凌晨4点，12岁男孩在高速上开车6个小时，被查时竟称：我是成年人，只是身材矮小
双语君约 5 分钟据广西交警6月16日披露，近日，桂林市公安局交通管理支队高速公路管理三大队执勤警力查获一起未成年人偷开他人机动车独自驾车上高速的严重交通违法行为。
A 12-year-old boy in south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region was stopped after driving a neighbor's car alone on an expressway for more than six hours, his journey ending only when he ran short of cash to pay a toll.
The incident unfolded on Monday at the Gaotian toll station on the G65 Baomao Expressway near Guilin, where a toll collector became suspicious after the driver said he did not have enough money to cover the toll.
According to local traffic police, the person behind the wheel looked unusually small. When asked his age, the driver insisted he was an adult and claimed he simply had a form of dwarfism.
The toll collector alerted local police, who soon discovered that the "adult" driver was actually a 12-year-old boy surnamed Luo, who had no driver's license.
During questioning, Luo repeatedly changed his story. He initially claimed he was driving to visit his grandmother and said the car belonged to his aunt. He also told officers it was his first time behind the wheel and that he had learned to drive as he went.
Investigators later contacted his father and the vehicle owner. The sedan belonged to a neighbor, who had no idea it had been taken until police called him.
Luo eventually admitted that he and several friends had taught themselves to drive "for excitement" and had secretly driven vehicles before.
According to police, the boy stole the neighbor's car keys at around 4 am on Monday and entered the expressway via Xiangshan toll station in Guilin at about 4:45 am. He then drove through several counties, spending more than six hours on the road.
