Video: Kid takes the express route home from school… on the back of a lorry

This young lad over in the UK was recently recorded taking a bit of a shortcut home from school by hitching a ride on the back of an artic lorry...

The walk home from school always felt like five kilometres more than it actually was, but this young chancer from England found a bit of a shortcut home.

Now, this kid is either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid, or both, but you have to admire how casual he is about the whole thing. Those really were the days...

The lads in the car follow him for a short while, before the large lorry slows down giving the little nipper a chance to jump down onto the road. He then strolls off home giving the lads in the car a big smile and a thumbs-up... like a boss junior executive.

Obviously, we don’t condone this sort of thing, but we’ll leave it up to you to make your own judgment on hitching rides on the back of lorries...
