My son’s Driving practice, is it a little too early?
My son’s Driving practice, is it a little too early?
My son is 13 years old. He and i love cars. Since we also love exotic animals we love exotic cars, so i bought a Lamborghini Murcielago gt in 2006, and a ferrari 360 spider. He knows how to paddle shift, because i have driving simulators and he understands how to drive an all aspects of the car. He could park the cars for me, you know easy stuff. I have a big property…. and my drive way is huge length and width, so theres really nothing to worry about crashin into and he turns tightly anyway. I was thinking of taking him into a big empty parking lot, out of the main public, and setting up cones for him to practice driving around. I of course would be in the passenger seat with him. Do you think this is okay or am i being an irresponsible parent???
What an interesting question! I’ve instructed drivers at track events for years and I’ve never found someone with a car with paddle shifters that DIDN’T know how to use them. And as for life in general, it’s pretty rare that you run into someone that car afford the cars mentioned here and such a long driveway, but have such problems with basic English.
Why, if I didn’t know better, I’d almost think this question was written by a 13 year old that might be hoping to elicit repsonses on what a good idea it would be to let him practice driving! After all, said 13 year old probably knows how to paddle shift (wow, you know how to pull a paddle? How ever did you learn that?) and understands “how to drive an all aspects of the car.” I have no idea what that last part means, but hey, it does sound kinda impressive!
Putting any inexperienced driver behind the wheel of a high performance car is not exactly smart. This is something any adult or experience driver can most likely see pretty clearly… but something a 13 year old would probably miss (and might lead them to writing something just like this in Yahoo Answers).
The idea of a 13 year old having a chance to practice driving in a controlled environement though could have it’s merits, as could something like go-karting; allowing development for performance oriented driving aspects and car control.
