I started driving codedly at the age of 16. My mom was aware but my dad did not know. One fateful day, he caught me driving in our street. The fear of him catching me driving got into me that I started fumbling. He was so upset that he got home very angry and started shouting on my mom and I. Later that evening, he could me aside and started advising me. He said he had no problem with me driving but since my hand wasn't strong, I should not drive on the street that I could easily hit someone or run into some buildings. That was the green light for me. At 17 I drove from Warri to Ekpoma, Edo state and from Warri to Port Harcourt. I did not even wait till 18 before I got my Licence. When I was learning, I never used the L symbol lol |

Started at age 15,was home on holidays,was bored with movies and video games,saw my mom's car and decided to actualise what I av bin practicing during early morning warming,d first movement was a reverse,out of d garage, a few meters(like 15m) then back into it,my leg was shaking all over when I came out,I was actually frightened,my mom saw me and smiled and said be careful,but I wasn't allowed to drive out by myself until I was 16,it was my mom's car,so each she was goin out,I offered to go with her,just to have a chance to drive,I drove till we got to a quite busy road,then she took over,this continued till i got a break,d house was busy,mom was prepping for dad's hosting his town's people on a sunday,so I was asked if I could take my sisters to church,I was happy,it was quite a distance,but gets less busy and chaotic on sunday,on my way back,I picked up a woman who thought I was a pro,nearly ran into a taxi on d way back,d woman alighted not long after,from there,I was allowed to be goin to some places myself,by 18,I was driving alone myself,my dad got me by learners permit,after three issues,I got my driver's license at 20,was very happy,I had been driving well since I was 17 though,it took a while to gain my parent's confidence,whenever I drove my dad,he will say,don't pass 40km/h,mom will say,don't ever get to 60km/hr,but with time,they loosened up,I av bin driving now,for 9 years,haven't got my car,currently driving a hand-me down from my dad,working towards getting my first car....yet,I daresay,I get better each time,compared to my driving last year,I av gotten better,u can never be a whole driver,u get better by experience...experience makes good drivers not turning the steering and working the pedals.. 1 Like |

At 17, I started driving; but got perfect when I was 18 with the help of my mum's driver! Personally, I feel it's better to learn how to drive when you're younger! |

babyosisi: Mine is pathetic There is nothing pathetic about that. You had a poor background and you shouldn't be ashamed to state that afterall it wasn't your fault. ("Nigeria is a useless country"... Atleast you are now a babymama in "amelika", showing us what you eat, drink, TV, roads, hospital, your @OP,the first time I drove a car....... I crashed into a fence at Ajao Estate in Lagos, close to CHI Ltd. We had to fix the company fence and the car. I was 19 yrs old. Thank God for the gift of life. Driving is classical conditioning, practice it for sometime and you don't have to think about it afterwards. It becomes part of you. Today if there's a road from US to Nigeria, I will hit the road. 1 Like |

Chynx: I started driving at the age of 13. My Dad owned a scrap Peugeot 404 truck which was obviously a Manually transmitted vehicle. My elder brother (who was 15 at that time) and I, used to start the truck by joining two wires together because the key ignition system was bad and my Dad had it hotwired. (Money no dey to buy new ignition). We use the handle of a spoon or any flat metal to release the steering lock, by turning on the ignition first before joining the wires. The truck was always at home, while Dad and Mum were away at work. The family only took it to the farm on Saturdays. That gave room for plenty of time to practice what we watch Daddy do.farufaru sokoto. U got me nostalgic. I also served in sokoto 1 Like |

I learned how to drive at 17 & seriously no one but my curiosity taught me. I had sternly watched people drive earlier. My uncle's family-friend parked their car in their house while they travelled & i went to spend the after-WAEC holiday there. When they go out, i'd reverse the car out of the gate(i still wonder how i did that successfully severally with a manual) and drive round the estate. It wasn't long before they found out & i was heavyly scolded, but by then i was already driving well. My parents got a carina -e some months later & instantly, i started driving to ibadan, ibafo etc Really it took me just minutes to learn to drive a manual. |

Atmmachine: I started driving at age 13Really, what does driving abroad entail that makes people fail the tests over & over? Do they fly with cars? Or is it mastery of road signs? I strongly believe i can drive easily anywhere on earth. You may correct me. 1 Like |
