Hi, I passed my test on Tuesday and got a car on Thursday. It was my first time driving solo since I passed and I felt like I almost passed out. The first half of my drive wasn’t too bad and then I had one guy almost crash into me as he was overtaking another car in front of him. I think that shook me up as then I accidentally stalled nearing a roundabout. The guy kept honking his horn, which didn’t help my nerves at all. I managed to do it in the end, but it’s small bits like this that has already scared me of driving on my own. I had no problems driving in my instructors car and I was pretty confident with it. Are there any tips to get more confident on the roads without feeling afraid/intimidated of other drivers?

Hello, I’ve just recently passed my driving test and I have looked and test drove a few cars, but not sure what make would be good/better for a first car. I’ve been looking at a Peugeot. Is that a good car in general? Are there any makes I should avoid completely? Just need a little advice as I’m not too knowledgeable about them.

I passed my driving test today! Second times a charm! I was still as nervous as the first time I had the test. I had a morning test, so I used a lot of the back routes which weren’t too bad. Now I just have to find a car.
