Twelve year-olds can’t even make a bed. Why we would trust them behind the wheel beats me:
The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport has developed a pilot program designed to teach children to drive properly before having potentially damaging lessons with a well-meaning parent.
The two-hour course for students aged 12 to 18 includes classroom instruction on road safety, driver attitude and an off-road driving lesson.
CAMS president Andrew Papadopoulos said the course aimed to reduce Australia’s road toll, especially among young adult males.
Mr Papadopoulos wants the pilot rolled out at schools across the state.
“We do sex education from an early age, we don’t expect them to go out and have sex at that early age,” he said.
“It’s a matter of learning.”
Kids already drive at school – they drive their teachers crazy!
