I have met your kid when he was driving that car and he seemed to have a great understanding of it. I thought that he was a bit young to be driving it but he was acting very mature about it.Him and his friend brought my some tires to my camp from Dunedoc and they where driving a Rhino then. They drove in slow and out slow so I don't see aproblem with responsble kids driving. I think it is awsome that he is getting this experience early in life.
