I taught my 16 year old how to drive a clutch and shift in my car. Yes there were some moments of regret but I was always in the passenger seat. Hey it's only a clutch. They can be fixed.

One day coming home from a drive with him at the wheel we are stopped at a red light and this crotch rocket pulls up next to us. I jokingly said something like your not going to let him get ahead of us are you? Holy crap when the light turned green my son took off after that bike and scared the crap out of me.

There is a great picture of him driving us through the snake at Mulholland in Colin Comers latest book , Shelby Cobra Fifty Years. Bottom line is I would like to be passenger to supervise. Good luck!

John
