I swear, I didn't look at your name before figuring out it was you. And no; you weren't 13 or 14. You were like 11 then. I remember vividly. GAZZUZZ: Started "stealing" the car at 13 or 14 did my first legal country crossing (lagos to jos) at 21 still was not perfect probably lucky |

Was steal driving at 14, knocked a cyclist down at a roundabout. Spent a couple of hours in the police cell. Then got my driving license at 17. That paper license is a museum piece right now. I really cherish it. I looked like one of the younger 'Jackson 5' in the passport picture. Where did my Afro hair go to ?. Time flies |

14. Stole an Uncle's car with my cousin. We were actually told to wash it, but decided to test our driving skills. We succeded in ramming the car into the wooden garage door as we were trying to park the car, but thank God there was no damage to the car or ourselves. Later at about 19, I learnt to drive well under one month. |

At 16. Our car was blocking another resident and I was the only one at home, so I just pick the keys, got into the car and reverse the damn shit. When the resident moved his car, I drove back and had a nice parking. I did it so well that nobody knew it was my first day of driving. Later on that day, I decided to push my luck too far. I needed to go impress my friends in Ikoyi. So feeling like a badoo, I picked the keys again, jump into the car and took off to Ikoyi enroute Ahmadu Bello way, then onikan, obalende, federal secreteriate, then bank road. I was lucky of have arrive Ikoyi safely but slightly crashed my friends gate. Coming back was a different story. I took on Kingsway road, Falomo, Akin Adesola. Everything was fine untill one useless driver came outa nowhere and crashed into my car. I was so furious that I wanted to create a scene. Then I remembered that I had no drivers license. Thank nothing happned to his car so I allowed him to go. I drove back home angry and with a battered car. How I faced the consequence is none of your business. Today, I thank God that nobody can lay claim to having schooled me on how to drive. 1 Like |

Started driving @ 17 with mumsi's Hyundai Getz after WAEC and burnt d clutch plate 3 times. After that I became perfect. Ain't nothing as sweet as driving a manual. That priceless feeling u get when u change to the next gear and ur car tells u "yes sir". The day I drove a car with an automatic transmission was funny cos my left leg out of reflex action was looking for the clutch pedal. My friend laughed at me that day *covers face*. still hate automatics though. Every mallam with his kettle. |

tunshe: FYI my both parents are college educated My father had a car as a young man before he ever met my mom By the time he was your age,he already had a piece of real estate All through my growing years my parents had two cars, always, and I had never lived in a rental house or apartment,didn't know what it was to be a tenant and pay rent till I got married. we had our own home right from the time I was born and dad is a landlord with rent paying tenants till this day. My father retired at the pinnacle of civil service and so did my mom in her career My parents were certainly middle class and provided well for all their children and many others they trained through college with occasional trips to London for vacation too. Today they are happily reaping the fruits of their labour with all their off springs in North America Just because we are all here posting anonymously doesn't mean all fingers are equal. You keep making stoopid remarks when I post Stop quoting me and talking nonsense,you don't know me or anything about me except what I write I don't know how you grew up but above is a summary of mine and I enjoyed my childhood thoroughly My home was that home other kids came to and stayed overnight not because of the affluence,we were not affluent but by Nigerian standards we were a comfortable and happy family and still are. |

Started driving at the age of 12 while in class 2, my dad was a discplinarian who never allowed us out of the compound, meanwhile he had buses for transport, been the stubborn one, i normally sneaked out with a driver who i pallied, he gave me the bus to learn with in a school field while he blew his weed. The day my dad saw me driving my younger ones to river Benue to wash the bus he was like waoooo who taught u. I was scared stiff that he will punish me, but he was very proud and mocked my elder brothers that they cant drive. Since then any kind vehicle na toy. |

Started driving at age 14, we had like 6 cars... The lamborghini nd aston martin (which dad always parked in the garage cos it was the most expensive ones nd prolly he cherished them), the range rover sport, toyota camry, a pickup like that (he used that for site purposes) nd an EOD... on my first trail, i had been watching my dad drive previously wen he takes me out..so i had rhe urge. On the particular day, i went into my dads room to pick his atm for him cos he was goin out, then my eyes just jammed the car jeys in his drawer, i instantly had the strong urge to drive that morning, we lived in usburn, lekki... Immediately dad left bayi, since the range was the last in the line, i had to take it, i took the keys nd hoped in... As i started the car, ah was really scared, lol..den i began, reversing nd going forward for like 30 mins, i was happy... I just told the gateman to open the gate, the man thought i was mad, buh he opened it... Nd i drove out, moving the car very slowly going up nd down our vicinity buh nt outta the estate... I turned on the radio, it was boring, so i just switched it off nd inserted Lil wayne, jay z, beyonce,etc cd in one, was blasting music, nd finally parked the car, since then i ve been cruising around island with friends, elegushi beach, silbverbird cinemas, ozone, icm... Not until i travelled out to uk for uni last 2 weeks... No personal car yet buh i am to use my family's car to sch here lol.. |
