A video posted more than 13 hours ago has already sparked social media outrage within the Saudi community. The video, which has amassed almost 5,000 views on Instagram, shows an 8-year-old boy driving a CAR on the highway in Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And what’s worse?<\/p>\n

It seems his father sits right beside him, in the passenger’s seat, while teaching him to drive. That’s pretty insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A passerby in another vehicle took this video\u00a0<\/h3>\n

It was shared by Alramsnet on Tuesday, and shows a child driving while being recorded by a random passerby who could not contain his anger at the seeming ‘irresponsible’ act.<\/p>\n
