Its a great driving road with no other traffic but you come across HGVs, caravans, tractors etc. Hope you can get him into 4 wheels Nixy.
My son has written off two cars, first time he ended un unconscious down an embankment, second time was a driver on the wrong side of the road, head on. He is now a much more careful driver, just nuts with horses
Hes fine Nixy, and hopefully so are his friends. All part of the bad side of parenting.
