Drove for the first time at 14, pops beetle. (Just within the compound tho). I learnt hw to reverse first, and turning angles was what interested me most.

Continued with my honda C75 bike (loved that bike... had it frm abt 10yrs) for another year plus. At 16 tho, became designated official house driver. It actually became a borden, frm my sisters to my mum, frm going to the market, to picking my aunts and uncles up frm the park.

First intrastate at 20, first interstate at 25. Lokoja - abuja road it was, and yrs later, I still dread that stretch of highway.

I can't drive. I tried but the day I went behind the wheels and for whatever reason, I panicked and stepped on the wrong..whatever those things under are called, I haven't tried it again and that was two years ago. undecided I have a phobia for driving, that's my nonsense.

I'll try again though because I almost had a disaster because I didn't know how to drive and I was the only one at home with when it struck, had to go banging gates.

16.
It just started like that, I av always had the zeal, and I knew I wanted to drive manual. I hate that look when u perform a stunt or speed and peeps be like 'ah, na woman, bc na automatic'
So I made sure I learnt manual and drove it for 'bout' 5yrs'

First learnt @home, I entered road and was driving like a witch, maybe bc my husband (then bf) who taught me drives like a wizard too...people started calling my parents to tell dem to beg me to drive responsibly #amebopeople#

So I went to a driving sch, dey tot dat wud make me drive responsibly, I came out worse grin

Professionally/regularly- 17
Interstate/long distance- 20
Manual, not auto please...manual gives me the speed I like...
Though last yr my hubby got me an auto car, say av been suffering myself.
Shikena
Now, I think I'm tired...av seen it all grin

englishmart: Honestly my dad thought me to drive when I was 16.
4years later he gave me a car key as a birthday present.
Honestly? Why honestly? You are a serial liar!! BTW, I started learning driving at 16 and that was immediately after my SSCE. Pupcy bought a Toyota. Corrola 'first lady' for me @ age 18 which I used to 'perfect' my driving and at age 19, when I was already in 200L at OAU, I travelled with the car from Lagos to Ife with Pupcy's driver beside me. Thereafter, driving from Ife to Lagos was no big deal. Today, I am a perfect driver.

1999 @ 17 in SSS2. Although local driving in our hometown.

Started driving in Lagos after my graduation, at 24. I remember how I used to fear driving on Third Mainland Bridge.

First interstate was in 2009, less than a year after I bought my first car, and drove Lagos-Kwara 4 hours.

Started driving at 15, got my first car at 18 in my second year of university. I started through the desire to do stunts like screeches, doughnuts and hand-brake turns to impress girls in my high school. It's hard to say how long it took to perfect my kills, but considering I was comfortable to do stunts at age 16, I'd say 2 months. .
