Girl Drives at 12

An Australian 12-year-old self-taught driver out looking for boys in her grandma's car led police on a brief chase that reached 110kmh in a 60kmh zone early today. Police were shocked to find the driver of a car they were pursuing early this morning was a 12-year-old girl. Police from Reservoir noticed the Mitsubishi wagon driving without headlights along Mahoneys Road, Thomastown about 1.45am but when they attempted to pull the car over it accelerated away and a short pursuit ensued. "Soon as we put the lights on they've taken off of on us at a high rate of speed," said Reservoir Senior Constable Troy Paterson. "We thought 'this driver looks pretty competent' - they crashed a red light. "They've pulled over ... we approached the car and to our surprise, there's a little 12 year-old girl, seat pushed into the steering wheel, could barely see over the bloody steering wheel. "She said 'I'm just taking grandma's car for a spin to meet up with some boys'."We asked her 'how do you know how to drive at 12?' And she said 'oh, I taught myself'." Police believe that at one stage the car reached 110kmh in a 60kmh zone.The car eventually stopped in High Street, Epping and the girl and her 15-year-old female passenger, both from West Heidelberg were arrested. Police expect to charge them both by summons with theft of the car, dangerous driving and other driving offences.
