The police officers of Abbeville (Somme) surely did not expect this.
In the night from Sunday to Monday, they spot a car without a license, and are alerted by the small size of the driver, according to the Courrier Picard.
The officials intercept the vehicle ... and discover an 11-year-old child.
"The father, totally drunk by his side, had asked his son to bring him home," wrote the police on Twitter.
Legal proceedings were initiated against him.
[DRIVING AT 11 YEARS OLD ...]

Anyone over 14 years of age has the right to drive a car without a license, under certain conditions for people born on or after January 1, 1988. The BSR or AM license is compulsory for anyone born on or after January 1 1988, made a point of recalling the police.
the circulation of carts without a license is also strictly prohibited on expressways, double lanes limited to 110 km / h, the Paris ring road and a fortiori the motorways.
This does not prevent some from trying to defy the prohibition.
In 2019, it is another type of passenger that the police had discovered in a car without a license.
In La Ciotat, while they were carrying out a road check, they had found a horse installed in the front.
