AutoJoshNG:
The picture of that moment still remain crystal clear. It was a sunny afternoon in Port Harcourt City, I was watching Double Impact by Van Damme with my elder brother in the living room. Immediately after the scene the 2 Benz Regular cars were dropped into the water to distract the cops, my brother went into my Dad's room and got his car keys from its hiding place.

Before I could say Jack Robinson, I heard the unique engine sound you could only get from a 1983 Benz 230E W123. Then he started to test the skills we had learnt from watching our mum drive. Told him to stop but he didn't listen. I couldn't beat him so I had to join him.. Haha. O'Boy, see driving. Thanks to our large compound that left no obstruction in the way.

A 13 year old me and my 15 year old elder brother feeling on top of the world. We had unlimited fun mixed with fear. My Dad knew eventually, being a sharp guy but he let it slide being a gentleman. That was my first and last attempt until clocked 17.

I thought it was a crazy thing to do until I saw some badt guys in my secondary school.. "Federal Govenrment College Port Harcourt". I was in SS1 when I saw a JS1 boy drive himself to school on his first day. His elder brothers were in the car though.

I know we have some record breakers in the house. Tell us about your first driving experience, the age and the car you drove in the comment section..

i started driving at the age of 7.it was a 1974 datsun car with a 6-cylinder engine.My dad was preparing for a tour,and started the engine while it runs.
Meanwhile,when he was in the bathroom,i jumped into the car,to test my "PS i love you" style;a soap of the early '90s.
I eventully packed the car almost perfectly,raising the engine.That blew the alert for my dad.He rushed out to ask me,but i denied.Oweing to the perfect park,he let me go.
GOD saved me that day,i for hear am.
But since then i kept on till i became a professional.
None thought me how to drive and very proud about that.

An appropriate question for me would be, how old was I when I first crashed a car? I was 16, annoyed by my 15years old cousin whom was asked to move the car closer to the washing zone by his mother, my aunt. A child driving yet I'm 5 months older than him, never.

Don't ask me how a managed to get it moving, but I did. Straight into the garage door. Papa gave me his famous dragon look and I knew there and then, it was time to move into my gradma's place. Stayed there for two weeks.
