How Did You Learn How To Drive? by Smartsyn(m): 8:06pm On May 05, 2016
I learnt through the hard way.

When I was in school, that was my 2nd year, I was living with an Uncle and he has many cars, and two of them was at our disposal. His two sons, my age mates can all drive, but I can't, I have never drive before in my life.

One morning as I was washing one of the cars, I never knew that you must not step on the throttle before the car moves, I just start the car, engage the gear and remove my leg from the crunch, the car jumped and hit the car in front. That was my first experience with a car.

Weeks later, one of the sons asked me to drive, we're on the highway, he told me what to do and was like I got it. From gear 1, I jumped to gear 4 while I was dancing with the steering, I nearly caused an accident.

That was how I managed to learn, after many attempts.

How did you learn how to drive, did you went to a driving school?

About to learn, but work won't let me have the time. But definitely before the end of the year. I remember November last year, I visited my sister, she was pregnant, then she was in labour, I don't know what to do, the husband was not around but this car was home. I couldn't drive. We had to wait for the husband. That was the first time of seeing a woman in labour. She cursed me like never before. Lol. Like "why cant I drive" and calling me names. We laugh about that now. But I really felt bad about not being able to drive my sis to hospital.

Usually sit in the passenger's sit beside the driver...so I look at every driver's leg, hand and navigation.. Then am a very good drift game player couple with some things I read online, I was able to move both manual and auto vehicle...but was nervous and unprofessional at first cus I might tap wipe thinking its trafficator, eventually, I became a fayawo driver after sometime...

Simply by always seating in front near the driver ever since I was area tender age. So I needed no one to teach me how to drive.

I started by stealing popsy's car key whenever he's not around. Remove car from gear and roll it a bit. That was in secondary school.


I grew up to know i can drive. No one taught me.

Very funny indeed. I did it all myself nobody, but over time I needed someone to perfect it. But somehow, it is affecting me today because teaching others how to drive is one thing I can't actually do. My fiance is on my head to teach her how to driver but no way. I have offered her driving school fee twice but she still insist even when she tags me a rough driver. She actually calls me James Bond when am on wheel.
