Souonds like my boy....
This sounds like something Darren (my son) would do. He is almost 4 and is very independant. After dinner, he usually comes upstairs, turns on my laptop, opens Wordpad, changes the font and color and starts typing...mainly his name, but then anything he feels like. The other day he opoened Firefox and was googling for his name 
Four-year-old's late-night drive
A boy of four drove his mother's car on a late-night trip to a video shop in the US state of Michigan, police say.
Although too small to reach the accelerator, he put the car in gear and the idling engine took him to the shut shop, 400m (437yds) away in Sand Lake.
On its return journey the car's weaving attracted a policeman - who followed the apparently driverless vehicle.
The youngster hit two parked cars and reversed into the police car before he was stopped. He will not face charges.
The policeman who discovered exactly who was behind the wheel, Sgt Jay Osga, said: "He knew how to go from forward to reverse," Sgt Osga said.
The mother said she taught him how to drive while he was sitting on her lap.
No charges will be brought against the boy or his mother for Friday's incident.
"He's four-years-old. His mom didn't even know he was up," Sand Lake police chief Doug Heugel told The Grand Rapids Press newspaper.
"I don't think he even realises what he did."
