Backseat Drivers
Headline: Highway joyride lands Australian boys in trouble
I think that's hilarious! Not the whole part about actually driving, etc., but the fact that they tried to act like they weren't doing anything wrong is funny.
Once, when I was 15, my sister let me use her 1977 Chevy Impala to go pick up a friend of mine. I didn't have my license yet so I was instructed to go straight there and straight back without any detours.
Naturally, I took the scenic route back, which consisted of cruising up and down "the avenue" for a little while before returning to the house. Unfortunately though, I took a wrong turn and ended up going down the same street where my sister was attending a picnic.
When we realized we were at the point of no return, we simply did what any 15 year old dumbasses would do in that situation: we ducked. So now, imagine if you will, a land yacht like a '77 Impala sailing down a major road without anyone in the car at all.
Luckily for us, we weren't caught by the police or my sister, at least not on that day. And believe me, she would've been worse than the cops.
The report also mentioned once they were pulled over, the boys hurriedly jumped into the backseat where they usually sit when riding in the car.SYDNEY (Reuters) - Two Australian boys aged 10 and 6 who decided to pay their grandfather a surprise visit drove almost 62 miles along a busy highway before they were pulled over, police said Monday.
