    I reckon the beach is the best place to learn as it's saves your drivetrain if they accidently dump the clutch

    My kids will be doing the same soon. I have had them riding motorbikes and they have both ridden my road sidecar, but the Land Rover will be next. The girl will actually be legal to drive soon, makes me feel old.

    I took my sister's two boys shooting once in my 2A wagon and let the oldest have a drive, he was about 14. After he showed no ability with the clutch, I figured it was a long way home if he broke something (600km) so that was the end of that. I hope with their experience on the bikes my kids will be a bit more mechanically sympathetic.

    I understand your concerns BigJon, so just to clarify the situation - the beach was deserted, we ALWAYS wear seatbelts ( you cant see it there though), top speed was a dissy 50kph and while the camera was on my daughter I was checking front and back.

    If I cop a fine, so be it.

    I only have 3rd Party Property insurance so any damage to the County is coming out of my pocket anyway.

    After that video, we practiced "slow down and stop" and "stop NOW"

    Now she's at the stage of riding my DR350 trailbike ( private land only )

    Just to clarify, your third party property insurance would be null and void if your unlicenced daughter was driving and damaged something else (another vehicle for example). I am sure that you were both acting in a safe manner though. Like I said, I was making observations rather than trying to lecture .
