""Sergeant Chris Brolan was given information by members of the public that there was a juvenile driving a VW campervan on the Upton bypass, westbound. "It is a national speed limit dual carriageway. "He [Sgt Brolan] observed the vehicle - there was nothing remarkable about the driving at all. "The vehicle indicated to leave the dual carriageway and moved into the slip road, the defendant then pulled into the side of the road without the officer even putting the blue lights on.""
"The schoolboy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was seen by shocked motorists behind the wheel of his family's 2.5 litre van on the A35, a busy dual carriageway in Poole, Dorset, in the middle of the night without his mum or dad knowing. They called 999 and the traffic police soon found the silver van, which pulled over safely and compliantly."
A 13-year-old boy drove his parents' Volkswagen 2.5 litre campervan on the A35 dual carriageway in Poole, Dorset during the early hours while on school summer holidays. Shocked motorists reported the vehicle and called 999. Traffic police located the silver van, which pulled over safely and compliantly, and the boy was arrested and placed in handcuffs. The boy, now 14, attended Poole Magistrates' Court and apologized, saying "I'm really sorry and I won't do it again." He received six penalty points on his driving licence, will not be eligible for points for two years, and his parents were ordered to pay 105 in court costs. His father said the boy will wash cars for a year to pay off the debt.
