Drunk father made his eight-year-old son drive

Juliusz Tomszewski, eight, got a call from his father, Mikolaj, telling him to cycle to the pub to drive him home

A man is facing five years in jail over a three-car pile up after telling his eight-year-old son to drive him home because he was too drunk.

Mikolaj Tomaszewski, 38, had been drinking with friends in Gielniow, Poland, all afternoon.

When he decided to go home, he realised he was far over the legal limit.

Thankfully, he happened upon an alternative: young Juliusz.

Rather than call a taxi, the father called his son and told him to cycle to the pub, and then to drive him home.

He told police that he had allowed the youngster to practice driving at weekends in a local supermarket car park, and thought it would be fine for his son to drive him the short distance home.
