Youngest daughter started to learn to drive this month. Self and instructor both agree practice in Mrs F's car will help a great deal.
With eldest daughter 2yrs ago I accepted in the early weeks/months there was just a chance of a low speed bump due to her inexperience and the fact I couldn't bring the car to a halt due to a lack of dual controls.
Sadly on a rare occasion Mrs F was supervising just such a bump happened. Not F junior's fault as such unless you count the fact that she just didn't have the experience to counter a dreadful bit of driving next to her on a roundabout which resulted in her being cut up and contact between the cars.
Had I been supervising with dual controls I would have stopped the contact.
So mindful of the high ongoing costs to us from that accident I'm wondering about fitting dual controls to Mrs F's Polo until youngest F has a good amount of lessons behind her.
Any thoughts?
