How do i get over my nerves in my driving lessons? I've had loads of lessons and still get butterflies?

Question

Driving lesson nerves

Answer 1

answer yourself to the question

"why you deserve to have the driving lesson"

and obv you need to show that you deserve the licence.

that way, it makes you think why you like to be driving. then makes you focus on learning how to drive.

I was like that first. I was terrible. trust me, if i can drive, anyone can drive.

Answer 2

Just maintain your confidence - keep telling youself 'You can do this' and before you know it driving a car is like tying your shoelaces!  Just breathe and enjoy the ride!

Answer 3

Take your car to an empty parking lot and practice driving around the lot for about 4 or 5 hours.  Believe me, you will get bored.  You can't be bored and anxious at the same time.

Practice makes perfect.

Answer 4

Try not to worry too much when i had my LGV test i stopped several times to compose myself  as my nerves were affecting my asthma really badly, the examiner will allow you to stop if you need too just make sure that when you do stop that you do everything correctly, you may be able to get something from the doctors to help with your nerves too.  

Good luck!

I passed by the way

Answer 8

Remain Calm!

Relax!

Driving can be a fun experience. Think of it as coloring a coloring book, you cant go out the lines.

If that still doesnt help then you may need to go to a thearapist. I know that sounds crucial but hey if it helps then it helps.
