VIDEO: 3-year-old taxi driver confuses Dubliners in Hailo's latest prank

As far as pranks go, this one is pretty inventive.

To celebrate Hailo Ireland's third birthday, the company decided to hire a three-year old as their latest driver - causing Dubliners across the city to do a double-take.

But where is the real steering wheel!?

Made by the same team behind the viral heterophobic taxi driver prank released to coincide with the marriage equality referendum in May, it's a pretty convincing stunt.

The taxi-hailing service is celebrating its third birthday by offering existing customers entry to a draw to win €1 for every kilometre they've travelled with the company.

For those heavy users who have travelled more than 1,000 km, though, the draw is for an all-expenses paid trip as far as the total distance travelled in Hailo taxis.
