12-Year-Old Drunk Driver

Thursday, 12 August 2010 | by Pat's Picks

Police say a driver involved in a crash last weekend had a good reason for not having a license on her—turns out, she’s only 12 years old. The girl also had a good excuse for why she mistook the gas pedal for the brake—she was drunk. The Star Tribune says she was driving her 19-year-old passenger, also drunk, home when they were pulled over. The girl has not been formally charged but authorities say the option is still on the table.
