what was your first driving experience like? where were you? how old were you? etc

i got my permit when i was 17 and the first time i drove was in a cemetery(which is apparently frowned upon) and i almost drove down a steep slope into a lake,my dad yelled at me :T
i was driving like 10 mph MAX the whole time
i was really freaked out (hopefully getting license this summer)

I was about 14 I think.
My mom took me out to a parking lot before I did the driving part of drivers ed.

I was thinking it was like a go cart and you had to REALLY press the gas to get going. Apparently not.

[quote=Dreeeam]When I was going for my G2: Totally forgot how to parallel park and three-point turn. I also forgot to check my blind spots and almost hit a pedestrian D: As soon as that happened, he failed me right away.

That was when I was 16.[/quote]

i put it in reverse and gassed it into the middle of the street from the driveway (i meant to step on the brakes)

17. (i'm not allowed to drive til 18...).
about a couple months ago, my first and only time behind the wheel was right after a saturday ap psych review session. this girl saw me waiting for my ride home, but i was like nah i'm okay, i live too far, but she didn't want to leave me alone so she's like get in the car xD. she drove around town for awhile then went back to school. my parents weren't gonna show up for another 40 minutes or so, so she was like 'hey, wanna learn how to drive?' yeah. c: she taught me basics of driving, and i drove around the parking lot with her like 10 times, did some parking, gas pedal, etc. it was fun

I have my license already. (17 years old.) Although, I failed my first time because I hit the curb on reverse. I'm a loser.

My first driving experience was great. I got strawberries and I did awesome.

I took my Dad's BMW for a joyride in a parking lot when I was 6. Crashed into a pole at 40 km/h...

Just pulled my mom's old Torrent up the driveway. I was expecting more of a go-kart kinda pedal so I went too fast lol

Then I think my real driving experiences started in driver's ed, then I drove a lot with my dad when I got a permit (I wasn't allowed to lie and make up hours to take the 2nd class, so I drove all 30, and I wasn't planning on lying about all 30 ).

After the two classes and driving hours, I failed my first test solely because I made a stupid mistake and then passed the 2nd. Now I drive my '02 impala LS at least five days a week.

I was 15 and my dad had me drive a 2002 Toyota Corolla in an open, but small, middle school parking lot. There was a lot of learning to turn, accelerating properly, and breaking in time.
