The Youngest Driver no comments
I went to town again today – not Cambridge, it was to a more local, smaller one – and my brother gave me a lift, because he wanted to get some practice in before his next driving lesson. It’s great to see how far he’s come after only four lessons – today, he looked very good indeed. And he was filling me in with the latest car news, too, which he has become a sudden encyclopaedia on.
In the space of three lessons, he’s gone from stalling on every drive, and struggling with hill starts, to being very, very confident behind the wheel. Now I can’t remember the last time he stalled at all. We managed to get a brilliant car insurance quote for him – it was one of these deals where you only insure them for a short period of time, and you can get it done a lot cheaper. So as long as he passes his test within a period of a few months, it should be a fantastic deal.
And he looks to be on pace to do just that. He does all the little things well, and is always careful to maintain a nice, easy and legal speed – which, when there are so often stories of teenage car accidents in the news, is quite nice to see – and he’s thoroughly enjoying it all. In fact, he’s enjoying it so much that it’s lovely for me: I don’t have to drive anywhere myself – he’s only too keen to do it for me.
