Answer 1

sounds like you think your a better driver than you are.....

Answer 2

Don't stress about it, eventually you will pass the test.

Answer 3

well just drive .. the more you drive the less nervous you will be. if you have a friend with a drivers license.. and of course have your learners permit .. then go for a drive..  before you know it..it will be easy  and stress free.. if you over think something then it will always make you nervous.  get out of the city  where traffic is not so bad or at least  stay out of rush hour traffic .. will help too.

Answer 4

Practice, practice practice.

If you can be out every day or whenever a car is available, drive slowly through your neighborhood.

Practice your left turn and right turn, observe signs etc. Next go out on some Avenues, that are not to busy.

If you can start out early in the morning when it is not to busy. you need to practice parking at the parking meters, or in the back of the stores parking lots.

Sunday morning early is good time to be out driving , most people are in Church. and you will have time to see and observe signs and things on the road without having to drive very fast and have other drivers next to you.

Going to a Mall very early before they are open, you will also find the road to be much easier to drive without having much traffic to be concerned about.

It takes a little time to adjust to the speed , soon you will get used to it as we all did.

Safe driving, and soon you will be familiar with the routes you will be using most and know the signs to observe.

Once you are at ease, you can even turn on the radio, and have some soothing music.....

Answer 5

Pretend it is like a game don't think about how you are going to fail be positive...don't be shy and don't go off and man handle the steering wheel...you will do fine I have faith in you.

Answer 6

That is built into the test. You can't be nervous when you drive. Even if you have the skills and know all the laws, if you're nervous you'll fail as they don't want you on the road that way.

Eventually you won't be so nervous and will (maybe) pass!

Good luck.
