[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sign her up for racing school. [/quote] This might seem crazy but I think kids can learn a lot of intuitive skills from a good go kart track. Like when to speed up and slow down going around a turn. And how to pass. Biking on a crowded biking trail also helps.[/quote] Kids who have experience driving lawn tractors, golf carts, and go-carts turn out to be better drivers. It's a fact.[/quote] Agree with the two PPs. Until kids actually operate something they have a hard time understanding concepts of speeding up and slowing down. In fact, when I have a kid in the car for a first drive, one of the first issues we re-discuss is that there are two ways to slow down - by using the brake ~and by taking your foot off of the gas. Kids who have ridden bikes or driven golf carts or go-karts or lawn tractors understand this. Kids who have only 'driven' cars on the tv or computer screen don't get it.[/quote]
