I was 15 years old when my dad made me learn how to drive in his 1989 Ford F-150, which was a manual mind you. It took me a couple days to get the hang of it, but it wasn't as hard as I imagined it to be. Too bad I own a automatic now, but I can still drive stick though. haha

Just go ahead and book those lessons! You won't regret it, better late then never you know. When I was in high school, I want to say 10th grade, I took drivers ed. Then I got my permit that same year, and I was driving on my own by the 11th grade. Which was awesome because we had off-campus lunch.

Whats the Driving age where you live? Here is 17 (UK)

I Was driving on private land Ragging a car about the garden at the Age of 12-11 With my brother as he was learning to drive for his test at the time, but as soon as i turned 17 on my birthday i started driving with my dad (teaching me) and because i passed my test faster than both my brother and less minors, took just over 2 month too pass and i had to wait in the list for ages and the earliest space the test centre had was like 2 months away from when i booked it. so would have passed alot faster if there was space
But where i live there is there are things people can doo that cost loads but are called
"5 day course" and you PASS in 5 days thats what my friends done so they was on the road 5 days after they turned 17

Motorbike: 15 (Got my first bike Tango 50 and a CR80 in the same year. Used them on fields around the back of my house, now the farmer has put gates to block me )

Car: 14 (Dad took me to drive on some random guys land lol)

Yeah never really young due to the fact i have no land where i live and my parents didn't want me to ride motorcycles as my dad had a accident on one. I have always watched the way my dad drives and picked up manuals from there, not hard the clutch just needs to be mastered. I couldn't drive/ride without a clutch, it adds so much fun the the ride/drive.

I'm not sure if you count this but 13-14 on a mini bike, but I would say I learned/started was when I was 16. You should really start learning or taking your classes man

I was 17 when I learned to drive, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Millions of people have their licenses, so it can't be that hard to do. GL.
