HoneySuckleDreams Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I went home for the weekend, first time this year, and had No1 son drive me around for a bit.Apart from one give way junction he sailed thru "but I can see the lights of any cars coming!" ... I was nicely suprised. ( I pointed out that there could have been a cyclist/scooter etc, which did sink in I think). He did drive a lot slower than me and i asked him why so slow, and he pointed out all the 50kmh signs...which made me feel rather stupid!His instructor also thought that it was a really good idea that he got to drive both right and left hand drive cars. It makes him think more of what is going-on on the road. There are differences in the way they are taught, but not enough I feel to make me not want to get in the car with him. I was rather proud of him actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
