Completely standard here in Riyadh. The mums aren't allowed to drive (until this July) so they get their sons to drive whatever their age. I was almost wiped out by a 10yo driving a huge V8 truck with all of his siblings in it a couple of years ago. A colleague of mine was told by his dad (when driving underage) that if he crashed he was to get out of the car and run for it (leaving his mum in the car, probably).
