Did learning how to drive come naturally to you?

[JaxiCats]

Me and my boyfriend are both learning how to drive and he seems completely calm with it even tho he’s pretty heavy on the gas if the speed limit allows it. I’m more cautious and awkward about it. My big concern is that I won’t be ready for my driver’s test. I’ve had my learner’s permit way longer than my boyfriend and in fact it expires next year and I’m worried that I won’t have enough confidence or anything to pass.

Well, caution is good. Vehicles are powerful and heavy. You can easily hurt yourself or someone else if you’re not careful. I suspect driver examinations score cautious drivers better than those who might be overly confident. I recommend more practice with a variety of teachers just to gain confidence, but don’t worry too much about being overly cautious. As far as i’m concerned, we could use more cautious drivers out here, or none at all.

It’s just I’m learning in a truck and my turns are kinda wide sometimes (it’s getting better) but It doesn’t help that the truck’s steering wheel isn’t aligned

Don't compare yourself to anyone. Everyone has their own style. Just keep practicing and study the manual and you got this.

It upsets me tho when he drives. He drove earlier today (after having said he didn’t want to) it’s upsets me cuz I had my learner’s permit for longer and yet I have less time than him. I feel like shit cuz I should be happy for him but I’m not cuz I feel like I’m so behind and that I’ll never catch up

read what i just wrote. Do not compare yourself with anyone. Concentrate on yourself.

[JaxiCats]

That’s hard to do when all I feel like is shit

@JaxiCats okay- everyone had different things they excel in. That does not mean that you cannot learn this important skill. Just practice and study for the test. You will do fine.

Thanks for the advice

Yes it comes from experience. I wasn’t really comfortable with driving up until there wasn’t pressure to pass a drivers test

[JaxiCats]

I had day dreams where I would get into a car crash

No, i had to take many lessons, but i started late (34years old) if you are younger you learn faster.
