It's interesting that Raymond's Murphy's English Grammar in Use suggests "It's the first time he HAS DRIVEN a car (not 'drives')" or "He has never driven a car before" in context "Don is having a driving lesson. He is very nervous and unsure because it's his first lesson" (Unit 8-C).
Uly, is that a specifically BrE? Could you please comment?
Murphy writes: "Note, that we say 'It's the first time something has happened' (present perfect)."
Then he gives his examples...
You can say that too: This is the first time I’ve driven a car. (although it wouldn’t be my first choice — too bookish)
Thank you, Uly. To me, it sounds kind of odd (крючковато, заковыресто 🤪)
👍🏼🤩

My knowledge was also limited by the same info from Murphy. It's funny! And I'm happy to learn about more natural alternative. Thank you very much!
Anytime!
