Am starting my driving lessons?

Question

and am really nervous for some reason. i don't get nervous about anything really but I'm like do i go or do i cancel it. what do you do first lesson? because i don't really want to dive in the deep end and get behind the wheel straight away. and why am i being so nervous?

Answer 1

just listen to the instructor pay attention and I'm sure you will do great !

Answer 2

Most problems are pshycilogical. My friend failed 3 times because he was nervous and he told himself everyday that he wouldn't pass.. until i told him to take his mind off it.

My mother used to tell me to eat 2 banana the night before, two before the test and then tell her how i felt after the driving lesson. It worked mostly because i was more concerned about the banana's than the driving lesson.

There isn't anything to worry about because the instructor has a clutch and brake next to  his foot so he can take control at any time. All you have to worry about is the energy bills going up!

Answer 3

as an instructor i take all my new pupils to a quiet area and explain all the controls to them before they even start the engine. it normally takes bout 20 Min's before they move away. Remember instructors have controls and are ust to to nervous pupils if you think they are going to quick for you then ask them to slow down same goes if you don't understand anything don't  be scared to ask if you instructors any good then they will go at your speed Don't give up and don't go thinking that you will get everything right first lesson

Answer 4

Well, normally your driving instructor will drive out somewhere quiet then ask you to sit in the driver seat with the engine off. They should talk you through the basics and ask you what you already know about the car/driving e.g. where is the hand brake, what do the pedals do etc. There's really no need to get all anxious. Just go with the flow. My instructor let me drive the car on a quiet road for a little while then asked me to continue down the road through traffic lights etc! i was nervous. But, your instructor will only do this if they think your ready for it. Just get stuck in, its the best way! Good Luck! P.S try rescue remedy from Holland and Barret's if your really nervous. put a couple of drops under your tongue before you go out, helps calm you.

Answer 5

I think everyone gets nervous when embarking on driving lessons. DONT CANCEL, you will be sorry in the future. The guy sitting next to you has controls over the car (a break etc.) so nothing is going to happen if you don't do as well as you'd like the first few lessons. GO FOR IT!

Answer 6

Don't be nervous, just pay attention to the road and signs and you will have too much to do to be worried.
