Toddler Rides Scooter Across Busy Traffic Intersection (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post UK  |  Posted: Updated: 23/05/2012 15:04

There's brave - and there's driving through a busy traffic intersection during rush hour, in the wrong direction, on a toy scooter, when you're three years old.

Yes, behold the poor little lad who was captured on CCTV doing just that, in China's Wenzhou city.

The toddler was thankfully spotted by a police officer, plucked out unharmed and reunited with his grandfather - who looks after him while the boy's parents are at work. And who is clearly doing a sterling job.

If anyone recalls the little girl in China knocked down and left by passers by, this should really be no surprise. Miraculous springs to mind with his little trip.

I almost think if any of the cars had suddenly stopped for him, it would've caused a domino-style crash all down the road. And there he would have gone, scootering away!

No- The UK site is mostly filled with old junk from other countries and badly regulated.
The incident was in China and I am sure that the majority of normal parents would have been horrified at the blatant disregard for the child shown by all those drivers.
They say that 'Life' is cheap in China- Taking zenophobic potshots at countries who you go to war with-rather than against is also cheap!

Gotta love English humor!

This hardly qualifies as xenophobic, anymore than it has to do with military alliances. .

Yet more evidence drinking and driving don't mix.

The amazing thing is nobody stopped to get him. Even a guy on a bicycle rides right pass him like it's no big deal.

He is lucky this was in China. If this happened in America, the first thing the cop would do is taser him, then probably handcuff him, for fear the toddler might attack him.

The parents gave the child a battery operated scooter. The child was driving like most adults in China. No ability to look left or right, no concern for traffic rules, and going against traffic.

Having livid in China the past seven years, it is not bigotry if it is true. Even my Chinese friends say this is true.

oooh! that kid practicality almost got hit! The grand father should have brought him in the bathroom of put him in a crib!!!!

China has a one child policy. Seems like some citizens are having difficulty managing even that..+
