Answer:

I told the driver to let me drive the car.

Explanation:

Simply eliminate the quotation, and transform the sentence in such a way that as if you were reporting it without the use of direct quotation. It comes naturally when you're a fluent speaker.  

It would simply seem as if you were giving a "You Side" of the story; constructing the quotation into your own sentence.  

Moreover, it would usually simply be eliminating the:  

(X) said to, (Y)  

(Z) said,

And Turning it into:  

(Z) + (predicate)

Ex. [ Maya told me to shut the hell up ] instead of [Maya said to me, "Shut the hell up."]

A common change in tense would be that "are" becomes "was." Meaning, when converting direct speech towards indirect speech, usually, you'd transform present tenses into past ones.
