I'm almost seventeen and i still can't drive. what's wrong with me?

Question

i waited until i was sixteen to get my permit, but now i freak out whenever i get on the road with other cars. i think i would be okay if i wasn't with anyone, but when i'm with my older brothers or dad, i can't think. i forget to use blinkers, and forget my left from my right, and just completely go blank. how do i get over this? i really want to be able to drive! it's really embarrassing to have your parents drop you off and pick you up from everything when you're almost seventeen.

help? please.

Answer 1

get that d**k out of your mouth. and that one in your asss. oops, don't forget about the two in your ears!

Answer 2

Why would you feel embarrassed, to me you sound like you are just no ready and if you think about it, it sounds like you are a very smart person and when the time is right you will know, for the meantime forget what everyone one might think.

Answer 3

i didn't pass my automatic test until i was 18.  i'm almost 25 and only just passed on a manual a few weeks back!

find yourself an approved driving school and get lessons with someone who'll help you assess what you need to improve, and take you round some quiet roads.  learning only with family members gets very frustrating.

Answer 4

You apparently panic or feel self-concious when those you know and wish to please are around.   It may be best if you sign up with a perfect stranger at a driving school,  where the pressure wouldn't be felt.    

On a couple occasions,  I have come across truck driving couples where one was feeling pressure from the more experienced spouse to be perfect.   The pressure was an added burden,  and when I would distract the spouse the problem would be solved.

Answer 5

Take drivers ed if they offer it in your school, it may help you in your situation.

Answer 6

Hello, you need to get used to your parents to take you every place and make sure you ware a safety belt and your helmet......otherwise you going to kill yourself and who knows how many others......
