Toddlers behind the wheel

I am a little concerned about the driving years, and our wee bairn hasn't even had his second birthday!  He has one of those plastic cars they can sit on and push with their legs or hold the handle and walk behind.  I have already sabotaged the sound mechanism (batteries, what batteries?) as my sanity could not take 14 hours a day of constant sirens.  This past week he has also been caught talking on the phone while driving and has had several reckless driving citations besides.  He has an old remote to play with and this doubles as a cell phone, he was talking on his remote while trying to ride on his car.  After that he wanted to ride it down the basement stairs and then tipped over while trying to pull another toy, among other misadventures.  I suppose this comes of having boys.  My one comfort is that by the time he is old enough to drive (30 if we are lucky) they won't have cell phones but some other nifty device that is completely hands free; I am not sure what will happen if he wants to drive his car into the basement?
