driving nerves

I didn't drive on a motorway, or even a dual carriageway until about 4 years after passing. -I have to drive about 40 minutes to reach one :p. Until that time, I'd never needed to

After uni I started driving again, I found it really strange to drive in Cardiff at first, but after a few days I got used to it.
 
I passed my test a year ago, and only just got a car so haven't driven in a year, so the first few drives I was a bit nervous. Soon you will be fine and have no problem with it - I find that planning your route before you go can really help, also learn which lane to be in before it's too late and you panic.

Good luck.
 
I just real-life face palmed at people actually suggesting the OP have a drink or two before driving. How utterly, utterly ridiculous.

go driving at the dead of night, far more fun plus the roads are clear. You also get more practice this way, it's what i used to do.

I did this. Used to pop out 12/1am and just drive around everywhere, somtimes 50-60 miles away from home. Watch out for them speed cameras though, back when i started there was a whole lot less lol.
 
Whats wrong with some of you?

Have a few whiskeys before driving? are you mad?

Telling someone to drink drive is utterly stupid, i certainly wouldn't get in the car with you or take any advice from you.

Dj_Jestar just facepalmed you :D
 
I personally only drive when I am too drunk to walk anywhere. I am rarely nervous, even after ploughing through a crowd of schoolchildren.
 
For me I think it was a question of maturity. When I was younger I was a nervous person in general which showed itself when I drove. Eventually stopped having lessons, came back to it 4 years later, got in started the engine and got on with it. Like riding a bike it is something you don't forget.
