My first driving experience was funny tho. After I clocked 18 years my mum wanted me to learn driving. I learnt it with a manual transmission car. Just one day I wanted to enter an estate after trafficating I wanted to press the brake and clutch in slow motion to enter. I didn't know how my leg reached d accelerator (Turtle) That's how the car sped off and enter inside a bush full of big trees especially palm trees. I thanked God that day that the car didn't even hit any tree. I would have used the handbrake but I didn't want anything disastrous. After that day the fear in me as diminished and now I can drive to anywhere in Nigeria if I would get my driving license soon  Share yours too don't spoil the fun. |

I learnt myself with Honda Evil Spirit auto. All I know is that there is a brake and accelerating pedal. Within one week of constant practise. I com dey pose inside the car. But I brush tire, I brush danfo, keke, okada, even gateman and human being for road.. Hhahahha |

Had a little scratch from a danfo the first day I drove my car. that was also my first day driving (I had initially gone for diving lessons). I'm still learning though. Few weeks now. PS: Don't buy into that bullshit of using manual cars to learn first. I wouldn't be having issues driving my car if I had jejely learnt with an auto trans. It all gets confusing for a learner. I still have issues with parking properly.. hopefully that would be perfected this week.  |

My first driving experience. Funny stuff. First the car kept stalling. It was just me and I stole the key when my folks were at work. It seemed so easy in my head but in reality it wasn't so. Then I finally got the hang of it but changing gears was another issue. I kept looking down at my hands and feet before I could change gears. By the time I'd successfully shift, I would look up just in time to steer the car out of the bushes. Oh and everyone had to see me on the road. I would wave at you even when we had not spoken in a while. I'd look back to make sure you saw me and then by the time I turned to the wheel, the car was in the bushes again. Its been well over 15years but its a fond memory. |

masonkz:Bro the idea of learning with manual car is the best... If you can drive a manual car you would easily drive auto cars, but if u can drive only auto i'm not sure the person would drive manual... The only problem with manual is changing of gears while isn't applicable to autos... I drive autos well cos i can drive manual cars...like me now i belive auto cars is for ladies why manual is for men do uno that driving schools use manual cars for training their students? |

Simitrendy: Volkswagen Beetle to be exact. An auto wont stall. You're right. It seemed easy enough in my head. I knew all the theory. The practical was quite different. Anyway as a result of my learning experience, I became a very good teacher. One of the first things I have my students do is shift gears on a stationary vehicles. Only when they can do it subconsciously do I take them on the road. Also, I teach them the rudiments of breaking and not stalling the car before I take them on the road. |
