lucky she...here, you have to be 18! to get a license...stupid country

[Beccaroo]

15 an a half?!! Thats mad!! You have to be 17 here before you can even start learning! Blimey!

[Holly Golightly]

Well, I'm the classic farm-girl... I think that I actually learnt to drive a truck/car at about 8-9 yrs old!!!

[azn wizard]

wow pretty cool...
could u even fit when u were eight? just curious..

[Holly Golightly]

I learnt to drive in a land-cruiser truck... and fortunately I have long legs, otherwise I wouldnt' have been able to reach the peddles!!!

[Mistress Siana]

If you allowed anyone under 18 to drive here, you may even lose your license. And the one who drives won't get the permission to drive for two more years! God, I wish I was Australian!!

[Holly Golightly]

hrmm, this isn't on the road you realise... just around the headlands of cane paddocks... it's private property, you can do whatever you like!!!

I certainly wasn't driving on the road at age 8!!!

*well, not much anyways!!!*

[azn wizard]

still, drivin at eight'z pretty cool...

[Holly Golightly]

Thanks azn!!!

But the really cool part is that I get to say that I've been driving for almost 15yrs now!!! (14 to be exact!!!)

When i was quite little, probably about 9 or 10 i used to sit on my dads lap and steer while he was doing all the complicated peddle bits.

We only went around and around the garden and on my grandparents farm because it would've been too illegal and dangerous to set me loose on the roads!

It all stopped when i accidentally steered into the washing line, got the car tangled up and snapped the line. I think my parents were a bit angry after that...

When i was quite little, probably about 9 or 10 i used to sit on my dads lap and steer while he was doing all the complicated peddle bits.

Lol, I did the exact same thing. Except for a minor incident involving a mailbox, it wasn't so bad! And my cousin used to do that with my uncle, except he had the lovely habit of forgetting which was the brake pedal once he got into the driveway. They paid for quite a few repairs on their garage..

[Cougie]

I don't fancy driving. I got my learner's half a year ago. Still haven't touched the steering wheel yet. Why drive when I can ride?

Still, driving at 8 or 9 is pretty cool. You probably have one single police taking care of 6 or 7 towns in your area right Holly? Not like Sydney.

[Holly Golightly]

Cougarman: No, it's juust a very small town where i come from... I think that there are two or three policemen, just a small small town!!!

Becca and Blaise: I remember doing that too, on tractors!!!I I used to hold the wheel ont he straight parts,and dad used to turn the corners!!! *which is good because all our paddocks have deep ditches or creeks on the edges! *
I think that I was about 5 or 6 when I was doing that though! I was such a little farm girl! *tee-hee-hee!*

I think that I could change a tyre before most people could drive!!!

[Neo]

That good Holly, girls that can change their own tires.

[han lin]

i can change tires, coz my mum's old car used to attract punctures like a magnet.i can not drive though have 2 wait a whole year befor i can even learn

i don't have any private property places where i could drive.
