[cotty]

Surely he is already banned from driving until he is 17

From the report:

The magistrates told him: "If you break the terms of the order you will be brought back to court and you will be punished in a different way."

A "different way" - the mind boggles...

If I recall correctly they do this because 'driving whilst banned' carries a worse penalty then 'driving without a license'. So they can spank him a bit harder next time. Still pretty pathetic though.

What they going to do take his smarties away

[scared but happy]

Yeah, send the poor fer on holiday that will teach him.

Strange, thought all BMW's were driven by or in the manner of, an 11 year old ?

No wonder they never use their indicators.

surely the parents must have known he was out driving, he's 11!!!!!! it says he swapped his off road quad a week prior where did he keep the car? His mum was prob just pleased to have a lift to the "nick" to visit his thought to be dad! If he dose have a behaviour disorder then why was he out alone in the first place? the mind boggles, bring back corporal punishment!! I wonder what the sentance would have been had he hit someone whilst texting all his mates, who were under "ASBOs", the footage of him doing so....prob just a supervision order and a new playstation...

Magistrates heard the boy, who cannot be named, was playing on his £100 off-road mini motorbike last month when a man in his twenties offered the E-reg BMW in exchange.

What !!

I don't know what's worse, the kid driving the car or the "man" giving him it in exchange for his bike.

Awaiting someone to point out that the real crime is he drove a BMW.

Well if he is given 9 points on his license as soon as he passes his test, he'll be banned anyway - you can only have six for the first few years. Infact his license will be revoked, so he will have to re-apply.

I wonder where he was riding his "off-road mini motorbike"

According to the radio last night, the boy has "learning difficulties" and didn't know that he needed a license to drive.
