She was merely 14 but her friend said, “Do you want to learn?”
Which adventurous 14 year old wouldn’t have said YES!!
John was a regular in the family and ever since her stepbrother flew in from Berkeley, he was tasked with Grandma’s little plum coloured Daihatsu Charade to drive them around. John had a license. His father was a Minister so who knows if his license was valid but he was definitely a seasoned driver and her mother trusted him.
They would have their driving lessons, the three of them ‘kids’ at the local golf club as car traffic was minimal yet sufficient roads to play around with a real car. Wheeeeeee!!!
Those days, automatic cars did not exist. As she gained confidence in handling the car, John took her out onto the big road. Within weeks, she was a pro!
The downfall came when she decided to drive herself to the nightclubs instead of taking a taxi which cost money and as a student, money is always a challenge. All her friends were going to nightclubs. All wanting to grow into adults before their time came. Make up, high heels, dressing up, it was all exciting to attract attention from others. What her parents didn’t know was that she was rolling out the cars past midnight without their engines on, then rolling them downhill only to start it after the car was a good distance away from home.
A night stint driving out to party with friends lasted several hours and she would responsibly drive back uphill and stop the car, walk down to open the gate, then silently roll the car back into the garage. Smooth.
If only she knew the potential dangers of an underaged teenager driving around the city past midnight then. She could have been stopped by the cops for illegal driving, followed by thugs and robbed, or worse, mugged and taken away! Her very own friend from the same local Club drove to his death at the mere age of 10. So you can imagine……
An angel would have been following her for months and years because she did this for exactly 3 years regularly before getting a real driving license to her name.
She passed her driving test and studied for it and now was free to drive her Dad’s Volvo with full permission.
