A new driver’s experience taking the Nissan NV200 out on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is RobYn, and I’m a new driver. You may know me as the Member Services Coordinator for Peg City Car Co-op. (Hello!) I grew up without a family car, got my beginner’s license at sixteen, and just never pursued the real deal. When I started working at Peg City, I had to learn how to drive, so … I did! Getting behind the wheel of different vehicles has been an exciting challenge for me, and I wanted to share my experience with driving our Nissan NV200 cargo van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cargo van is a spacious two-seater, with lots of room in the back for moving boxes, loading up bikes to take out of town, bringing plants and soil home from the garden centre; our members use the cargo van for all sorts of trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s a scenario I encounter every so often: a member books the van, not realizing exactly what kind of vehicle it is. I can absolutely switch a member over to a smaller vehicle – BUT – after driving this van myself, with only one year of driving under my belt, I want to say, “Don’t fear the cargo van.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
