I am female, 16 and have my permit. I want my licence so bad, I want to go out and do things without my parents. Now, I'm not afraid to drive as much as I'm afraid that I'll get hurt or worse, hurt someone else. I don't know why, but I think about that and I feel like I never want to get my licence. But I want to be able to drive on my own I just have a big fear holding me back and I don't know how to get rid of it! Any ideas to help me get over this fear and just go do it, just go out and drive? Thanks
I turned sixteen this year and at first I felt the same way you were. I hated driving because it wasn't a precise thing. Also the other drivers on the road I have learned aren't very... focused.
What I have to keep in my head every time I drive is that there is nothing I can do more than to just keep on my side of the road and break when I see another car. Now this works for me because I live out in the country and since then ( a couple months of driving now) I have really improved, I no longer look in my mirror to see the yellow line, I do the speed limit and I rarely stop when I meet another car.
The thing is you can't do anything more then your best. Always keep to your side of the road. That's my main advice, with practice you'll learn its not that hard and will increasingly become more confident with your driving.
As for parents, they are there, whether we want them to or not. At first my dad and mom would have to tell me exactly what to do ( got on my last nerve) but they DO know more about driving then me. But now they hardly say anything now that I have learned how and in a few more months I'll get my license, just like you will. For now put up with your parents and just try to take their advice.
