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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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]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]

I learned through Drivers Ed in high school. I got a learners permit at 15 and the license when I was 16. I have been driving for years!

My dear father started the process when I was 17. He was a bit of a chauvenist and didn't really want me to have the independence of driving. But he made a pretense at it. He took me out driving once a month for a half hour. My brother who is a year older than me use to sneak and let me drive all the time so that I could learn. He even took me to take the test and get my license. My father was FURIOUS. Looking back it was very funny.

[i]I am 24 years of age but until now I don't know how to drive. Is it necessary? I wanted to try driving but I don't have car. Anyway I can go to other places whenever I want because of jeep and bus that can be hire.[/i]

Hi..I learnt to drive, when I was 19...I don't know how to drive a car..But, i can drive a bike...Most of them take some time to learn a bike but,I learnt it very soon...Most of them fail to switch into their 1st gear...But I rarely failed to do so..Learning a vehicle is always thrilling...one can become perfect in driving a vehicle if he learns it before 25...Even if we try to learn after that age..It takes lot of time to learn and to become perfect.We get scared of other vehicles,if they go at a higher speed..Even if your city has all the transport facilities,you have to learn how to drive a vehicle..You never know what happens in the future...If you have to go out on an urgent work you ll not be able to reach your destination, even if you have a bike or a car...So,be careful while driving and enjoy your driving..!!!!

i learned to drive at a very young age driving tractors and the likes on a farm.i passed my test 1st time when i was 17.but i will admit that every day i drive i am learning something new about other drivers so i think that you never stop learning to drive

I learnt driving in my 18th age. On that age my friends are driving so nicely but i don't know to drive so they made me shame by driving. So in my home one Hero Honds bike is there, i told to my brother and my brother trained me in a playing ground every evening after coming from the college. After two days i learnt how to drive. Really i am very happy when i learnt driving. I never fell down while learning and now i am 22 years old still i never felt down from the bike.

i learned when i was 19 year old. it was aminly from brotyther, dad. we used toi drive in countryside those time. got my license at that time too.

I learned how to drive in North Dakota after I was married and had a child. My husband taught me how to drive. Once I did learn I was glad that I did because than I didn't have to depend on him to take me places. I am 58 years and that was a long time ago.

Hi aseretdd, That's great for you! I believed when you earned that skill already, it will always be with you! The only thing only for other people, the fear is there so it hinders them in driving back! Anyway, I am still learning this time..LOL! I am hoping I will be a goo driver at 32 years old.LOL! Wish me luck! LOL!

I learnt how to drive in 1989 firstly by my friend,and i started moving my parent's cars but when my dad noticed that i had been moving his car,he started giving me lessons and taking me out on driving tests. I went for a driving test in thesame year and contrary to what some people do to get their licience,i went straight to the testing ground without a teacher or a driving School been invoved,and wrote the exam,drove thesame day and ofcourse,i passed the exam. and was issed a licience thesame year.

I learned to drive at age 15,quite early.My then boyfriend(now my husband taught me actually).It was very easy because the car was an automatic.I have been driving ever since and now consider myself a professional.

i got driving license when i was 18 year of age. soon after school period. after that i drove my father's car for several months and i went to Russia for higher studies. now i came back home again for vacation, i am little bit nervous to drive now, because 2 years i didn't drive in Russia. But i think i can continue driving now without a problem.. when i was learning to drive, it took 30 days to learn step by step. i think no need to be afraid for drive even you didn't drive for few years. because you already have license. but you should be careful at the first few days when you drive after a long period.
