[Boggin]

[Boggin]

I was driving on my uncles lap up north around our land when I was way younger than 13, and cruising with my dad in the passenger seat when I was 13 or 14 and I'm only 19 now(and there are more cops there than every 4-5 weeks) sooo lets all just chill out!!! If people didn't take risks every now and then we'd all be bored as all hell.

First time I drove I was 11. My grandpa was plowed on Wild Turkey (Gobble Gobble) like usual, and needed another pack of smokes. The nearest convience store was a good 45 minute round trip. He owned a few of the roads it took to get there, but a lot were interstate highways. He had a bucket glass of turkey and a 11 year old drivin a mint Lincoln Town Car. I bet he was proud.

All you people freakin out about this.... are you gonna tell me you didn't do anything like this when you were young? (I have) If not, then, are you gonna tell me you didn't even want to? honestly.

Glad you had fun Boggin. Keep learning, make sure to pay attention all the other times when you are NOT driving, so you are keener when you get the opportunities.

X2 Everyone does something stupid when they are young. HIs g-pa OBVIOUSLY was ready for any consequences, noone that old would do that without thinking ahead or having complete trust in the person they let drive. Boggin wouldnt have lost his driving privelages for any amount of time, because he was doing what he was told. G-pa would have taken all the heat.

Point is he made it through without an accidnet and had a really good time. every parent that has the ability gives their child a shot befor they have a license. Boggin will be more comfortable when he does get on the road at 16 than the other guy who never drove till he got his permit.

thanks and since this thread is very old, ive drove that road several times in my dads f150 since that, also in my 88 ranger once

only problem i have is i stick to the shoulder a tab bit to much, still on the pavement but still to close, i guess its better than driving to close to the middle when meeting a tractor trailer

nice!!! my step dad has one of those, only diff is that the latin american version is called navara and his is 2.5 turbo diesel with a 6spd manual and 4x4 too

Wherever you look on the road is where you will drive. Keep your eyes just to the left of the black wear mark in the middle. This is where technically your driver seat would be if you were centered. Confidence with time will fix it too.

I didn't on public streets, and from a liability standpoint I don't think that is a great idea, but I had done hundreds of laps around my dad's shop in his '81 Chevy pickup while I sat in his lap and ran the steering wheel and he ran the pedals... eventually I graduated to driving the truck with my little brother riding shotgun while dad threw hay bales on the trailer behind it. All of my learning was on private property until I got my learners permit.

I had driven tractors on the street I guess, but you don't even need a license for that, and I wasn't going far (less than half a mile) They were not that big either (830 Case with a pull behind box scrapper was the biggest rig)

thanks,
and yea i was tryin to be on the safe side, like using my seat belt, driving speed limit, my signal light everywhere, my mirrors, etc. etc.

seat belt, speed limit? i was in the passenger seat of a chev 1 ton dually with a 9 year old driving 120km/hour in a 80 zone, following his dad to the farm during harvest. no seatbelts either. and guess what? we're fine. in fact his 12 year old brother drives the semi they use to haul bails! boggin, i dont suggest you drive under aged and un-insured, but its not my, nor any other member of trs's to tell you what you can or cannot do. everyones done something wrong, its life

I can't believe I missed this thread. Maybe you oughta read my thread in the Tailgate Boggin, about getting rearended by an unlicensed and unisured driver. You may think it's all fine and dandy driving, you may not have hit anyone, but wait until the day you do. You will pay dearly for it.

As for the rest of you egging him on about driving, i'd feel ashamed. Don't bitch and complain about your insurance rates, Boggin is a prime example of why. My insurance agent told me just the other day when I had to give a statement that insurance rates are rising because of more and more people driving on the roads without licenses and insurance. Completely unacceptable and irresponsible.
