Need Help On Driving Please by Sirchiboy: 6:31pm On Dec 08, 2022 |
I went to one useless driving school in PH for one month to learn driving. 16 days practical and 8 days theory. Out of the 16 days practical, only two days they used to teach me reversing. Finished the school 4 months ago and since then I have not driven. Just last week, I entered corrola car and I bashed it Find it hard to know if my wheel is straight or not. Still can not reverse well or park well |

Sirchiboy: First of all dont practice o large and major roads...start with smaller areas with minimal movement of cars...then when you're more confident you can go to major roads.....MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR ROAD SIGNS!!!...... Lastly remember that when you're driving, you're driving 5 cars...yourself, the person in front of you, the people at your side and the the person at your back....you mainly have to take note of the people at your back because they react to how you move on the road and can cause a crash or offend the person behind you if you stop suddenly or switch lanes wrongly without indication....best of luck Luckily there are YouTube videos to help you on what you're not clear of.use it. 9 Likes |

You are the problem. You want to learn driving under 2 weeks. That's not ideal. Immediately after your school, you should have had a stand by vehicle to continue practice with under the guidance of someone. Or, If you are not too confident then you can go back to the driving school for further practicals. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Need Help On Driving Please by Conner44: 7:20am On Dec 09, 2022 |
Asquare84: So nobody helped teach you how to drive. You just entered and kicked the vehicle after your observations You entered a vehicle and started driving on your own Went on city roads and highways while learning on your own You learned to reverse on streets where other vehicles were parked on your own And yet you never scratched or bashed the vehicle you were using to learn at any single time? You sir . . . are a giant LiAr But enjoy, no be my business after all 2 Likes |

yomi007k:oga I learnt how to drive a manual car in a week in Lagos. The second week I was driving with my tutor and the third week I went to work alone. Everyone's level of assimilation varies. OP: You will eventually get the hang of it. Practice on a large field for a week and then enter a not too busy road. Always tie your learner sign as well so people can avoid or take it easy while driving behind you . All the best 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Sportwin: I myself am self taught. I was stealing my dads keys when I was in junior secondary school to go and drive. I learnt from observation, manual. I first learnt how to reverse very well due to the way he parks and the kind of compound we lived in. But mehn, I know how many times I bashed and scratched the vehicle in my learning days. Even to the point of respraying the vehicle before my old man found out lol Anybody that taught himself to drive and says he never had an accident no matter how minor HAS TOLD A BIG LIE Moving the vehicle is one thing . . . Controlling the steering wheel is another thing entirely 5 Likes 1 Share |

Practice makes perfection. When I started I made sure to read the car manual, it took me 3days b4 I finished the book also watch YouTube videos for tips and tricks. Driving is fun when your passengers are your friends / family |

You will get better with time. I learnt to drive from YouTube, what I did is to emergen scenario look it up on YouTube and then go aside to practice. e.g I would check how to over take a moving car then l go aside and practice it before I knew I became perfect I even drove to east Aba from Lagos without any guiden |

Re: Need Help On Driving Please by dominic17: 10:37pm On Dec 09, 2022 |
I was driving regularly and I was always updating my skills including studying highway code to understand types of road and who has right of ways before I knew I became perfect. I can not really say how long it took me. Sirchiboy: |

You can never be perfect in driving . Bashing is part of the process, keep learning . And like someone said you are driving 5 cars at once . 1 Like |

Conner44: Oga i taught myself how to drive myself and i never scratched or had accident with it |
Re: Need Help On Driving Please by RoadMozart(m): 9:38pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
Conner44: I don't agree totally with you. No one taught me how to drive but I learnt through simulation games. My first trip was from Ore to Sagamu. That went on smoothly after watching and obvservation for about 2years. Since I started driving in 2020, I've never bashed any car meanwhile ive travelled with over 15 different cars. I'm just 21 but my clients say I drive like I have 30years of experience |
Re: Need Help On Driving Please by Conner44: 10:22pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
RoadMozart: Did you learn with a manual or automatic? When I said accident I didn’t mean outright bashing of the car oh I meant scratching, denting or rubbing while driving through tight streets and corners. That’s the type of stuff I’m saying must happen while learning to drive by one’s self. |
Re: Need Help On Driving Please by RoadMozart(m): 10:41pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
Conner44: Learnt both. I used "grand truck simulator 2" to learn. Its a game that's almost close to reality. And as for the learner-related minute accidents, never had one. |
Re: Need Help On Driving Please by Conner44: 11:19pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
RoadMozart: What I asked was did you learn how to drive with a manual gear or automatic gearbox vehicle? |
