The youngster was visiting a luxury vehicle dealership with his dad and Jennifer Lopez when he was allowed to sit in a yellow Lamborghini, and accidentally put the car into reverse. A representative for Ben has confirmed that no damage was caused in the mishap - but we think Samuel might wait until he has a driver’s permit next time!
