Boy, 6, drives to school after missing bus.

Sent in from reader Spankie. From the Daily Mail:

A six-year-old boy who missed his bus tried to drive himself to school in the family car.

The child, who has not been identified, took the keys to the 2005 Ford Taurus while his mother was sleeping and drove six miles across the American state of Virginia.

He ran off the road several times before coming to a halt after hitting an embankment and telegraph pole about a mile-and-a-half from his destination.

Astonishingly, he then tried to continue his journey on foot before being stopped by police.

The boy suffered minor injuries, despite not wearing a seat belt, and was eventually taken to school by officers after being checked out at a hospital.
