An appropriately contrite Shawn Weimer stands before the judge for sentencing.
Few of us wouldn’t enjoy the prospect of having a designated driver after a few dops, but it becomes downright ridiculous when that driver is just nine years old.
Some think differently though. In Detroit, a man who allowed his nine-year-old daughter to drive him around because he had been drinking has just been sentenced to two years’ probation.
Shawn Weimer pleaded guilty in December to second-degree child abuse and allowing an unlicensed minor to operate a motor vehicle.
Weimer was arrested on 8 October when police pulled over his van and found his daughter behind the wheel. A surveillance video from a filling station showed the 39-year-old bragging about the girl's driving skills.
Weimer pleaded guilty on the condition he'd receive no jail time. - Sapa-AP
