UniqueEars   10 #1 Posted November 14, 2017 Does anyone have any ideas where I could take my son for some driving practice, I planned to take him the Grange golf club to the carpark as you go in but it's all grass now! A large car park would be ideal, he's learning with an instructor but would benefit from some extra practice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â If he is insured and you have had a licence more than 3 years you can take him on the road. Just find somewhere quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

peak4 Â Â 296 #8 Posted March 12, 2018 Make sure he's insured on your car, even before allowing him behind the wheel in a car park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

With a few paid for lessons as soon as they were old enough, and a lot of varied road driving practice with me, both passed their tests first time and have over 20 year clean driving records. It's a shame more can't use facilities like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

monkey104   10 #12 Posted March 13, 2018 OK I’ll bite- What’s a J turn ?  It’s a manoeuvre used in protective driving. Where the driver escaping a threat to the front reverses away at speed then using transference of weight from front to rear wheels, steering and gear change turns the vehicle 180 degrees without changing direction of travel. Lots of fun, especially when someone else is paying the bill:hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
