Driving license anxiety..?
Hello
I had my first driving lesson last week (a double lesson), and I've been terrified of my next one ever since… I'm usually very nervous and tense, but when it comes to something like this, even more so. I've ignored the right-of-way rule several times (accidentally, of course 😅), I didn't signal when changing lanes or check my shoulder, and I've driven too fast or too slow several times because I was too focused on other things, like staying in my lane…
I just have the feeling that driving isn't my thing and I really can't imagine ever getting my driver's license, even though it really would be my greatest wish..😕 I can't really imagine that it will get better with more driving lessons because it's just too much for me and I can't pay attention to everything at once..Has anyone else had a similar experience?

The most important is always quiet and concentrated to stay. All road users like you have had your first driving hours. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, because mistakes all make. Also the best drivers. Very helpful if you can practice with someone on a private property, you should still drive with manual transmission. However, I would recommend you to the automatic transmission. Because at the beginning it is particularly difficult to think of everything at the same time.
Moving the car should go to meat and blood so you don’t have to think about it anymore. For that, I’d be too expensive in your place.
Yeah! I also raced through practical testing! After the first ride, the muzzle was full of wg panik 🤣🤣 but don’t worry: you’re a rider because you’re still learning! Everyone started this way – even the black drivers with Papa’s car ðŸ ̃‰ nobody can do that right now! Just trust and go on positively. The teacher sits next to it and may intervene. Exercise makes the Master! Car driving is fun! You can do this. Don’t make yourself so scared is a bad guide! Good luck! 🍀
Thank you. That really calmed me a little bit right now
Sure. Just courage! You will see from the fifth hour you laugh about it! 😉
So I was only allowed to steer at my first hour. You have to push it and learn the piece by piece. My opinion
At the first driving hour everyone goes that way, in some cases many students can only steer and flash. I started with traffic observation (school view, etc.) only from the 4th double hour
“Because it’s just too much for me and I can’t pay attention to everything at the same time.”
This is going to happen to a lot of things you learn new. That’s why you learn it. Actually, you shouldn’t have to do so much in the first hour. Steer, give gas, brake. You will remember the flashing, the way forward. Your driving instructor can also brake.
After a few driving hours, it should be better. I hope for you, if you really can’t do that so well that you have a nice driving instructor. Some are unfortunately, in my opinion, very declining.
But I also had problems just before the exam, the first one was then directly covered and only passed in the second. No problem.
That you are no longer afraid of driving and are no longer nervous, that actually comes only when you drive alone. If no one sits next to you and blames you for everything. At least I did. And still I am infall-free xD
