Am I the oly one who is nervous about driving?

Question

All the kids or teens I know are so so ecstatic about driving they just cannot wait to get a car! But I am 15 about to turn 16 and soon will be getting lessons and I am nervous! I am not as excited as everyone else... I am a little cautious and I think hard like what if I press the peddl and it is weak and speeds up too fast lol! Or what if I get distracted lol.... IDK but I am happy I will be able to be like an adult but why am I so scared and nervouse and everyone else is excited and anxious????

Answer 1

NO.  You ain't the only one.

Plenty of people ask about being nervous HERE.

Good Luck...

Answer 2

i can understand why you are nervous. when you think about it, driving is a big responsibility. not only do you have to watch out for yourself, but you have to watch out for other people. just make sure that you learn as much as you can. if you go with the flow, it usually works out well. don't force anything and you should be fine.

Answer 3

Answer 5

I know how you feel... I'll have my actual license within a month, and everyone I know was so excited about driving. But I wasn't... that's probably why I put off doing it (I'm 17 and still have one more lesson before I can get my license...!).

I do regret procrastinating though.... it's SO annoying to have little sophomores driving to school while you have to still drive with an adult. Once you get over the initial stage of being freaked out, you should do fine. Just pray you don't get a stressed-out yelling instructor plus a jackrabbit-acceleration car on your first lesson... that's what happened to me. Worst two hours of my life.

Answer 6

im realllllly nervous to start driving tooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Answer 7

You will be fine, most people are a bit nervous at first.  h**l, I was.  The first time I tried to drive I accelerated too fast and got scared and jumped out of the friggin car.

Trust me, if the other billion people have gotten so used to it, you will too.

Answer 8

yeah i think you are

im excited to drive, ive already started and i love it

Answer 9

Everyone goes through it..about all different kinds of things

Good Luck! Youll do great

Answer 10

relax it will be ok, my friends niece came over the other day and said she failed her driving test when i asked her why this is what she said, " the instructor asked her to back out the parking lot well she backed out and kept on backing, she thought she had to back out of the entire DMV parking , lol. The lady told her stop i meant for you to just back out the parking space, that was too funny, not counting the fact that she then tried to turn left on red and almost got them in a wreck, remind me to never apply for a job @ the dmv. LOL it really happened. Make sure you don't make the same mistake or you will end up with a permit instead.

Answer 11

go use ur parents car for a lil midnight driving and get use to it ;) lol my friend did that once.....lets say running into a tree dosnt help either

Answer 12

I am like that too. I'm 17 and still get freaked out. You just have to pay attention and it will be second nature to know what to do when driving. Trust me, it'll become a lot easier, and you'll learn to think fast.

Answer 13

Absolutely not, I was terrified when I started learning to drive, I kept having panic attacks and was convinced that i was going to kill myself in some horrible accident, but after I started driving it started getting better. Also my little brother is 20 and he's STILL afraid of driving. Just take it at your own pace, the more you drive with someone else in the car the more experience you'll get and the more the anxious feeling will decrease, I promise it goes away you just have to do it! Good luck!

Answer 14

Well I think it's kind of normal... when they gave me my car I was kind of "oh my God i won't be able to even blink when i drive" cause i thought i would not be able to concetrate in other thing that driving, made me scared thinking about all those cars and all the trafic... and well I was pretty nervous... the first week its about being cautious, but from then on you start getting confidence on yourself and drive in a more free way... I can tell you, its cool to drive, even if it makes you being scared the first time.

Answer 15

yes you are the only one

the rest of us are too 1337 to be worrying about sh*t

Answer 16

dude just relax. i'm about to start driving too and i can't wait, i think confidence is the key
