Default Private Driving Spots

Alright, Voxace (David) is coming up to the Gold Coast for a week or so on monday, and as some of you may know, i don't have my L's or P's or anything. So we're just looking for somewhere private that i can have a drive. Won't get up to any mischieve just wanna get the chance of having a drive. Problem being i live in the city so i don't know of really any places and its not like i have a paddock to run free in. Lol, so does anybody know of anyplaces on the coast like this? A bit of a weird request, yes i know but oh well

Cheers :

I reckon it's good to get in early and have some experience in a car before actually getting your L's and sharing the road with everybody else.
So yeah I'll give him the keys if we can find somewhere nice and quite to drive.
I used to drive on farms and ИИИИ from about the age of 13 so it was good practice, and good fun too!

goto a CARPARK that is quiet.. get some L plates anyway and put them on as to not look suspicious to security etc

gives you lots of open space and also lots of corners and stuff if you want them

i used to go to the local national park.....quite roads, 10-20km/h speed limits. perfect.
i recommend it highly, particularly one with big carparks if possible. u can get all the practice u need before u hit the main roads.

Just go for a country drive (mum or dad driving) and then get to the middle of nowhere and jump in the drivers seat. F*** all chance of getting caught, and even then, country cops are very leniant, esp. if your getting your experiance up and not doing anything stupid. Still, chuck the L's on.

Not good advice, especially on this public forum. DO NOT drive on any PUBLIC road.
