Teenage driving contest

The Nelson section of the teenage driving contest, run now on a national basis by Jaycee, was held at the airport recently. A tricky course, with sufficient snags to make even the most experienced adult driver blanch, tested the contestants' skill to the utmost. To ensure that all had the same opportunity to give of their best, only one make of car was used.
