One of the biggest police cases in NZ was a 15 year old in a stolen car, filmed by the over head chopper, he out drove the police and made them look like idiots.
The footage was also shown over seas on a TV car chase thingy.
That Kid would have made a fantastic racing driver, but took another road.
How can kids drive like that do their parents teach them from the time they are 10 years old or does it just come naturally to some ??
We used to race the old rally car at a local club. They had a class for under 16 year old kids. They first had to be trained by experienced race drivers, but a couple of these kids where outright place getters on race day, posting faster times than almost all of the adults.
I think the driving games that the kids play on their PC;s give them a lot of experience. The games are basically race car simulators. I have had a couple of nephews from the city who have never driven before hop into the old rally car. They have no fear or understanding of consequences and to be honest are frightening to sit beside on their first drive treating it just like a PC game. ( accelerator flat to the floor, agressive steering etc. )
Our daughter who has just turned 13 is a highly competent driver and has been taught steep hill starts, rank parking etc. in the manual farm ute as well as competition driving in the rally car.
