The smartest start.
Already have experience at 18.
Already have experience at 18.
While others are just starting out, you already have thousands of kilometers behind you. BF17 is not a compromise — it is a lead. At 18 you are no longer a beginner.
With support
Driving with a safety net.
The accompanying person is not the controller - they are the support. New terrain, unknown situations, first traffic jams: you learn them with someone you know.
