THIS IS THE video that led to a man’s arrest.
Indian businessman Mohammed Nisham, who let his nine-year-old son cruise around in his Ferrari, was arrested after he posted the footage of the youngster at the wheel on YouTube, police said today.
The 88-second clip shows his son driving the Ferrari F430 with his five-year-old brother as co-passenger.
“The police cyber cell alerted us of it and we questioned Nisham who admitted he encouraged his son to drive the car on April 6,” said Biju Kumar, an officer in the Peramangalam district of Kerala, where the incident occurred.
“We have booked Nisham under relevant laws,” Kumar told AFP by phone from Peramangalam, a suburban neighbourhood.
A total of 131,834 people were killed in road accidents in India in 2011, according to the latest official government records.

Fair play to be able to drive so well at that age.!!
No clutch and the gear change is on the wheel it would be like a computer game to the child
Sure they get marred at about six,
It’s the scuderia model – the stripped down beast F430. Fair play.
Whats the Big deal.sure I was driving the Massey ferguson at that age
While Massy’s are classy…zetors are bettor!!!
Go on ya good thing ya!!!!
Shane – to be fair, he took care of it over the speedbumps….
My dad only let me drive a tractor and a forklift at that age.
To be fair…that’s some decent driving for a 9 year old!!! Bit reckless of the father though!!
More money than sense!
Driving dads Ferrari, that’s a paddlin
At least he did not rob it
Indian takeaway delivery business there I think…

I bet Sebastian vettel is shitting himself !!
that kid drives better than most adults i see driving. Not smart but at least he was driving smart.
The little shi*s are not even wearing seatbelts. Very dangerous.
Coolest dad in the world
He’s got the makings of a great driver, that youg lad. But not on a public road just yet!
Hahaha, watched that one YouTube 20 minutes ago and was wondering how that was anyway legal
AFFLUENCE!
Definitely beats sitting on your dads lap in the front seat steering as he does the pedals and gear changes.
Driving those semi auto ferraris is child’s play !
Driving a Ferrari but wearing a Ben 10 t-shirt!
lucky b@sterd
Drove a tractor as a ten yr old female on my uncles farm in galway thirty plus years ago….very liberating once its safe in public
Are you still female.?
Philip, comment of the week!
Wher did you park the tractor lol
Just love the sound of that engine
Serves the stupid parent right that he was arrested for showing off.
Shmart man.
Brrrommmmmmm
Get a motorbike and ill be proud of the little fella. A fraction of the price and way quicker , also not wrapped in a cage .
Ya ,wrapped around a pole,nice one .
No seatbelt it wouldn’t be so funny if they crashed and hit the windscreen and died, what an idiot
What a cool dad
current formula 1 drivers started driving at the age of 4 and up, karting…, driving is like riding a bike its easy, i see nothing wrong, there was no traffic, on a quiet road and the kid was 100% composed and confident in what he was doing, get over it
Ya ,wrapped around a pole ,nice one ….
have your say
