Children as young as eight have been caught speeding by police in Britain in the last two years, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency figures reveal.

A Freedom of Information response shows two instances where people aged eight were found in cars or on motorbikes.

More than 900 people in their 90s got penalty points for speeding, with three incidents involving people aged 99.

The FOI request sought details of driving offences committed in 2017 and so far this year.

If a driver is underage, the endorsements are held on file by the DVLA and the penalty points can be added to any driving licence they hold in the future.

The DVLA did not provide information about the circumstances of the driving offences, saying its role was to compile information provided by the courts.

But its figures show more than one million speeding offences were recorded over the period concerned.

Nearly 1,400 offences related to people aged under 17, including one aged 11 and three aged 13.

The majority of speeders were people in their 40s, which is thought to include the largest age group of motorists.

The highest number of speeders were aged 46, amounting to 30,075 offences

How the fuck are 8 year olds driving? Most of the time when they drive it ends up like this:

Or this:
 
Finally, the insurrection against loiscences begin.

(P.S. We'll stop making loiscence jokes when you Britbongs stop asking for them.)

Why is it always eight year-olds?

Sometimes it's 7 year-olds. But they're white, church-going 7 year-olds so instead of jail they recieve a sum from the media for their family interview so they can laugh it off and give viewers a giggle with their cup of joe in the morning.


I'm actually surprised that the UK stats are so low for joyriding kids - though I wonder if joyriding stats are on par with education stats when it comes to..err... travellers. As in unreported so they don't make the Britbongs look bad or, (heaven forbid!) Racisssst! *gasp!*
 
What's the minimum age for a drivers' loicence in the UK? I'm pretty sure these kids are a bit too young to even get a loicense to drive, much less steal their parents' cars and drive them without said loicense. Due to them failing the criteria to be able to drive a car,

it would, in fact, mean...

they didn't have a LoIcEnSe for that, m8
 
Eh. We drove when we were kids. You had to, there was no other way to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time.

I wasn't allowed on the freeway, though, or to drive to the city. Kids can drive just as well as the elderly, I'm all in favor of lowering the loiscence age to 14 or somesuch.
 
Were they really 8 or were they "totally victim refugees who are kids" when in reality 27 year old kebabs going to second grade?
