Firstly age has nothing do with driving. People as young or as old can drive. Im not sure about UAE because I drive in USA. You can take few driving lessons and practice first before getting license. In US, we first get the learner's permit (written test) and then the license. I practiced the written test through the state website and the driving manual. Also observe the road signs and rules when you go with someone. Here we have many videos which explains the rules. Look for such videos in your country. First start with residential neighbourhoods where speed limit is less. Slowly you will get confidence. Good luck.
Hi OP, First get a qualified instructor to teach you. Most husbands get really flustered while teaching their wives and are more harmful to your confidence than not! Also choose an automatic transmission rather than manual. Helps concentrate on the roads better, I guess than when you have to change gears. Go and enjoy yourself!
Hi Abi... My mom learnt driving 2 wheeler at an age of 45.. She have'nt had a hand even with a bicycle... I still remember her waking me up at 2 AM and ask her doubts about sitting posture while making a U turn... To my surprise, she passed her car driving test with colors after few months..:2thumbsup:
Hi, I recently learnt driving(still learning) and I used to meet different fellow learners each time. Two of them were 60+ of age,who were learning now due to sheer necessity,in spite of being in the U.S for most of their lives. One of them didn't even know english. I really felt inspired and proud of them,and a bit ashamed of me thinking that I couldn't do it. I don't know if they have got their DL yet,or still learning.But I salute their spirit! You can do it,friend. Whats age got to do with it! You are not alone.Check out this thread for useful tips and encouragement ! http://www.indusladies.com/forums/g...202130-dmv-test-tips-experiences-success.html
