Nervous about driving..?

Question

Im 16 years old and i just finished my 6 hours of driving. Although when i drove i wasnt nervous or scared...i had a fun time, but today i got my permit and my mom wanted me to show her what i learned. Problem is, as soon as i drove i was nervous because my mom kept telling me that i almost hit a standing car and when i drive i keep thinking that im gonna ride too close to the standing car, especially when theres another car coming into a tight space. What can i do about this? Thanks.

Answer 1

it seems that that you should tell your mom to stop bringing that up because thats probably whats striking your nerves

Answer 2

It's normal to feel nervous esp when you're a newbie. Your mum is a backseat driver. Ignore her. Believe in yourself. Practice makes perfect. Key to driving: ANTICIPATE. Be a defensive driver.
