Vehicle/Transport Drivers: How did you learn to drive? or Do you like to learn driving?

I took Driver's Ed in high school as my first bit of driving, but never got my licence until I was married. Then my husband taught me how to drive. That was and wasn't a good thing.

I've been driving since I was 16. Got my license at 17 as soon as my state allowed it. I've never had an issue with it. You can't NOT drive where I live as there is no public transportation and I don't live in a city where you can walk to everything.

A combination of family and friends taught me to drive. I wanted to take drivers ed in school, but broke my wrist and was in a sling as I was about to start... I think it changed my life for the worst..but thankfully, I got my license a few years later.

My husband wanted to teach me and he was like your father. One day I had enough, I stopped the car, opened the door, told him, you drive and from now on I will never drive again.

I had my first drive when I was in college. We have this driving test as a requirement for our course.

I don't know to drive and I don't like to learn to drive. Now days vehicles have increased in numbers and everyone is in a rush to get back home. In some places they don't obey rules and drive as their wish which creates accidents.Even expert drivers have had accidents. So i would never learn to drive rather I would travel in buses and trains.

I would tell that I learned by myself, but it needs an explanation. I got a 125 cc bike driving licence at 16. At this time I had an exam about traffic regulations, but driving lessons were not mandatory. At 18 I wanted to have a driving licence for big bikes. I went to a driving school and told that I was already driving a 125 cc bike and had not a lot of money for the licences. There were 3 exams : another one about traffic regulations with a bike part, driving on road and driving on track. After 1 hour of lesson the driving instructor told me that I was needing only a few lessons for the track part and told me that the traffic regulations part would also count for cars and that I should go also for the car licence. At the end I had only 4 hours of lessons for the bike and 8 for the car when I got the licences, during the same week. It would no more be possible today, the minimum hours of driving lessons is now set at 30 for a licence by law.

I had learned driving with the use of our forward.But I had stopped to drive when we got an accident.

I learned driving the very first time from my dad. He's not a hot-tempered guy fortunately. I even hit a big flower pot or something in the front yard but didn't get scolded for it.

I want to learn how to drive, but I don't have the money for lessons and no one around me has the time for it. Someday I will learn.

No, I don't drive. I don't want to as I prefer reading when I am inside the car.

Ah this is a great conversation. Oh, I am sorry your dad was hot tempered teacher too. Mine also had some unusual teaching practices. Like how he would carry on about the goriest accidents - while I was driving. Or scream at me and point so that his arm was in front of my eyes. He would over react to little things. A person on a sidewalk for example. "LOOK AT THAT PERSON ON THE SIDEWALK! YOU DIDN"T EVEN MOVE YOUR HEAD!!! THEY COULD HAVE RUN OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU"D HAVE KILLED THEM!!!!!" then, of course I would be shook up and start making mistakes which in turn he would scream and yell about more. The reason I persisted was because we lived in the country and if I ever wanted to be allowed to go anywhere without having to beg to be taken, then driving it is.

When I was in high school, I lived for awhile in California. They provided free Drivers Ed, and when I came back to Texas I had my licence at 17. The only time I have ever paralleled parked perfectly was when I took my driving test.

I hated learning to drive but now find it second nature. I hate traffic jams though and spent an hour in one this evening driving home!!

I know how to drive but I don't drive. I freeze up behind the wheel when I get nervous so it isn't safe for me or anyone else for me to drive.

When I was little (4-5 years old) my parents had a 1964 Plymouth Valiant that had "three on the tree" shifting. I would stand on the front seat next to my mom and shift. That came in handy when I bought a standard transmission car in 1981! "Formal" driving instruction was courtesy of high school: we had driver's ed courses. I don't think many, if any, schools have that as a course option any longer, though.

I love to drive - although long journeys are boring - but I guess I like to be in control. I can drive a car, a small lorry/truck or horsebox, a trailer, a motorbike, a motor boat and even fly a plane. And I ride a bicycle and can ride a horse too.

My father taught me to drive. I love to drive and have been driving since I was 16. I need a car, because there is no public transportation where I live, or stores for that matter, and everything is spread out.

I had drivers education in high school. My grand dad taught me to drive in the city so I wouldn't be nervous when I would have to. My Dad taught me how to drive a stick shift so that I would know how to do so. I love to drive.

Yes I want to learn to drive a car though I don't have a car, hehe
