Disbelieve as a 9-year-old boy is spotted driving a Totoya Passo on the busy Mombasa Road

There was shock and disbelieve when a little boy was spotted driving a car along a busy highway.

The child, who looks no older than 9, was sitting in the driver’s seat as he sped along the road in Mombasa Road.

Witnesses claimed the boy looked amazingly comfortable as he peered over the steering wheel, even in rainy conditions.

They believe the child was driving at more than 80kmph.

It appears that other motorist had spotted the strange sight as they drove down the Highway.

The baby-faced boy was seen staring at the road ahead.

He was at the wheel of a Toyota Passo, a hatchback capable of speeds in excess of 140kmph.

Amazingly, an adult passenger in the boy’s car identified at the boy’s father appeared to be tapping away at a mobile phone as the child drove. In the back seat was the boy’s younger sister 5 years old.

When they approached a police check, they were flagged down and the boy-driver obliged. However, as the traffic cop approached, they quickly switched sitting positions. The boy’s father quickly took control of the car and speed off.

The cops gave a high speed chase and caught up with the offender. The shocked minors were later dropped at school while their father is cooling his heels at the police cell waiting to be aligned in court tomorrow.

The incident happened this morning and has shocked many onlookers.

It isn’t the first time a child driver has been caught on camera though.

Last year, another boy was spotted behind the wheel of a family car by a shocked fellow motorist.

Recorded from the passenger seat of his car, he records the Toyota Prado pulling up next to his car with the youngster behind the wheel.

Struggling to see over the steering wheel, he is was busy checking out the traffic, before smiling at the man recording the footage.

The 7-year-old boy turned into a social media sensation after he was spotted driving the SUV like a pro.

In the viral video, a man who reacted in shock is heard interrogating the young boy, who was busy behind the wheel spinning the high-end vehicle.

“Are you sure you are the one driving this car”? The man asks and the 7-year-old boy says yes and continues driving.

According to a social media user who shared the video, the boy drives himself to school.

The video caused an uproar on social media.

Lawyer Wahome Thuku led Netizens in calling for the arrest of the boy’s parents, claiming that he was endangering the lives of other motorists.
