Driver's License
I am twenty years old and have had my permit about four times now because I have been too scared to take the road test, due to lack of practice as well. I keep telling myself with each permit I get that it will be the last, and here we are on number four. That is quite embarrassing to admit. I have a fear of driving on the road. I've practiced a few times with my boyfriend at night, and I was ok for the most part, but I have a fear of driving with all the other cars around me. I guess I am scared to make someone angry, probably due to my social anxiety as well. I am planning on driving with an instructor for the first time instead of just having my boyfriend take me driving since he is also not the best teacher (sorry to my boyfriend). I just want tips on how to feel comfortable driving with other cars around. If you guys have had an instructor, did it help more versus just driving with a friend/family member/spouse? Also how long did it take you guys roughly to feel somewhat ok to take the road test? I want the independence that comes with driving, I don't want to just allow this fear to keep me from driving forever. I also don't want to have to force my boyfriend to be my designated driver. Thankfully, I work from home so it isn't too much of a burden on him right now. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊.
