NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. -- Maybe the beer was talking when Barry Colbert agreed to let his 7-year-old son drive the family car. whatever the reason, investigators said that the first-grader ran a stop sign and crashed into another car. No one was seriously hurt, but Colbert and his son were cited. "I'm not irresponsible,'' said Colbert, 38. "I just had a few beers.'' it all started Friday night when the boy finished dinner, cleaned his room and completed his homework. As a reward, he wanted to drive the family's 1988 Mercury Tracer. "Sure,'' dad replied. "I had a couple beers and went back to the feeling that we can go around the block a couple times and be safe.'' Colbert said he often lets his son drive while he rides along, pushing the seat forward and putting inline skates on the boy so he can reach the pedals. "Some kids play with dolls,'' Colbert said. "My kid wants to drive.'' Pasco County sheriff's deputies said the boy, driving with his headlights off, ran a stop sign less than a block from his home, which is about 30 miles north of St. Petersburg. He crashed into another car, causing a combined $3,500 in damage, they said. Deputies arrived just as Colbert backed his car up. They say two Breathalyzer tests showed his blood- alcohol level to be 0.109 and 0.128 percent. Florida law presumes impairment at 0.08 percent. Colbert was charged with drunken driving, habitually driving with a suspended license and letting an unlicensed person drive. He was released from jail Sunday without bail. The boy will be cited for driving without a license, driving without headlights and running a stop sign, deputies said. Colbert said he hopes his son won't get in trouble. "He's a good kid. That's why I'm so lenient with him,'' he said. "I don't see why they would punish a kid for something his dad said it was OK to do.'' What about the boy's future as a NASCAR driver? "Well, I hope so -- if I don't get him in trouble and shoot that down,' |

When I was about 12-14 my father always wanted me to drive when we went to his parents. We always chose a very deserted road, it was fun :) |
