A motorist has shared her disbelief after witnessing what appeared to be a preschooler steering a on Auckland's Southern Motorway in peak hour traffic today.
The woman, who asked not to be named, said she saw an adult female - head down and on a phone - with the child sat on her lap.
Photos supplied to the Herald appear to show the child with both hands on the steering wheel.
