Ottawa police pull over unlicensed 13-year-old driver who 'wanted to get candy
Police say the young teen was driving along Strandherd Drive, a major road in the Barrhaven suburb, when the vehicle caught officers' attention on Thursday.
They say the vehicle was moving slowly and had trouble staying in its lane.
Police say the driver and two passengers of similar age told officers they "wanted to get candy from the gas station."
No one in the car had a driver's licence.
Police say the kids' parents and guardians were contacted and there were no injuries reported.

A bit of amusing news for a change.
Ottawa, Canada's capital, is in the Province of Ontario where I am from. I don't know the present regulations but when I learned to drive one could get a Driving Learner's Permit at the age of 15, with which one had to have a licensed driver beside them when they were driving, and they could get a regular driving licence at the age of 16.
It was the same here but as I recall we had to be 15 1/2 to get a Learner's Permit. I think it's different now.
I can still remeber the cars I learned to drive on. The Driving School used those Studebakers that looked like they were both coming and going, and they had front seat dual controls - Steering wheels, all 3 foot pedals but I don't remember about the gearshift.
Was that when all cars were manual (before "automatic" gear-shifting?)
There might have been some automatic transmission cars, but the cars I learned on and my first car was a manual "H" mounted on the steering column. My second car and every car I owned after that was automatic.
They say the vehicle was moving slowly and had trouble staying in its lane.
Of course-- a typical case of "driving under the influence" (the dangers of a "sugar high")!
Do you think the cop made the kid walk on a straight line?
