According to a press release by the Washington State Patrol, a trooper pulled over a vehicle for driving erratically and weaving. Turns out the driver was a 13-year old, whose father had had too much to drink so he turned the keys over to Jr. Too bad the kid didn’t actually know how to drive, if he was a a licensed driver it could have at least been a good case against drunk driving.

13-Year-Old Driver Stopped in SeaTac
King County — Erratic braking and an equipment violation led a trooper to stop a vehicle driven by a 13-year-old SeaTac boy.
On June 5, 2011, just before 12p.m., a silver Lincoln was traveling east on S. 166th Street in SeaTac in an erratic fashion. The trooper observed the vehicle had a broken windshield and the driver was very youthful in appearance. As the vehicle traveled, the trooper noted the driver was “violently stomping the brakes” and not using his lane properly. The trooper contacted the vehicle and it quickly became apparent that the passenger, a 40 year old SeaTac man, was the intoxicated father of the 13-year-old driver.
The passenger was booked in King County jail for investigation of Reckless Endangerment and Allowing an Unauthorized Person to Drive. The driver faces no charges and was released to his mother.
