Nervous to drive
Hi all, recently joined in here as I passed my test April 13th. It was a really long time coming of on and off lessons for years until I really powered through and did around 80+ lessons over 4 months and it paid off. However now there’s the anxiety and stress of doing my first drive, I’m gonna be honest I’m absolutely terrified. I was always very nervous/anxious driving but now I’ve got no one with me I’m so scared to take that first step into driving myself. Just bought a car this Saturday old 2004 Ford fusion that I’m picking up Sunday and having to drive it home about 30/40 mins away from my home. It’s older, no parking sensors, no digital speedometer, the mirrors are smaller and the car is slightly bigger than the same 2019 Toyota Yaris I’m used to. I’m so worried I won’t be able to judge gaps, or I’ll get confused at the bigger/spiral round abouts, or accidentally hit someone’s car while trying to park. How did everyone else’s first drive go, I need some good stories to try get rid of my anxiety 😟
