First car I drove was the old chap's victor, was more concerned about not crashing into a dry stone wall than changing gear as he was sat beside me at the time.
I must have been all of about 12 at the time.

As a 6 year old, on my Dad's knee, a Mk 1 Cortina in Clumber Park near Worksop. :y
At 11, with my Dad sat beside me and me driving, was in a Ford Corsair, Sedgefield Industrial Estate :y
Started my little brother off when he was 10, in a Humber Sceptre :D :D lovely car.

Just went on from there....... ;D ;D ;D

That was my first car, I'd been driving tractors on the farm since I was about 8 or 9.
Nowadays the health and safety would have a fit. ;D ;D

Interesting point, :y I never drove one but I had a couple of friends who were farmers sons at that age and they drove the tractors, no cabs and no roll bars. ::) I take you point but I wonder if any youngsters still drive them, or in other situations, haulage companies etc where Dad is the boss. :)

I'm sure there still are Mike, it's one of those situations where the legislation only applies when something goes wrong, someone gets hurt and there's a frenzy of activity to apportion blame.
