WHAT NOT TO DO

Hello and welcome back... A 16yo male from Melbourne has pimped out his truck with emergency lights / sirens and has then hit the streets.

There are claims he has spent $100,000 on the truck and has been caught by police attending various accidents / incidents.
While the young man admits it was a silly idea, he will now probably have a criminal record.

Maybe he should have joined the VRA or something like that.
