Was (still am) a petrolhead - tractors were the first thing I was allowed to drive
I did buy my first car when I was 14 though, although my parents sold it 4 months later when they finally found out I had bought it & was driving myself around (including to school).

you're lucky you didn't get stopped by the police
or hit anyone.

I only drove locally on rural roads, the car was roadworthy and I didn't tear around like a boy racer.

doesn't make it ok
All the lads in the pub used to drink drive on the local roads because there weren't any coppers.

I didn't drink & drive. I'm not condoning what I did either.

sorry I shouldn't be so grumpy
I have to deal with people at work who break motoring laws all the time so it annoys me more than it should.
