One time I tried to drive around my the block at my parents' house...I was doing ok until it started to rain, at that point I stopped the car in the middle of the road and cried.  Yeah, true story. Can you tell I have a real problem with driving? lol
Where are you originally from? |
I am originally from Aruba (a small island in the Caribbean). Getting your drivers license there is much easier. There is no highways there. The biggest lane there is a 2-lane 1 km long road
And they don't even test you on parallel parking (thank god, because I still cannot do that).
It's hard at first to drive tbh. You are nervous, you feel like you cannot control and you don't want to screw up. What my parents did is bring me to a supermarket parking lot and let me drive there when its dead. Then they picked a very straight road with not too many cars. When I got the hang of it I became less nervous and I was able to drive anywhere. You just need to take baby steps and than you can drive in the big places. I am not sure about here in Canada though, I got scared the one time I drove because the rules are slightly different plus no insurance here, so I was sweating. I only did it once but nothing happened. But I am sure once I drive here constantly, that will go too.
