Driving..
Ok. Just yesterday I got my driving permit, and I'm a little nervous about driving on the bigger roads. Afraid I'm going to forget to look for signs, miss turns, etc. Anyone got any ways I can just chill and do everything I've learned without /over/doing it? Or maybe I should just start small for awhile, drive around in college lots or my own neighbourhood?

Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
you should just chill when it comes to driving. once you are one the road everything just comes to you from instinct, but you should start small for a while before you try to conqure the world

Practice going around your neighborhood alot. And go to shops that the roads are familiar to you. You should practice in parking lots for your parell parking.

Why don't u have someone come in the car with you so they can tell you if you miss something such as a sign or turn. Either that or you can be extra careful and just try to relax, turn on the radio softly.

you have to crawl before you can walk, as people say. so learn driving around your neighborhood THEN drive on main roads

I felt the same way when i got my permit but i just started slow and since its your permit, your parent will be with you so they can also make sure you are following the rules you are supposed to...when i got my lisence i was very confident and i wasnt that nervous once i got it to drive on my own...
just make sure you remember everything you are supposed to do and start off slow and gradualy get on busier roads...everyone is nervous when they start...just be confident and dont let other people on the road intimadate you...
hope this helps! good luck!!

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!

don't chill - be a bit nervous and use that as a way to keep you aware. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I mean, you don't want to be stupidly nervous, but be aware - if you're worried about missing signs, turns, etc... then hopefully you'd be more mindful of signs, turns, other drivers, etc. And that, my friend, is a good thing.
