Police spokesperson Nurlan Almasbekov said: “Even if we consider that the boy was driving in a safe zone, we cannot ignore the potential risk for him in first place.

“His father should have been aware of that.”

Almasbekov also confirmed that the boy’s dad has admitted his mistake and has vowed not to do anything similar in the future.

Netizen ‘771’ said: “I bet the father has nothing else to teach his son other than how to show off in the ugliest ways possible.”
