Who Taught You How To Drive? Was The Person Strict by XLR8(m): 2:11pm On Nov 29, 2013
smiley Well my mom taught me how to drive. She was reluctant to teach me at first but i stayed on her neck (literally) grin
When we started with the field training, she was quite pleased with my driving. She started becoming strict and stern when we got to the street part and till now I can still picture her annoyed face grin..
I had a tough time with the gear changing ish but now i can even drive a car inside water

No one taught me how to drive. I simply watched my parents when they drove, and applied the same technique when I was able to get access to the keys.

I then refined my driving style in time.

Wrong assumption, borne out of the fact guys like you find it difficult to grasp basics of driving a manual, and have conditioned yourselves to believe "I will never master using the clutch." So you assume (erroneously) that everyone else is like you. If you follow my posts, you'll realise I don't like automatics, I'm an enthusiastic driver, and manuals are my favourites.

Besides 30-odd years ago, automatics were not all the rage in Nigeria, I started my driving with dad's Volkswagen Brasilia (Igala) which was never available as an automatic.

No one taught me how to drive,I always observed how people drive whenever I find myself in a car and paid close attention to everything they were doing.
Bought my first car,a Mazda 626 manual gear then put all I learned into practice and that was it.

I learnt driving from a video simulation on a PC with a steering wheel, clutch, brake and accelerator pedals. The only difference was that I made changes to gear from the keyboard.

My adopted brother and he wasn't strict, probably because I understood the mechanism of how car works and I was very enthusiastic, in 3days I started driving on my street.

I didn't have any formal driving lessons, just watched other people drive and practice it with the spare car when everybody leaves the house. Now I can drive from Enugu-ph without much stress
