4 year old Chinese girl driving on busy streets

A GIRL of FOUR has been filmed driving down a busy main road while her dad shouts instructions from the back seat.

The incredible footage, apparently shot by the girl's mother, shows her speeding along a four-lane motorway, calmly overtaking other cars as she goes.

In the background, her parents can be heard reminding the youngster — who is not wearing a seatbelt — to look ahead and not be distracted.

At one point, as she overtakes an SUV, her father says: "Concentrate! Be careful when passing other vehicles."

When stopping at a set of traffic lights, the girl mistakenly queues in the left-turn lane. But she skilfully spins the wheel and pulls into the neighbouring lane to continue the journey.

After several minutes of driving her father says: "Jia Zheng, stop the car. Let daddy drive."
The man then jump out and slide into the driving seat. He is seen removing a set of stilts the youngster was using to control the pedals.

The extraordinary video was shot in Jinan, Shandong Province, China, and posted on YouKu, a popular Chinese video site. Understandably, the video created instant outrage among netizens in China and the call to punish the parents for endangering public safety. However, some users were impressed with her good driving skills and her coolness on the road, a trait not always apparent on China’s modern roadways. You can watch the video here.

If I’ve a kid with such good driving skills, I’ll teach her how to drift! Of course it’ll be in a controlled environment.
