No matter how much trouble he gets into, he'll think it was worth it!

A 14-year-old German schoolboy has sparked a major police operation after taking his father's new Ferrari for a spin lasting several hours.

The teenager's parents bought the €200 000-euro (R1.95-million) sports car (police didn’t say what model it was) in Berlin and were returning to their home in Spain on Tuesday when police stopped them on a motorway near the German capital and detained them for questioning.

A police spokesman sqaid: “The 14-year-old was unable to resist the temptation.

“When an acquaintance of the family noticed the car and the boy were missing, he suspected theft or even an abduction.”

Following a major police operation lasting several hours, the “totally unrepentant” teenager returned to the police station in the undamaged black car. He now faces several charges - including driving without a licence. - AFP

I started driving when I was around 14 also. On public roads. I have never had an accident. Some people just develop certain skills faster. If you can drive properly at that age you should be allowed to drive. I dont see any problem with the above story except that the acquaintance of the family wasted the time of the cops.
