8yrs u re so dull oooo n if is ur child now u will b telling dem dat it took u just a day to learn it

Really?? Maybe not. I can relate with that guy. Maybe u should rephrase ur question to how long after learning did u start driving. Has nothing to do with dullness.

Sienna it was automatic, I mastered real quick but I didn't know how to drive manual cos we didn't have manual cars in our aus until one of my neighbors bought on mazada 323 car, the first day I drove d manual my leg was shaking on the turtle, the car just dey die for road cos I dey quick comot leg for turtle, but later few days later I turn to master, I no Bleep up d first day wey I enta express. Mazda cars are underrated in Nigeria it's a fucking good car, if I ent express with the car Omo I dey fire, camry sef dey pursue me e no dey catch, I learnt mechanic for like thre months just because I wan sabi drive manual our neighbour wey get d car na meco, Kazzem

[quote author=julietm123 post=59520582]I have this phobia for driving especially on Nigerian roads. I didn't learn so quick but using automatic gear made it easy for me. My problem now is am scared of driving on Nigerians roads. It's so sad for me. Can't go to most places on my own. [/quo


Yea. Had similar issue. I was driving in Abuja but when I go to ph it was a different ball game entirely. I had to abandon the steering for my boys after my car was bashed.

I was a GTA freak. My uncle took my dad and I to learn driving.
Well, I took the keys of the Subaru Legacy and drove the 4wd manual without any fuss. This was the first time I drove a real car... They asked me where I learnt, I told them I learn by observing people drive , then I learnt steering a car right by playing GTA and reading about cars and how they function online.
But the most important factor is God who blessed me with a quick mind. That's how I learnt 14 musical instruments too.

Started driving at 16 and I am still a learner.

To come here and see people calling themselves perfect drivers is funny. What can one say though.

It took me 2 months......my aunt kept postponing the class. The excitement after the first class. cheesy

I would say a week.

1st week, I constantly had my driver on the passenger's side, giving me the no fear, dey go- push grin

2nd week; Emma didn't turn up on time and I had to leave for work so I drove.

grin Menh! That drive to work was the loooongest freaking bitter drive ever... a normal 30 mins drive took me over 1 hour grin. I was the oluku of the road that morning. Those of you familiar with Agip roundabout and ada George rd, Phc will understand grin. At these junctions; I stopped for everything to pass( buses, taxis, keke, wheel barrow, bicycle, people). I can't even remember how many times the thought of just parking that car along the rd and going my way crossed my mind. Not to mention that I cursed out my driver almost every second as I drove to work that day cheesy. FEAR of the unknown.

Twas a bitter sweat experience but after that initiation grin boy! Did i become king of the road!!!! Back then, I would just get in the car nd drive to the convenience store down my house cos I was always itching to drive.. NOW! I'M SOOO TIRED OF DRIVING grin

it was in the village actually but it was a long distance in my brother car, I took his wife in and my Lil nephew to the market, I actually have been sitting close to people driving some of my friends described how it is! What made me do it was my bro wife is still young and she's already learning and here I am big ass grown man can't drive, I took the keys pretendingI can drive , hahahaha all I could hear in the back seat was screams! My mom, my brothers and sisters were all out watching me as I drove off I had to reverse first, it was an awesome day!! I felt like a boss

Hmmm bn watching dad drive coz i fancy cars alot.... So one day tld him i wanted to learn so he took me to a field nearby nd drove round nd i dd too he didn't allow me drive home coz he was fearing i wld bash d car buh he was surprised to see me drive d family to an evening service and back coz he wasn't around.... although it's an automatic.

Since then i hv bn driving even on d express never bashed d car nor anyone's.
1st day i drove manual transmission i reversed wt it nd dd that accurately although i don't lyk manual i prefer the semi- auto cars and automatic cars ...

I tink d best way to gt ur driving well is to remove fear nd be confident even.
