Brief background info - I’m 36, from the UK, and I’ve never really had the urge to drive, mainly due to a lack of interest. Although recently, I’ve found myself intrigued by the learning process and probably for the first time in my life, I’m seriously thinking about lessons.
I have no worries about learning the actual motor skills (pardon the pun) of driving, as I know I’ll get the hang of it rather quickly - that part is fine. My worry is that I’ll do something completely idiotic on a roundabout, travel the wrong way down a one way road, or have a meltdown on a complex junction and bring the entire world to a complete standstill.
I know everyone probably goes through similar thoughts at some stage, and the process of learning will sort me out… but for those people who learned to drive later in life, or perhaps had zero belief they would ever cope on the roads… when did you feel like you gained that confidence?
Did everything click at a certain point during the course of your lessons? Did you pass your test and still not fully believe you knew what you were doing? Are you going through all of this right now?
Any experiences and thoughts welcome…
