The boy, who brought along a nine-year-old friend who also missed the bus, managed to make it more than two kilometres (more than a mile) in his father's Renault Megane before crashing into a roadside pylon, police in the southeastern town of Valence said.
"I had my seatbelt on," the boy pleaded to police when they arrived at the scene. Neither of the boys was injured during the crash.
Police said the boy could face charges of driving without a licence and damaging public property, but that prosecutors would decide whether to press ahead with the case.

He could face charges?? This kid misses the bus, gets in Dad's car, takes along another kid who missed the bus, fastens his seatbelt!, and drives 2 km toward school.
Most kids woulda said screw it, I'm staying home and playing video games, but this kid made a huge effort to get him and a friend to school.
The school should be giving him an award for effort.
