Is it normal to feel I’ll never learn how to drive?

[Mishthefish]

Yes I also felt scared and nervous about this. Funny thing is I drove very well but whenever I went to try out for my license I stressed so much that I ended up making mistakes and ended up not getting my license. So after the second time of not getting my license I told myself to stop stressing and to just believe in myself > and third time around I got my license. Everyone feels insecure when trying something new > but keep practicing 😁 you’ve got this !

It’s normal. I didn’t get my license until I was 22 because I got bad anxiety driving. & then I totaled my car 3 months after getting my license lol. But take your time, it’s not as scary as it seems and the more you practice, it will seem more and more natural.

It’s very normal. But what people don’t talk about the common fears, anxiety, and stress about driving a car. Is not the car itself. But the factors of TRYING to drive a car. The independence of it.

The factors that get in the way are:

1. ourselves-cause of excitement and anxiety.

2. family members-our parents multiple personality disorders of how, when, and where we can practice our driving skills. That yeah, there will be arguments during the coarse of time.

3. beginning to practice with overly cautious situations. There are times a panic attack happens.

4. Dealing with idiots who are more advanced in driving. But cut you off or create dangerous traffic.

5. Dealing with your first interaction of a police officer and a ticket.

6. Trying to pass the test to get your license.

7. Overly strict driving instructor.

Then once you think it’s all over and you have your independence. You still have to deal with 3-4 in life.

So if you think you are missing out and think you are alone and this, you’re not. We were all in your situation but some worse, who knows.

If a person cannot drive, it doesn’t make them any less.

Well, it's not easy because it needs the coordination of the whole body but persistence os what'll help. So yeah it is normal. But don't give up. Keep trying. My sister had also wanted to learn driving but the fear of crashing made her stop learning altogether and she never learnt again. Of course today driving isn't a very important thing but knowing it has it's own benefits. You can help yourself, family and friends. Keep trying.

Feeling has nothing to do with doing.

You feel happy, you feel sad, you feel angry, you feel afraid.

What emotion is going to make a car go? Or stop? Or turn?

Your foot makes the car stop and go, and your hands make it turn or go straight.

Did you ever learn how to do anything, or are you waiting for the right feeling to come along?

It’s very easy once you learn the basics and find someone that will teach you how to drive in a good way. Then be confident in your driving skills and there’s no shame or anything if you start driving slowly until you get better and can drive good. Don’t be scared or nervous and in no time you will be a professional driver.

If you live in New York City, it is socially acceptable. This is also the only place in the United States where it's acceptable. Everywhere else, no. Huge negative actually if you are on the west coast

Its fine if you really want to learn you would of been knowing trust me i basicly though myself. My first car was an x cop car very fast but i never crashed it. driving is easier than getting up in the morning thats for sure but it takes lots on timing, measuring, and control For me sounds strange but you have to become one with the car sometimes when parallel parking.

[lightbulb27]

dont think so, why would you feel that way? thats hopeless thinking, or realistic.

[sp33d]

Try harder and stop making excuses. It's not that difficult. Once you have your license you can get an automatic so you have to only steer, accelerate and use the brakes.

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah but then I won't learn to drive
I'm unable to drive because I'm uninsurable

[JosyJosy]

It's 'normal' to me if you simply don't need a car to get to the places you wanna go

[Abbielouise07]

It took 5 years on and off to learn how to drive. The solution? Drive automatic.

[Ryfyle]

It's not. You need to get your head checked, you might have some serious Psychological issues if you can't handle something so simple.

Now I see why Saudi didn't allow women to drive
