On Monday afternoon, the argument between a mother and son on the car after school took a scary turn. Concerned about her son’s academic performance, the mother threatened to confiscate the 14-year-old’s phone if he continued to do badly in school. The screaming match quickly escalated when the son reached over for the car keys and switched off the engine in the middle of the road. The mother then went out to call the police, and that’s when the son tried to drive off without her. The police eventually arrived, got the teen out of the car and issued a fine for driving without a license.

The woman screams as she runs and tries to stop the car. The driver eventually relents when the police arrive and orders him to step out.

- Get out!
- Pull up the hand brake!

The driver wouldn’t take orders from the police, so officers break the car window to force open the door and drag him out. To everyone’s shock, he’s only 14. As for the sobbing woman, she’s the mother. Earlier, the two were in a heated argument, which got the son drive off without his mother.

- Why would you do this?
- Why?

The incident happened on Monday in Hualien’s Ji’an Township. The mother and son were arguing over his poor academic performance, with the mother threatening to confiscate his phone if he continued not to do well in school. To protest, the son reached over for the car key and switched off the engine. The mother then got out to call the police. That was when the son crawled over to the driver’s seat. He couldn’t drive, so the car stumbled on the street, frightening other road users.

To prevent greater risk and to protect the boy’s safety and the safety of road users in the vicinity, after a verbal warning failed our officers obtained permission from the car owner to break the window with a baton and pulled the young boy out of the car to restrain him.

The mother eventually calmed down after her son was under control. The police issued a fine for driving without a license, in accordance with the Road Traffic Management and Safety Act. The woman probably never expected an argument to take such a scary turn.
