How to learn how to drive
It made me
happy
 "Driving is so cool that if I knew it before I would be a race car driver."
How I did it: I went to a driving school and signed up for driving lessons. I tried my best to be super concentrated but when I took my first test I just failed! Then my teacher told me to toke 3 lessons the days before the test and I went well!
Lessons & tips: Try to take at least 3 lessons the day before your test and try to be confident and forget about the evaluator.

How I did it: I was scared something silly when I went for my road test. However, when I sat behind the wheel and started, it all went away. I suggest learning from someone who is critical & tough so that you'll be used to the situation. It helped me ignore the tester next to me. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I love to drive...I drive cars every day...I have driven everything from street cars, drag cars, to road race cars. I can't get enough...all this has given me the patience to drive slowly and not kill anyone in everyday traffic :) Read how I did it…

competent
How I did it: I never had anything to practice on or anyone to teach me. So now at 22, I came back home from a hiatus at school and my dad bought me a Honda Civic to drive. I cannot even believe that I can go places now but Ican and it is the awesomeness!!! Still haven't quite mastered the highway yet... Read how I did it…

Powerful!
How I did it: I took classes during the summer. It was scary at first, but eventually, you just learn. And the examiner was really nice! He was pretty encouraging, and definitely not mean. Read how I did it…

Yey!!
How I did it: Honestly, the thought of driving scares me still but I did learn. I enrolled in a good driving school and attend every class and practice on weekends. I did learn how to drive but learning doesn't stop there. Now I wishI have my own car so I can really practice more! Read how I did it…

It’s been quite a while since i’ve been on this site and I have since gotten my Driver’s Licence!! Woop!! The best thing I’ve done to date! The freedom…
Why this is on my list
4 months ago
Mainly because my parents keep bugging me about it… but also because I know they are right—it is a useful skill to have. It’s just, learning to drive is so expensive, and cars here are horribly expensive… it’s much more realistic to plan to ride a motorbike than to own a car, especially at my age and where I’m at in life. But I guess at the end of the day, I do think it would be worthwhile having a driving license. Eventually.

Practice driving

A little more practice, I will get it.
Points to remember always:
- Match the gear with the speed. Always have presence of mind. [i]Yesterday I forgot to switch the gear to first when I was about to take a right turn. And I was in 3rd gear![/i].
- Always slow down at humps. Use neutral gear and use momentum to move you further.
- Don’t come near the vehicle when going down.
- Don’t make late/wide turns.
- Always slow down at intersections.
- Driving at an incline needs the boost from the balance of the engaged clutch and gas.

I really cannot wait until I can drive.
I haven’t had anyone to teach me which is why I’m much older than a lot of people wanting to do this. I am currently 21, and not being able to drive has ruined a lot of chances for me. I’m tired of depending on others to go places, so this is definitely one thing that I am going to work on ASAP.

Just got my driver's license

After 6 months!
I’ve been so busy and wasn’t able to practice. But during the practical exam, I still passed it.
Now, I can’t wait to see the actual license… tomorrow. :-)
Hmm… when can I practice again? Sure, this is a good motivation.
So much anxiety about driving
5 months ago
I’m a 32 year old female and I’ve never had my drivers license. I have two children and one of them is Autistic. I have been behind the wheel about 9 0r 10 times and each time I’m so unsure of myself. I’m never behind the wheel for long and I’ve never ever been on the freeway. I’m so tired of aleays asking people to take me where I need to go. It’s so frustrating> I don’t know why I feel like I won’t be able to pay attention to everything there is to pay attention to. Everybodies driving so fast and you have to respond so quick to every situation, it makes me feel like having a panic attack just talking about it. Where does this come from and why me. I’ve even bought cars for other people to get me around. I keep getting my permit but just can’t take that drivers test cause I feel like I might do something crazy and just let go of the wheel or stop in the middle of the street. And I surely can’t imagine going 65-70 miles on a freeway. What am I to do know one understands? And I feel crazy.

This bites. I took drivers ed.
My mom did the parent class.
I did 6 driving lessons out of the 8. They said to save the last 2 until right before I go for my license.
I only have about 15 of my 40 hours done.
I reallyreallyreally want my license before I turn 18. =[
I don’t think it’s going to happen.
