13 yr driver!

Drove home every afternoon from the bus stop when I was that age. As a parent now can sympathise with the nagging that I gave my parents to let me drive. Sounds like a similar situation, rural road with little traffic and unlucky enough to have a copper drive by.
Reminds me of the time I was riding my DT175 with my safety Akubra down the road to the river and a Highway patrol car drove by. Luckily for me they were satisfied enough with the look of sheer terror on my face and just waved and drove on. We were about 10km down a back road from the highway and that was the only time I ever saw a police car on that road.

Regards,

Many years ago, a cousin of mine fronted up to the Yanco police station to apply for a driving licence on her 17th birthday (before P-plates). The sergeant was astounded - "I thought you already had a licence - I've seen you driving round for the last five years!" He wrote out a licence on the spot without even pretending to test her.

I used to drive my grandfather's Ford 300 Custom in Calamvale (Brissie) to get fuelled up when I was 13. I bought my first car when I was 12 and used to drive it to my mate's place up along Beaudesert Rd in Calamvale.

My cousin and I drove my unregistered '38 Vauxhall from Brisbane (Calamvale) to Sydney (St Marys) when I was 16 (and unlicenced). We went the back way, Cunninghams Gap to Armidale then down the New England Hwy and Putty Rd (all to avoid the cops).

Expect a knock at the door, Ron. There is no statute of limitations, for criminal offences, in this country. :coplight:

No dates.

On or about....[bigwhistle]

I was a minor. I'd have to go to juvenile court

Throw the book at these people . Admitting criminal behaviour, law and order is stuffed.

A minor detail. At least you weren't a minor in a Minor. [bigsmile1]
