This is the moment a reckless dad allows his 18-month-old tot to take the wheel while driving.

The incident was filmed in the district of Pozharsky in the far-eastern Russian region of Primorsky Krai which borders with North Korea.

The footage shows a young tot taking the steering wheel on her dad’s lap as he occasionally intervenes to keep the vehicle on track.

Reports said the video was filmed by the toddler’s mother in the passenger seat.

According to local media, a resident who saw the footage on social media reported the incident to the police.

The police then managed to identify the child’s parents. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs said the father is 25 years old and his partner is 22, but they were not named.

The local authorities have reportedly fined the couple 3,000 RUB (33 GBP) for not using a baby seat when driving with their toddler daughter.

Local media said the mother was fined an additional 1,000 RUB (11 GBP) for distracting the driver’s attention.

The local police also thanked the unidentified netizen for reporting the incident and sending them the video footage.
