When and how did you learn to drive?...

I've got my license when I was 27, I do drive sometimes using my cousin's car. And when I went to US, from there I did learn a lot of things when it comes to driving. They have a different driving rules yet very interesting and driver's are well discipline. If it is RED, then they stop. Unlike here in my country, even the traffic light is RED, most of the driver's still passed along the traffic.
It is a big achievement for me to have my own car way back 2004 and I still have my Mitsubishi Galant.

well i was 18 when i first learned to drive, i went throught driver ed class and after tht i had to complete like 34 hours of driving. i have to say tht learning how to drive requires no skill certinly in a automatic, i end up learing how to drive a manual car cuz it looked like more of a challenge. to this day i wont drive an automatic unless i have to. i perfer driving a manual cuz it gives me something more to do and tht it makes me more alert of whts going around me and wht i'm doing.

I learned to drive in my first job. My boss told me to learn how to drive all the vehicles in that company so that whenever the drivers are all occupied, i can drive it myself. I even drove trucks! I seldom do it now because of the traffic and the lrt is near to us.

hi freind,
i got my license when i was 23 years old and that time i joined my first job so from my first salary i took a byke and i got license from RTO.
The best part of that was i learnt driving after taking my motorcycle initially i was not much confident but i am very much confident in driving.

Hello aseretdd,

I learned how to drive when I was 25 years old. It is quite late too since most start to learn when they reached the age of 18. I got a job offer with Auto Bavaria which sells BMW cars and amazingly, I didn't know how to drive when I accepted the job. Only my boss and I knew the truth*smiles* Still, I didn't learn how to drive but a month before resigning from the job, I went to a driving school and registered my name. I told the instructor that I need my license within a fortnight. I knew that I am going to be jobless after that so I just want to get everything done faster. I missed a lot of opportunities while working with the automotive company. There were so many BMW cars with different models and I couldn't even drive one! I always had someone or a company driver to send me for my monthly meeting at our HQ. I even accompanied my staff to drive back a red Z3 roadster when they promoted the film 'James Bond' here. (James Bond drove that Z3 in the movie...)

I sat for a road test after a fortnight and I remember clearly what the driving instructor told me a day before the test. We had a trial road test and he told me honestly, "I think you can drive but if you panicked a bit, then gone your driving license!" He was right. I failed my parking test as I couldn't moved the car (I didn't pull down the handbrake!) and when I did move, I hit the pole. I got mine after the second test. I can drive a manual and auto car, but I prefer to drive a manual car unless during peak hours.

It took me a while..I was 21 when I finally got my license. I failed the first driving test but got it the second time. I got a nasty old man who likes to fail everyone. My driving teacher told me this. Luckily the second time around, i was more relaxed and the testing guy was nice and easy going. I was so excited when I got it!

i am 38 years old and i dont know how to drive. we dont have a car that is why. lol. but i think i would rather travel by train which is faster and if i go to the grocery or supermarket i can go home riding a taxi cab. i can rest while someone is driving for me. it is nice to have a car of my own but i cant afford it. lol. maybe when the time comes my children can buy their own cars.

Hello aseretdd,

I learned how to drive when I was 25 years old. A instructor of a driving company whom a friend of mine knows, teached me how to drive on his owner jeep for a reduce fee. After a week of driving around town with the instructor I was certified to drive. A lot of thing happened after that and up to now I am still learning how to drive. It is a continuous thing and driving is fun if there are no other vehicles around. I still have issue doing parallel parking especially in a crowded place. I am not a good driver and so I avoid driving as much as possible. But there are situations that you have to drive and so you make the best of the situation. I am glad there are more automatic cars in our country. It makes driving more easier and fun.

Good thing you are enjoying how to drive. Keep it up.

I learn to drive when i was eighteen,last year.The legal age to get a driving license here.Right on my birthday itself,my dad tagged me along to register for the driving course.I have instructors teaching me how to drive.Attended quite a number of lessons which need to fork out a lot money.Thanks to my parents who support me into this.Im still at the probation mode,and not confident enough to drive alone.=)

I learned to drive when I was 17. My parents enrolled me in a driving school near our house. I think the car that was used was a brand new Toyota Corolla. I finished the course and everything but I was not able to use it afterwards. My parents didn't buy me a car and then my dad died after 2 years. So, our budget really didn't allow my mom to buy me one even a second hand car.
