Share Your First Driving Experience by SpicyMimi(f): 1:26pm On Apr 15, 2017 |
Good day house, ...so I have just started learning how to drive....today should make my 4th driving lesson and I must say, its been fun and hummmmmmhummmmmm I used to think driving was so easy, with the way the drivers and danfo drivers especially drive on the road without even concentrating. I finally got to sit behind the steering and realized driving needs full concentration. I decided to go for manual class, because I heard it is the best and one would be able to drive Auto with manual experience. Challenges: 1. The steering; Oh mehnnn....its so easy to loose control of the steering and also so easy to concentrate. Biko, how come our danfo drivers don't concentrate and even look back to collect money as conductor from passengers? 2. Gear: Manual car ehnnnn....na wire! To change gear, you have to depress your clutch pedal, change the gear to 1, Neutral, 2....etc oh boy! 3. Brake; The fact that you have to depress the clutch before depressing the brake is stressful....then sometimes I forget the clutch isn't brake, I almost forget the brake pedal exists until I have passed where I'm supposed to stop. Kai 4. Being on the road: Seeing yourself in the middle of the road, controlling the steering, making sure you don't collide with other cars....toh So please drivers in the house, share your experience and encourage we the up coming drivers. And please how long did it take you to drive smoothly and with full confidence? What are the things one need to know apart from what we learners are being taught in the driving school? Thank you. 10 Likes |

I still remember year 2011, I went to one driving school and my instructor was a typically taxi driver I know from my area. I can't forget his shouts of Match Clutch! Change gear! I entered the main road that same day. 9 Likes 1 Share |

My first 'real' driving experience was in 2004 when i used my mothers 406 to visit one babe, for the over 10km journey i didnt go pass 'gear 3' or turn on the car stereo because of the tension and fear that it will make me crash the car. 7 Likes |

Driving isn't as easy as it seems. I hated the experience I had. It's very easy to lose control when turning at roundabouts. I hated and still hate roundabouts and left turns. It's hard to maintain the same speed. Every time I think of driving, I remember the number of times I scratched the car when turning and I get discouraged. I also remember my instructor yelling at me when I made mistakes, which didn't help my confidence at all. Can't blame the guy though, he cannot let one student come and kill him on top small salary he's receiving. 2 Likes |
