Sarah Jessica Parker was caught driving her son James around at night with the headlights off in a brand new Mercedes minivan over the weekend.

A state trooper reportedly pulled SJP over on Route 27 in the Hamptons, and ascertained that the actress simply had no idea how to turn on the lights. Sarah told the cop that rather than trying to figure it out, she decided that she would just take her kid on an fun dark adventure ride instead.  The starstruck officer decided to let SJP off with a warning after giving her a simple lesson on how to turn on the headlights of a car.
