It is official... Nick is now a learner driver as of Wednesday the 5th of August. Happy Birthday DriftKid, sweet 16 and never been kissed...NOT...30 out of 30 for his learner test and so he should. DriftKid has developed some bad habits drifting I might add. All day we drove around Brisbane Wednesday as it was his first time ever driving on the roads and not on a track and all day I told him to slow down because he was speeding. 2 or 3 k's over the speed limit is not speeding DriftKid replies. I also found he braked to late as I found myself pushing on the brake pedal in the passenger seat which is what he does on the track. Corners he takes at 60 k/p/h and hangs his arm out the window just in case there is a photographer lurking around the corner..LOL..
But I have to say, DriftKid is a very confident and capable driver on the road and I feel he will have his 100 hours up in just a few months. Does anyone know if we can class track time in his driver log ???? Wouldn't that be great... I don't think the government would class Drifting as driver training or experience but at some level they should. I think DriftKids track time and experience will make him a better driver with a lot of defensive driving skills under his belt and I for one am relieved he has been able to learn these defensive tactics.
So Happy Brithday DriftKid and Stay safe whilst driving.
