First driving experience.

ouch. that was dangerous. lucky that nothing severe happened. I dont know how and what of it but I have faint memories of the first (and probably the only incident with car) - I had got into the car front seat to hide from someone (dont remember why and from whom). The car was parked in the garage but they keys were right in and I had turned it on. Next thing I remember is a loud noise and breaking of glass. Grandpa and his employees came rushing, and I was taken out of car. Grandpa was angry at me for behaving that way and send off the car for repairs.( I think both the headlights were damaged). Oh yes, I should also mention I was around 4-5 back then. Since then I have never been on the drivers seat in any car.

Greetings, topffer. My first driving experience was a few years ago. I was somewhere between 19 and 21 years old. It was already in the driving school, to obtain the license. Before that I had never driven a car. And I have to say that I was pretty much awful at that. I'm still not the best driver around, I have to confess. Driving is not my thing, hahaha. Wow, you drove quite early, eh? At that age, I would have no idea of even how to pull the hand brake. I imagine how mad your father must have been at that occasion. Wow, mine would literally go insane, hahahaha. The best part is that the children in France are alright and so were you! Respectfully.

I didn't drive a car until I had my learner's permit at 16. I didn't even try. I have always been a stickler for rules.

woow...driving at such an early age.it would be curious to see what punishment will the parent get

You were bad since the car ended up in the river. My brother and I took my Dad's jeep up in the mountains with his permision and we for got to put the brakes on and the car went down a hill. My dad had to send a tow truck up in the mountains to get the jeep back for us. We had no money.

First I have to say that I do not own a driver license, but I drove a little the first year I got married. I can understand your father was not very happy of your first try.

First, I want to say that it was very admirable of the boy to make sure that his brother was in a booster seat ... at least he was thinking that he was being safe. Second, my first experience driving was in my dad's truck when I was very young ... probably only two or three years old. He would sit me on his lap and let me steer the truck down the driveway. It was very exciting, although I realize now that it was not really driving.

gosh you're even younger than him. was your father's car an automatic or manual back then? did you jump out of the car before it reached the water?

My dad taught me how to drive. It was in the red car he bought me. I was 15.

Some experience! though I steered a jeep once for some ten or fifteen km, when I was your age, but all the while was sitting in the lap of my dad. To this day, I haven't learned driving! though I intend to take it up, in the coming weeks, if time permits.

My first experience was when I was old enough to actually know what I was doing, so nothing bad happened, fortunately. Good that the river wasn't very deep when you drove the car into it!

I do and it went okay for my first time behind the wheel, although I had a driving instructor that was controlling the second steering wheel so he probably prevented me from crashing a few times!!

yea i was working grave yard when i had my drivers test and i just come off work passed it with flying colors i was so tired it really was surprising

My first driving experience is when I was 12 years old.

Oh dear, I bet that baby sitter was fired! Growing up in the country we learn to drive at an early age. My parents would sit me on their lap when I was a tot and I would help steer. As I got older I got to drive on the dirt road that we lived on. Of course there was always a tractor or a lawn mower to drive/ride on. I never got into any trouble vehicle wise. Now my 6 year old son is a different story. At the ripe old age of 3 he knocked my husbands truck out of gear in the yard and rolled it right down the hill into some small trees. My husband always let him play in the truck, mess with the steering wheel as if he was driving. Well one day that back fired on him! Lil Keith knocked it into neutral and since it was sitting on a slant it started rolling. The really scary thing is how fast it was going and the fact that he got scared and jumped out of the truck as it was rolling. Fortunately he did not get run over by the truck. Scared the heck out of me and hubby The truck was easy to get out of the trees and it had a few scratches on it but thankfully the truck and Lil Keith were both fully intact.

Oh my gosh! Does that also count as the first time you ever steered a boat? I was never completely behind the wheel on my own - but on occasion my dad did let me steer from the side (with him supervising of course) - and that felt pretty cool!

Oh wow.. French people seem to love their kids driving I guess, even if it s by accident.

Yep. I was about 14 and driving around on dirt roads in Montana. My older brother was teaching me how to drive.

i will experience when i will get my first Cars

The first time I drove an automatic car (without gears) was unforgettable for me. Though there was no clutch, my foot went for the break and that resulted in the car coming to halt suddenly - luckily the car behind was not too close! siva
