How do I get over my driving anxiety? How do I know if I’m ready to take the driving test for my liscense?

neverneverland asked:


I am 20 years old and don’t have my liscense. I used to be REALLY scared to drive and would have anxiety even being a passenger. (A friend died in a car crash and I was also in a bad car crash so I was traumatized.) Now I have relatively little nervousness as a passenger, but still moderately scared driving! I have had some lessons, and my boyfriend says I’m good enough to take the test and probably pass, but I don’t FEEL ready. I’m really smart and its frusterating because it seems like driving doesn’t come naturally to me at all. It doesn’t help that I have poor depth perception and all the multi-tasking involved with driving makes me feel scared…I don’t want to get in an accident. How can I relax and get over my fear of driving? How do I know if I’m ready to pass the test? This is something I REALLY want to accomplish. If anyone has any tips for my anxiety or how to improve my driving, I’d really appreciate it! Or if you have been in a similar situation, please share.

    Take it and see what happens. If you don’t pass, you aren’t ready. If you do and still don’t feel ready, don’t drive…having a liscence won’t force you to drive.

    Take it slow and easy. One thing to do is have someone take you to a large open area, like a parking lot where no cars are around. Then you get in the driver’s seat and start diving. There you can get the feel for the car and not worry about hitting anything. Once you feel real comfortable with that, then move to side streets, etc. Good luck.
