At what age do you think is the best to teach your child how to drive?
Re: At What Age Is the Best To Learn Driving? by nurey(m): 7:28pm On Apr 17, 2017
Girls are lazy but not daring so you can teach them at around 12years,just the basics as the children of nowadays are too smart for my liking and they grow up fast.

As for a male, I would say let him start learning in virtual world from PC and consoles by 15,you can decide to put him on the road and show him the real deal, male aren't lazy when it comes to cars, if you teach him too early he will one day be too daring and decide to carry out the practical alone, the result is a wrecked car or worst still loss of life. If you teach him by 15 at least he will be daring enough by 17 which I think is mature enough for him to know when not to take things too far

Ignore that onisokuso above me grin.

It's ideal to learn when one has the zeal and/or is young. Late teens- early twenties is perfect; the brain picks up things faster ,you can make mistakes and get over them without feeling unnecessarily embarrassed...

Most times, it's more about the zeal than the age.
Male teens/youths tend to have this zeal more, probably because it spells some kind of freedom or initiation into "manhood" for them.

You can start learning when you realise that the 'hazard light' is not actually 'double trafficator' as people insinuate... cheesy cheesy

Once your hands can grab the steering wheel, your legs can touch the pedals and your eyes can see the road ahead ... Then You are eligible to learn how to drive.

16. My dad handed me a car key at 16 just immediately after I finished secondary school, and had someone teaching me how to drive. I think it's same for most people.
