What was your first few drives like after passing driving test?

Yeah we’ve all been there. I didn’t go on the highway for months!

 

First time I went on a highway was in a driving class with my instructor; it was kind of nerve-wracking to be honest. Still today, every time I drive on that type of road, it just feels like a high speed jungle, especially in heavy traffic.

If you did well in your driving test, you're probably as good a driver as most you'll encounter on the road and just need to build more confidence and experience. Have trust in your abilities!

 

Got my license when I was 16, i was driving long before that though. My dad was having me drive late middle school on side roads. Main roads and highways early highschool, so I already knew how to drive highways.

When I had my permit at 15, I had a 17 yo girlfriend with a car and I drove her car (illegally) with her in passenger seat. Passed out a minivan on a side road going 45-ish mph in a 25. She loved it, we were both reckless, what made us good together. Cop instantly pull us over, let's me off w a warning bc I didn't even have a license yet lol

But no, I've always been very comfortable driving.

 

My dad always always made me back into parking spots. I could never pull in. So my driving instructor was saying I'm not that good at parking, then we did backing in and I was baller at it.

 

I was much more comfortable driving alone than with my mom. You'll get more comfortable driving over time.

 

I actually didn’t mind the motorways. They’re usually safe whenever people aren’t being nut jobs. The main issue I had was crossing into oncoming traffic when turning. That was always terrifying, but I got used to it after a few months. By the time you’ve been driving a few years, almost nothing phases you... that you’re used to, anyway.

Traffic always sucks. Same with leaving some parking lots. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t complain or even fear those situations.

 

You will get used to it in no time at all.

 

Well with 20+ years driving under my belt I can say this at first it was strange to be in a car by myself driving. My driving instructer was never to nice he was always finding fault but I passed the road and written test . driving alone is diffrent at first you will get used to it by the way I hate heavy traffic and I have been driving a lot longer then you have been alive. You are probly doing a lot better driving than what your mind is telling you stick with it your doing fine
