A man directing the child can be heard shouting directions at him sitting on the passenger seat. He can be heard telling the boy to 'keep over' as he begins to veer into a slipway. The video looks like quite a dangerous stunt and at the same time, it is worrying for the child. The PSNI confirmed it was making inquiries into the incident.

A spokesman was quoted as saying, "We have received a report and are aware of footage which has been shared on social media and are making inquiries." The boy is so small that he has to sit on the edge of the sear to drive the truck. The moment he steers away looks quite dangerous as it could have led to an unfortunate accident. There are quite some videos of young boys driving trucks on social media platforms. Recently, an 11-year-old boy from Indianapolis was praised on social media for driving his ill grandmother home in a car.
