First Time Driving Experience.
We all have unforgettable moments while learning driving. Every one starts their driving activities with cycle. In our childhood days we ride our toy cycle which is our first riding (driving) experience. After growing up we get a lot of injuries and fall a lot of times to learn the bicycle driving. I started my cycling activities at my 8th age while studying third standard, at that time i fall down a lot of times due to my young age as well as got a lot of injury. After a lot of struggles in learned cycling perfectly.
I started to drive my two wheeler at my 12th age while studying 7th standard. My father is afraid to give his two wheeler to me, since i am little boy, but most of the times i take his bike without his knowledge and have pleasure rides. After that i learned car driving while studying 10th standard. I got my driving license at my 18th age. In our country we don’t have the ability to get license if we are minor (below 18 years). I went to the RTO office after completing my 17th age and passed in the driving test to get the certificate.
Now driving license is one of the main identity proof for me, always i will cherish my old driving activities and experiences. I share this things to my wife and kids. Now my son is with 5 years and started to learn bi cycle. Hope he will learn the driving in the near soon.

I am sixteen years old and have just started to learn car driving (manual transmission). I must say that I was nervous. The driver instructor, my father, have over 50 years of experience. My performance anxiety was high.
I was not expecting to drive on the road after a short introduction of gearing and handling the clutch along with gas pedal. We drove about 30km to his office, where I had a long break. However, the break time for my father was brief. I fixed his coffee while he dealt with his e-mails. He was waiting for his students to meet him on time. So I sat waiting inside the office till evening, when the dusk began to gloom the cloudy sky. When he was done, I was suprised to know I was driving back home.
In total it was fine, considering it is my first time driving a car. My father has quick hands, he can literally take over the steering wheel and pedals (passenger seat has pedals) if I mess up, like I did especially when I braked to an intersection while gearing down.
I should consider to calm down and not overthink. My pulse was high all the way, and was often stressed in the wake of anxiety when my father pointed out on my consequences of driving improperly. I hope to receive the certificate after many driving lessons as a testimony of a legitimate driver with safety in mind.
