Yes, I did.
If so, in avoiding the basic errors I, for example, made when a youth, on motorcycles and in cars.
I don't ever intend on getting on a motorcycle, so no concerns there.
What kind of basic errors, may I ask?
Probably others old here did the same but, back then the penalties were much less severe than now, both legal and financial.
Remember, you'll be sort of on probation for the first two years.
I am aware of that.
It'll help you to temper your youthful enthusiasm, which I can easily understand, been there, done that and, perhaps, put an old head on young shoulders.
My family moan about my head being far too old for my shoulders, I can't see how it's better to make my head even older
But yeah, I'm (I hope) very much in control of my decisions and completely aware of my weaknesses, such as having a very impulsive side to me which will certainly need to be kept at bay whilst in front of the wheel. I'm also aware of my short temper and my ability to find fault in just about anything if I don't like it, which won't help me in situations where I have to accommodate someone's misjudgement or something.
There's a subtlety in this AD stuff which is hard to convey via this medium.
Indeed, text is an excellent way of communicating facts, but it's useless for communicating emotion.
You looked at that 'site I linked?
I did indeed. I have to admit, competitive driving is probably not for me, as I'm genuinely not interested in speed, at all. I'm much more about getting the most well executed, and smooth drive possible (of course, keeping to the speed limits as I hate being held up, and wouldn't want to inflict that pain upon others), which might be a big deciding factor in the types of cars I'm interested in, such as the Range Rover, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, (And certainly the Citroen C6
) and the like.
Comfort is the priority for me, speed is just a bonus.
EDIT: After reading through my replies, I've realised they probably would come across as being rather short out of annoyance. They're not, they're merely short because I'm tired but am unable to sleep
