My son's Driving practice, is it a little too early?

Question

My son is 13 years old. He and i love cars. Since we also love exotic animals we love exotic cars, so i bought a Lamborghini Murcielago gt in 2006, and a ferrari 360 spider. He knows how to paddle shift, because i have driving simulators and he understands how to drive an all aspects of the car. He could park the cars for me, you know easy stuff. I have a big property.... and my drive way is huge length and width, so theres really nothing to worry about crashin into and he turns tightly anyway. I was thinking of taking him into a big empty parking lot, out of the main public, and setting up cones for him to practice driving around. I of course would be in the passenger seat with him. Do you think this is okay or am i being an irresponsible parent???

Answer 1

if u want 2 take him 2 a big empty parking lot, out of the main public, and set up cones and such for him.. i think that is very good preparation for ur son! just dont let him drive in the main streets until he has his permit, then he can drive with u whenever u 2 want!

Answer 2

A - it would be illegal for a 13 year old to drive in a parking lot unless such parking lot is on your private property.
B - you don't own those cars anyway, so it is a moot question

You forget we can look at your profile and see your questions about your snakes, and guinea pigs, your science project, etc.

So did your mom ever let you get your other ball python?

Answer 3

As long as you are doing it on private property and don't allow him to drive unsupervised, I see no problem with it.

I learned how to drive at 10. Different circumstances, as I lived in a very rural area and worked on farms.
