Is your child bored of playing video games? Does he need something more challenging than ‘Need for Speed’? Why not let him take a real Ferrari F340 for a spin? At the end of the day what’s the worst that can happen? These might have been the thoughts of Mohammed Nisham before letting his 9-year–old son drive his luxury supercar.
After pestering his parents for months, the young boy had finally his birthday wish granted.
The irresponsible father didn’t just let his son drive the F340, but he also made his wife proudly record the boy’s achievements on a mobile phone.
Thankfully the video got traced by local police, who charged the tobacco and real estate tycoon with driving offences and allowing a minor to drive.
The sudden and incredible economic boom India is undergoing has created a class of super-rich people, who are often targeted by the media for their extreme and bizarre activities.
Stories like this one are often in the press, but wealthy parents do not seem at all concerned about the dangers of such reckless behaviour.
The boy’s mother even told the local paper “It was his ninth birthday, and since he was insisting for months, we allowed him to drive the Ferrari.
He is a cautious and confident driver.
I am proud of him.
It’s not easy for a child to achieve such a feat at this young age.
