Many guys on this thread are 'feeling like' experts who learnt how to drive in a day.
If you had to watch a video of your learning experience, I'm sure you'll realise that Rome wasn't built in a day.

I taught my wife how to drive. It was a wonderful experience. Op, please be patient with her. The memories of.time spentt together would last for long.

I actually taught myself but due to my license processing I had to go to a driving school...

MallamYahaya:



Five years ago I attempted to teach my wife how to drive. We ended up quarreling after or during every session. Please get a friend to help out or send her to a driving school.

Oh she's starting with a professional driving school on Friday.

Nope, i havn't. What will happen if i had done dat bcoz dat is a good question.

15 minutes later we have both decided that it's probably better for our marriage to have a neutral party be the teacher

My life flashed before my eyes like 10 times.

So how did your Spouses learn how to drive?

As a Teacher in a driving school or don't you know is dangerous?

prettiest1:
So eager to learn but not married yet. My mr. Right, what are you still waiting for na?

Lol

But you know you don't necessarily have to wait for Mr.Right to come teach you

You could just go to a driving school and learn by yourself.. If Mr.Right meets you as an already experienced driver, wouldn't that be a "turn on"?

All those that taught their spouse how to drive without going to Driving School contributes to senseless, armature driving and accidents on our roads. Most ladies that learnt driving from their spouse and other family members don't know road signs and basic traffic rules. These to some extent contributes to traffic grid lock on our roads.

Please encourage people to go to FRSC approved Driving School before you can start teaching them with your car.

Up till now I can't drive, the first time I tried it, I don't know what I pressed the car started moving at a great speed, I just took my hands off the wheel (person wey dey drive ooo) and was shouting "sweetheart control ds ur car" hehehehe...we later crashed into a tree...and that was the last time I touched his car...lol...been secretly taking driving lessons...I want to suprise him when he comes back.

Hubby didn't teach me,his cousin did.Once hubby was in the car while I was driving,you need to see the way he screamed at me,I nearly hit the gate.Most Men are really impatient teaching thier partners how to drive.

.

I'm not married yet..but when I do get married, nothing would make me and my wife sit in the same car, with me as her driving instructor.... There's no point going through such AVOIDABLE stress, tension, quarrels, disses and the likes of such.


Even if going to a driving school suddenly becomes 500k per 3weeks...I don't mind saving the money for that purpose.

There are so many other more important things to be tensed and stressed about,teaching my wife how to drive shouldn't be one of them.

I agree with you. Lots of funny posts. However, most guys need to register for courses in anger management.

My mom learnt how to drive before I was born. She doesn't drive often but when she does drive, i dey fear. She can't relax even when you are driving her, always complaining. Watch out for that! A keke is comimg out of that street! Take it easy! Hope you are seeing those children by the road! Ah ah! Complaint too much

What is dangerous?

Where I live, you take an exam first and after successfully passing the exam you are given a learners permit.

Then you are ready to take on the road driving lessons. It's pretty much standard process.

I've taught many people how to drive before (relatives, friends, etc), the only difference here is that this is the first time that I am teaching a Spouse.

This thread is not about danger (life is a series of avoiding and surviving dangerous scenarios) this is about the emotional/relationship difficulties that occur when one is teaching a Spouse how to drive.

It is not meant to be a demeaning write up, my Wife as well as others Spouses on here are very smart individual and wouldn't place themselves in a dangerous situation. There's just something that happens to couples when they try to teach each other driving.

AmenJoan:
Hubby taught me to drive and I learned in about a week because I was determined to learn fast. He was very patient and madep an excellent teacher. The driving practice was even a bonding experience for us. He offered to teach me to swim some months later and I gladly obliged thinking it'll be the same experience, that will be a story for another day. But suffice it to say I wouldn't be attending that class again.

We need to hear from the other party. This is always the case

It took my brother 3weeks to learn how to drive, 3years gone and am still learning.

Hopefully When I get married hubby will be there to drive me around for now taxi's will do.
Na waoh

But its easy to pose with that cool ride!

After days of teaching and quarreling and repeated warnings, what I dreaded happened, she bashed a stationery camry which rolled downhill and crashed into a gutter. My car then moved further crashing into a pole. The camry was badly damaged while the front of my own car was finished. Having seen all I warned against, she suddenly fell silent as though dumb. The next couple of days brought on the expenses of panel beating, mechanic work and full body spraying all of which replaced the innocence of my once glittering brand new car with Nigerian local mechanic handwork. The car was never the same again! She's now driving well though

I don't have a girl friend or wife yet, but I happen to teach my mum how to drive, Daddy says he can't teach her, because she will b scared of d shouting he will b shouting on her, I made up my mind say I go teach, we enter motor, student day give instruction to d teacher, 1. If u shout on me, I go slap u, am still ur mother 2. If u vex because I didn't do something right, I go sound u. I come say who b d teacher and who b d learner, bfor I knew it, she want to give me sample of what she was saying, na so I cooperate sharp sharp, try my best, she day drive small not gud though, she don break our fence twice, u fit imagin how d nose of d motor for don b, don't make d mistake of greating her wen she is behind d wheels, if she mistakenly try answering ur greeting, na inside bush she day head to b dat.

Hehehe...

Late 2012, we got a Volkswagen Passat wagon..

We were in our final year then..and we weren't married yet..

I come dey teach my fiancée driving on campus..

Chei! E no easy o.. One time like that, she carry motor face bush..na so I shout, "match brake and clutch!!".. My baby mistook the accelerator for the brake..

Needless to say that in a split second, we found ourselves in the bush!

colossus2:
I kept shouting and stopped teaching.
Common to turn the key and start the car was an issue initially, then while accelerating you would see both hands at the base of the steering, while turning the hands would form a cross on the steering (instead of freeing one hand while the other turns it).
I gave up mehn

omg! Laughed like crazy. got tears in my eyes

So how did your Spouses learn how to drive?

mehn, i'd rather Pay for a driving school than teach her myself. I attempted to teach her once but nna mehn!, when one impatient man attempts to teach a stubborn drama queen, hmmm! Na world war 3 u wan start

CityNG:


Personally I think that in our situation my Wife is more stressed out because it was me doing the instructing. I think she would do better with an independent party.

Yes she will. Because in my case it was instructions upon instructions,corrections all d time and wit each of those my confidence reduced and my error imagine increased but when I drove alone wit him driving behind me,I was very much confident and I got to the house without any mistake. When we got home he put the learner sign for me and said I was good to go. I couldn't believe my ears

cococandy:
Hubby didn't teach me.
B.I.L taught me.
He says "I'll let you drive me the day I feel like having a car crash"
