It took me about a year. I didn't have a constant car to drive cos my brother was always going out with it. So, every once in a while, i would drive and jam one car, and stay off driving for a few weeks, then try again. But in like 8-10 months, i became a pro. I can drive in my sleep now. lol!

I do the opposite of what he tells me whenever i'm behind the wheels just to mess with him. But whenever i'm driving on my own, I drive better and since no-one can testify to this "o ri mi o pe niyen"

Mine was a manual and it was just a day. The next day I took it out and with the SLAP i received from one driver that hot afternoon for not trafficating before negotiating a bend, my-o-my my life never remained the same.

[quote author=SAVEDBABA post=59499346]I am still learning after 8 years +.
Best answer to the question, because learning is a continuous process and knw one can be described as the master of the road.
But 3weeks is enough for the preamble.

I've been sitting down with drivers watching, observing them how they drive. Asked lots of questions. When it was time for me to actually drive,it took just a day to be able to move a car on d road. I perfect my driving when I had my own car less than a week. Took me less than a month to transit inter state.

I have this phobia for driving especially on Nigerian roads. I didn't learn so quick but using automatic gear made it easy for me. My problem now is am scared of driving on Nigerians roads. It's so sad for me. Can't go to most places on my own.

I never knew driving is this easy, with all this people zooming off in one day. It should not take me more than one week, time to enroll.
