"Videos are circulating on social media showing a 14-year-old Kharkiv resident driving a car and demonstrating a reckless driving style. On September 16, 2025, while driving a car belonging to his family, the minor lost control and collided with another vehicle," the prosecutor's office reported.
The prosecutor's office emphasized that his actions contradict the requirements of the law, as he has not reached the age at which driving is permitted. They added that such a violation poses a real threat to the life and health of the minor himself and the safety of other road users.
