3-Year-Old F-150 Driver Ticketed for Speeding!

Ford F-150

Pint-sized F-150 driver sentenced to laundry duty for traffic infraction.

Fort McMurray, Canada resident Nathan Snow isn’t even old enough to drive, yet he’s already had his first run-in with the law. The three-year-old received a speeding ticket while cruising around the neighborhood in his miniature, battery-powered F-150. Making matters even worse, the entire incident went down with his parents and pet Pomeranian Lacey by his side.

A local police officer spotted the young man and lit him up before handing him a speeding ticket. But his punishment wasn’t a fine or jail time – it was much worse than that. The officer instructed Nathan to help his mother with the laundry. And his mother, Heather Snow, told CBC News that she actually encouraged the entire incident.

“He just rolled down the window and he’s like, ‘Hey, would you guys mind if I pulled him over?’ And we were pretty excited,” Snow said.

For his part, Nathan handled the incident like a champ. After receiving the ticket and punishment, he simply replied “OK,” and even thanked the officer! That’s a whole lot more self restraint than most people show during a traffic stop.

Hopefully the infraction won’t deter Nathan from driving his shiny silver and black F-150, which he received as a Christmas present this past year. But we’ll sleep soundly tonight knowing that our streets are a little safer, thanks to the most adorable traffic stop ever.
