First Day of Driving

My first in-car driving session was today. It was an awesome experience. Super nerve-wracking in the beginning like I couldn't sit still at all but after a while I was able to relax and calm myself down a lot better. I think the only thing I still have troubles with is turning because I usually turn too early and either end up on the curb or the other car's lane. My friend has troubles with stopping because she makes jerky stops (gives you a headache ) but it's fine most of the time.

Have you guys starting driving yet? or do you already know how to drive?

EDIT: I'm 15 and starting to drive lol

I'm quite good at driving, but I guess parallel parking and stuff like that could use a bit more practice. c:
Let me just say having my mum as a teacher is freaking TERRIBLE.
She's like, yelling half the time. For some reason she's quite scared of sitting in a car with me, and seriously, i'm quite good. D<
jeez.
I'mma take a few proper lessons from car lesson people. Take a break from my mum.. [/quote]

hahha I rmb when I got my first lesson from my dad. we ended up arguing thruout the whole ride. after that, I never drove with my dad until I got my class 7 license. hah
learning from my mom was a lot easier but she's still a scaredy cat whenever I'm driving.

Been driving for 7 years, I used to go Go-Karting, or play Racing games as a kid.
Or sometimes I will drive properly in a GTA game.
So when I drive people usually say "I drive good."

I still have to learn I guess, I never drove a manual.
