Florida Woman Allows 12 Year To Drive For Drinks While She Rode Shotgun In The Backseat

Oh, Florida—the land of sunshine, Disney World, and far too many underage drivers these days. Police in Port St. Lucie were understandably surprised yesterday when they responded to the scene of a three-car accident and discovered a 12-year-old girl behind the wheel of the car that caused the chain-reaction crash.

According to police, twenty-year-old Brittany Ashley Powell was watching the intrepid tween along with two younger girls when she had the bright idea to let the oldest drive everyone to a nearby Circle K gas station for "beverages." Right. Powell rode shotgun with the 7 and 11-year-old in the backseat as they amazingly reached the store without incident.

Well if you put a 12 year old in the Drivers seat - and her 98 year old great grandmother in the Front Passenger seat - somewhere in the middle is a proper aged driver!!!!!

Thankfully its Florida - by now everyone knows that driving down there is taking your life into your own hands - with the seniors behind the wheels.

009, shotgun is the front passenger seat, not the back seat. And the article said the other girls were in the back seat. Try again.
