The reckless parents of a ten-year-old boy were caught on camera letting him drive a car down the middle of a motorway.

The footage was recorded by a fellow motorist earlier this week in Hyderabad in Telangana, India. 

In the video, a small silver hatchback can be seen driving along the central lane of the carriageway.

The vehicle that is recording is positioned in the outside lane as it gets set to overtake.

But as it passes the silver car it quickly becomes clear that it is a child behind the wheel. 

The young boy, who has a passenger alongside him as well as in the back seat, looks up toward the camera through the open window.

He turns his head away abruptly as the car recording continues ahead, which is where the video ends.

It is thought that the clip was taken on the outer ring road of the city before traffic police were made aware.

Officers immediately tracked down the car and discovered that the driver was only ten years old.

They issued an electronic citation as well as a fine for the car’s owner.

The minimum age to acquire a driving license in India is 18.
