Getting pulled over while using your phone might be something that happens every day worldwide, but Oklahoma Police once stopped a two-year-old driving on the road in her pink convertible…toy car.

That’s right, a pink toy car — and not an actual convertible, of course.

It was a case of ‘distracted driving’ because, you see, the toddler wasn’t paying attention.

So, what exactly happened there?

Oklahoma Police once pulled over a two-year-old

Back in October 2023, the Okarche Police Department in Oklahoma, United States, posted footage of a patrol cop car limping behind a toy car.

One of the police officers was walking alongside the cop car to stop the mini convertible in front of it.

The convertible in question here was being driven by a two-year-old toddler, Rose.

Now, Rose was on a public road, and she was driving while brushing her teeth.

Well, she was actually chewing her toothbrush — but we understand, Rose.

Doing anything else while driving mostly comes under ‘distracted driving’ — which you can be cited for.

That’s precisely why she should have been pulled over, but it wasn’t the case.

Driving ‘too fast’ in her pink convertible

Okarche Police said that the actual problem was that Rose was exceeding the speed limit.

It’s certainly bizarre because who ever knew toy cars had officially stated speed limits?

We doubt if even the world’s most expensive toy car could go that fast.

Or even the Bugatti Baby toy car, for that matter.

Anyway, Rose was asked by officer Ashley Maness if she had a driver’s license, but Rose was apparently ‘not too interested in talking.’

In the end, Rose got away without getting a citation because of her ‘cuteness’ and received a ‘warning’ to avoid similar situations in the future.

We’ve seen our fair share of odd cases of people being pulled over, but this one certainly stands out.

To be fair, at least Rose had a legitimate case, unlike this billionaire getting pulled over on his private island.
