Bindi Irwin receives offers from car companies after getting her licence

After making it publicly known that she is now a legitimate driver, Bindi Irwin has been reportedly flooded with offers from auto companies to drive their cars.

The 17-year-old Australian actress and conservationist shared in Instagram last week that she got her driver’s licence, after passing her practical driving test. Captioning a photo of herself holding up her new “P” plate, the wrote, “Thank you so much to Constable Joshua Little and Queensland Police for testing me today and giving me my license.”

Bindi took the test aboard the utility vehicle exam previously used by her father, Steve Irwin. In her Instagram post, which has now reached more than 70,000 likes, she added, “It was wonderful to take my test in St George and pass the first time and in my Dad's giant old ute!"

Her mother, Terri Irwin, also posted a photo of Bindi aboard Steve’s white vehicle on her Twitter account. Bindi's mother captioned it, “@BindiIrwin successfully passed her driving test in her dad’s old ute. I know Steve would be so proud.”

The car companies reportedly did not waste any time reaching out to the “Dancing With the Stars” or "DWTS" Season 21 winner to present to her their respective vehicles for free. Among those who are making a bid for Bindi’s new wheels is Grand Prix Mazda, according to a report by the Daily Telegraph.

Australian car company Holden, on the other hand, expressed that they would love to have Bindi behind the wheel of one of their cars. “Everyone knows and loves Bindi and of course we would love to see her in a Holden — maybe an Astra, Spark or Trax which are perfect for young drivers,” a company spokesperson said, according to the Daily Telegraph.

It seems that the latest development in Bindi’s life has everyone talking, despite some criticisms in social media. Amid numerous media reports about Bindi’s licence, Facebook and Twitter users slammed the attention, claiming that there are far more important topics that should be reported on.
