A disturbing video circulating on WhatsApp has prompted authorities to launch an investigation into a case of a 14-year-old boy driving a car without adult supervision in a residential area. The 1-minute-49-second video, which has gone viral, shows a woman reprimanding the teenager for operating a Perodua Viva while two younger children, believed to be his siblings, are seen in the vehicle.
This incident has raised concerns about the safety of the children involved and the potential risks posed to other road users. According to authorities, this is not the first time the teenager has been spotted driving, although the previous locations remain unknown.
Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri, Director of the Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT), has confirmed that the case is currently under review, and efforts are being made to verify whether any formal reports have been lodged. The authorities are working to identify the family involved and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The incident highlights the importance of ensuring that minors are not allowed to operate vehicles without proper supervision and licensure. It also underscores the need for parents and guardians to take responsibility for the safety and well-being of their children.
