Po­lice are warn­ing the pub­lic to de­sist from al­low­ing mi­nors, not yet of le­gal dri­ving age, to op­er­ate a ve­hi­cle. 

This comes af­ter a video sur­faced on so­cial me­dia show­ing a child dri­ving a B-15 Nis­san down an in­cline. 

The child was be­ing en­cour­aged by some­one be­hind the cam­era as he drove done, he who ap­pears to be nine years old is then seen putting the car in park and pulling up the hand­brakes. 

Well, the po­lice say they are tak­ing this ac­tion se­ri­ous­ly and are re­mind­ing the pub­lic that no one should em­ploy a per­son to dri­ve a mo­tor ve­hi­cle un­less that per­son has a valid dri­ving per­mit for the class of ve­hi­cle be­ing dri­ven. 

Those found dis­re­gard­ing this law are li­able to a $750 fine or six months im­pris­on­men 

And un­der the Chil­dren’s Act some­one who has re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for a child and will­ful­ly ex­pos­es the child in a man­ner like­ly to cause that child suf­fer­ing or in­jury to their health can be fined $5,000 or be im­pris­oned for six years on sum­ma­ry con­vic­tion, or fined $50,000 or im­pris­oned for 10 years on con­vic­tion on in­dict­ment. 

On Fri­day, Min­is­ter of Gen­der and Child Af­fairs Ayan­na Web­ster-Roy al­so warned par­ents about putting their chil­dren at risk. 

In­ves­ti­ga­tions re­lat­ed to the video are con­tin­u­ing.
