First of all, congratulations on getting your permit! I'm working to get mine, but due to ADD, it's a little hard for me to pay attention to my permit book. That's a big accomplisment. Out of all honesty, I'd rather sit next to a nervous driver than a relaxed driver.

Nervous drivers are more careful. Carefree drivers are more likely to do something stupid. But, you don't want to be too uptight or nervous. No one needs a panic attack behind the wheel, right?

I would agree to drive around in familiar places. Don't go on the highway just yet, steer clear of tougher or more dangerous roads until you're ready. Start out slow. Maybe you can hire someone to go driving with you until you're more relaxed behind the wheel. Or take someone more experienced.

If you can find any wooded roads nearby, that's a great place to practice! There are practically no cars there, and when there are cars, they almost always belong to someone who lives there. Trust me, I live in the woods.

Hope I could help. Feel free to stop by my advice column if need anything else, I'll do my best to help you!

Awesome. Great advice! ^^
