Overcome my fear of driving

Today, when we left the church my brother gave me the car keys and told me to drive. I started shaking like a leaf but I went behind the wheel;
All the time, I thought I was going to hit every single car on the road… I kept on saying “I am scared, I am scared” ...I wanted to stop the car anywhere and let him drive.
I knew that it was really dangerous to stop the car in the middle of the boulevard, so I kept on driving and we made it home safely!
Tomorrow, I will try to drive on a longer distance. I know how to drive, and I really have to overcome this fear. And I will.

Today was a good day!

About 10 years ago, I started taking my first driving lessons. While I was still learning, I hit a biker: he wasn’t injured, but since then I am scared of driving and I am scared of cars; I feel like they are impossible to control.

I am about to turn 30, I still don’t drive and don’t have a driving license;
I’ve decided to have a driving license next year and overcome my fear of driving by taking driving classes and practicing. Unfortunately, I use all kind of excuses to avoid actually taking driving classes or going behind the wheel when I can…
So I need your words of encouragement and if anyone can share their experience with me, please do so…
