- Rose Fern, 2, was stopped while brushing her teeth in her bright pink mini car
- She ‘exceeded the speed limit’, but brazenly managed to get out of a ticket
A toddler driving a bright pink toy car was pulled over by police in Okarche, Oklahoma, on Monday for “exceeding the speed limit” and brushing her teeth behind the wheel.
A hilarious video shared by the Okarche Police Department shows two-year-old Rose Fern breaking the law while being stopped by police while brushing her teeth behind the wheel of her bright pink battery-powered mini car.
Officer Maness noticed the mini lawbreaker on Kansas Avenue and “immediately took action” against Fern, police wrote in their social media post.
‘Rose managed to talk her way out of a citation and was given a warning instead. “I’m sure her ‘cuteness’ had something to do with it,” the post read.

Fern could be seen brushing her teeth in the car and didn’t seem to notice the flashing lights and siren behind her until she finally turned to look at the police vehicle.
It is not clear how fast little Fern was driving or whether she was wearing a seat belt.
The moment, captured and posted to Facebook by Okarche officers, entertained social media users who found the little ‘speeder’ quite funny.
“Good job stopping those speeders,” one person wrote.
Another said: ‘Only two years old and no driving licence. I’m curious to see how many points she gets.’
