Purely because it amazed and amused me, I cannot help recalling the
case of two Scottish kids, aged seven and nine, who "borrowed" a car
in the Borders region, and did actually manage to get about eighty
miles by doing just what Gordon suggests.  Eventually a policeman
pulled them over as they were about to cross the Forth bridge, as he
thought the driver looked a little young ...

These particular kids were residents in a special-care home, and
might be assumed to have had an early education in the appropriation
and misuse of other people's cars.
