Barely two weeks. After that I loaded passengers from Kano to Zuba and back (same day oh). If the passengers knew that I started driving two weeks ago, them for no dey sleep, especially on return journey (night)

If you board a commercial vehicle on a journey, just pray hard. The driver might just be a learner.

The confidence from "it's my own" is enough to get you going from day one. If you're driving what's not yours, that's where you make mistakes.

It takes a lot of skill park a car on a rooftop as in your sample pic cheesy

I learned to drive in a week (manual gearbox stick). I was on Jss3 holiday. Driving is 90% psychological and 10% practice

This thread reminds me of back when I was a teenager... Around 17...i had these two female friends I met at a jamb lesson... They were like 2 years younger, but became my friend cos of my younger cousin that was around their age. After my cousin left my house, they remained my friends.

One day, I was having a party at my place and invited them over. So, when they got to my house and I opened the gate for them, I asked how they got to my place, the one I was closer to said it was her sister that drove them down, and she pointed to one sky blue coloured Volvo 240 driving away...i caught sight of the girl, and I won't lie, I fell in love grin

See black and beautiful 16-17 year old girl handling a Volvo when I never sabi drive, and we're around the same age. I later became her friend and she told me her dad taught her how to drive at 13 shocked

1 day with manual car. The next day I bought my car and put L. After 1 month wen my driver licence is ready, I carry my wife and my kid go lag from Ondo..

My experience, driving in express is easier and safer than City driving

For me I think it only took one lesson on the street to learn to drive.

My friend owns a car and he drives us to work. I always sit in front with him everyday and I watch him drive.

When it was time for me to buy my own car, before it arrived I was nervous so first thing I did was to go on YouTube to learn how to drive, HelpfulDY channel was really helpful, I watched a lot of videos and also video of a young boy and her siblings that took their parent's car on the high way for the first time, it boosted my moral, next I went on play store and download Dr. Driving game (as seen in the picture)... Mehnnn that game really helped me ooooo.

When my car arrived, I begged my friend to put me through and he just showed me how to move front and backwards (I was already used to it in the game) it took 30mins and he went back home but I stayed on the road for more than 5hrs practicing, on the empty road because it was on a Sunday. I practice even parking and reversing and when I was satisfied, I drove home.


I bought the car for hire purchase so I gave it to my driver to continue and I pleaded with my friend to allow me his keys to practice. So in the money while he is sleeping I will take his car, wash it and after that I will practice round with it, I did that for 2wks and on two occasions went to highway.

One month after my driver wanted to run with my car because he wasn't picking my calls and wasn't delivering, I have a tracker installed so I turned off the ignition and took bolt with a friend to where he was at lakowe, collected my keys and for the first time I drove for long, all the way from lakowe to Okoko. Then the next day I drove from Okoko to sango ota to see a friend..... Since then it's been history

@nlfpmod

I would say four days! But I can actually say four hours.

The first day I used one hour lesson to learn how to start , stop and change gears depending on speed (it was a manual car)

The second day I used less than an hour to learn how to start and stop on a steep hill - by balancing the clutch with the accelerator and breaks ( remember it was a manual car, for those m of you who learnt with or who only know automatic cars.

The third day I used another hour or less to learn how to reverse on a straight road and into bends on my right and on my left.

The fourth day, I took the car keys and went on the road all by myself to gain my confidence , and I have been driving ever since.

I think one can learn how to drive in a day. Just break it down into four lessons of one hour each- with breaks in between.

The real learning is when you actually get on the road with other road users - including pedestrians.

I never used a Learners sign but it is advisable that learners do.

Good luck!

Never learn, I got better with it.

Driving is like teaching, the more you teach, the better you are at delivery
