He'll mind the road, because it handles like a boat...and that's not a bad thing. Too many kids lack driving experience and have a false sense of confidence because the newer cars do the thinking for them (ABS, backup sensors, etc.)
I purposely took mine out on snow covered parking lot in a rear wheel drive...or on wet roads in a 5spd with no ABS, a car without power steering, etc. (all with me in the passenger seat) so they could 'feel' how a car reacts. I learned to drive on my uncles farm(at 13!) in similar conditions back in the 70s and firmly believe it made me a much better driver when I took to the main roads of America.
If anything, he will drive slower...as to be seen and appreciated, in such a unique ride.
