Started stealing at age 16 but withing the street tinz. By 17 took by 2 siblings to church on a major highway with my heart pounding like a pestle and mortar. Iwas scared shitless while coming back cos it was late, I picked my grandma, and my 3 siblings with a pregnant aunt The whole six of us drove back ccos everyone was yelling an advice or the other especially whenever a trailer was approaching. That night when my mum came back she screamed and shouted when my granny spilled the secret and called my Dad telling him that I wanted to kill my 3 siblings and her mother alongside our pregnant aunt. It was a serious night but since then I got my freedom. By the Time I got back to school I became one of the major drivers of my fellowships numerous long buses. |

Started at 15, unlike my mates who started by sneak-driving, my father practically forced me to learn it as it was obvious i was disinterested. Took me 12 years...still not perfect coz driving is about consistency. As a learner, after learning a stage I could go months before getting back on the steering. Infact one of my D.License for 3 yrs got expired without setting hands on a steering. Meanwhile its manual transmission...the hard brands...Volkswagen. Volvo, old regular Mercedes Just got my hands on autofor the first tym lastmonth....menh its damn too easy, its wah dey call 'teach yourself' kind of thing. |

At age 5,it was on a very high hill,dad just showed me the accelerator,the clutch,brakes(hand and foot),gear stick.He closed the door and left,after he left,I started the car and surprisingly I was driving smoothly at 140km/hr down the hill.suddenly the car developed wings and I changed into a pilot,as I was flying the car turned plane,it plunged into a river... Then I felt a sharp pain on my right thigh,"you've wet your bed again,why won't you when all you know is to play with your dad's unused car tyre,I'll beat you today"my mum said with a bulala in her hand Ever since then,I've been an expert in driving but in my dreams. 3 Likes |

I knew the theoritical aspect of driving by 13(with an MB 200CE AMG) , started actual driving by 15(Nissan Sunny 1,6), m 17(currently driving VW Passat B5 1.8T 1998 model)now but I even drive better than adults. And I've noticed something, when I tell ppl I prefer manual to auto, dy look at me like m crazy. I'd rather be a passenger than drive an auto |

I learnt how to drive at the age of 15, both Manual and Auto. Haven't driven a manual transmission in 4 years. I doubt if I'll ever drive one - I never really got the hang of it. It took me 4 days to be perfect with the Auto. The first 2 days, I forgot to release the handbrake . By the third day, I could maneuver and park properly. The only problem I had was, I couldn't see beyond the steering (even with a pillow), so I could never tell how close my bumper is to another vehicle . With my dad's Benz, it was easier, because of the Emblem on the bonnet. |
