How was your first time driving?

I was nervous also - I remember for awhile I gripped the steering wheel way too tight - I guess to make sure I stayed in my lane - relaxed the grip and it went much better - since you’re a new driver, please remember your number one job is to drive the car - don’t let anything (that bottle rolling off the seat - a distraction) or you see a friend across the way and wave (not paying attention as you pull out - and get broadsided) - along with that - watch the other car (driving defensively) and expect them to do the wrong thing - I think these help you stay safe…Take care !!

Well, I’ve grown up around horses.. so I’ve had to drive Mules (kind of vehicle), golf carts, and barn trucks around for years before I was able to get my license. I LOVE driving.. never tense or scared. Even getting on the freeways here in LA didn’t make me nervous. It really depends on the kind of person you are. Here, you can’t get around if you can’t drive. Few things are within walking distance. I guess it’s just become so pounded into my brain that it’s something I HAVE to do, that it never bothered me. I think you’ll find that you’re tense at first, but you’ll ease up. Especially once you have your license and can be on your own.. won’t feel like there’s someone looking over your shoulder watching your every move. Annnd of course down the road driving will BORE YOU!
