Gariboldi Honda rider, who turned 18 this year is not busy only with preparations for the 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship season. Gajser also took a time for driving lessons, which was a special gift from AMZS – Slovenian Motorcycle Federation and its assisting corporation that is the best and the most reliable driving school in Slovenia.

Tim successfully passed the driving test a few days ago. “I can finally drive a car by myself. This will make my life easier. I would like to thank to the AMZS for that opportunity,” said Gajser. He has promised that he will be a responsible driver.
