Fit To Drive?

This eight-year-old boy is a little hero.
His name is Ben Hedger .
 
 
When he realised that something was amiss, he put on the hazard lights and steered the car to the hard-shoulder where it stalled.
 
"He said he just did what he had to do otherwise we would have died."
 
He's probably right - he probably had no choice.
 
But he did do it and that makes him a hero.
 
The car was a Ford Ka, it will have been damaged bouncing along the central reservation but she won't be behind the wheel for a good while now - if ever.  But she is alive. And so is Ben.  And so is everyone else who was on the A120 near Colchester at the time.
 
So a good news story on the run-up to Christmas while The World is being crap.
