Driving Frets?

Question

Hi, I'm still a teenager but I'm really worried about driving. I want to drive myself around and my friends as well but just getting into a driver's seat scares me. I am not very fast at reacting so I'm afraid of accidents. I am a pretty slow learner so I am afraid of people being angry at me and blowing horns at me. I have NO idea how to drive even after reading the manual. The lights confuse me (like what does two green lights mean?), I don't know when to turn, how to turn, how much to turn the steering wheel to turn, and alot more. When do I look at the vertical light like this : O

O

O

and when do I look at the horizontal light : O O O

I'm extremely scared of driving. Can somebody suggest me some tips?

Also, does can anybody tell me briefly the important things to know so I can pass the Learner's Test?

Thanks so much in advance.

Answer 1

A SCARED DRIVER IS A DANGEROUS DRIVER!! SO THAT'S NOT GOOD...YOU CAN'T BE GOOD AT ANYTHING IF YOUR SCARED OF IT.

DID SOMETHING SPECIFIC HAPPEN TO SCARE YOU?

Answer 2

Being worried about driving is common in those newly behind the wheel. And it's understandable: you are now in control of an object weighing a ton or more.

A good idea would be to go with responsible adults (your parents, relatives, etc) to a rural area or an abandoned parking lot. This will give you plenty of space to practice with little to no traffic.

For two green lights, I believe I know what you are referring to. You may be referring to a green circular light directly above or beside a green arrow. The arrow indicates that you have a protected turn, and that once the protected turn ends (the arrow goes from green, to yellow, then disappears) it will be a turn-after-yielding to oncoming traffic.

In reference to looking at vertical or horizontal lights, look at the one that is intended for your lane. There should be one set of 3 lights per lane. Sometimes the turn lane will have 4 lights (which includes the above-mentioned protected turn arrow).

I cannot possibly give you all the info you need (turning degrees, etc), so you will need to study more. I have included sources for you to follow.

Answer 3

just practice alot.

dont get behind the wheel by yourself untill you feel comfortable!
