At what Age you have started driving a Vehicle?

I am 26 and I have never started driving yet. I have heard people talking about driving a lot that it is a good stress breaker and interesting experience. I am so eager to learn it. I have only tried to ride a bicycle for many times, but I couldn't balance the cycle.

I started learning how to drive an automatic van (a StarEx, because my father said that it's better to learn how to drive with a big car because it's easier to adjust to a smaller car then) a couple of years ago while I was in college. However, now that I'm at work, I don't have the time to practice. I'm thinking about attending a class for it but I don't know if I should take it now - I know I probably wouldn't have time to practice after my driving lessons so I'm afraid that I would just forget my lessons. I wonder if I should just take my lessons later in life. Or if there's a way for me to make it a point to be able to drive at least an hour each week after that :) Thanks for the response on my discussion :)

Let me remember. I think I was around 12 years old when I first drove a two wheeler without help and 14 when I first drove a car without help. I'm 20 now and a decent enough driver of both categories of vehicles. I have my driving license for both bikes and cars but I still don't understand the need for one. I mean with the test procedure here, anyone without much driving skills can get a license as I found out when I got mine a couple of years ago. And you've seen people as young as 6 ride two wheelers? Now thats a risky proposition. I could barely keep my feet on ground when I first tried riding a two wheeler. I guess parents need to be a little more careful while letting their children ride bikes and cars.

I haven't started to drive yet.lol.I am 23.actually I want to drive but I am scared of facing an accident.It could even take my life away.I don't know ehether I would be ever able to come out of this fear of driving or not.
