I'm taking a driver's ed class. I got my class portion done with, and now I have to go through four driving sessions to pass and get my license. I took one of my sessions almost two weeks ago and it didn't go so well. I was really nervous. I kept using the brake and was so nervous being around the instructer. I'm fine when Im in the car with my parents, but when I was with the driving instructer (knowing he was watching my ever move and how well i was doing) I got really nervous. My next session is on Monday and Im extremely paranoid about it. I know im good enough to pass the class because I know the basics and drive all the time, but I have some issues with driving and being graded on my driving. Does anyone have any advice on how to be more relaxed while im with the instructer? Please...any advice will be greatly appreciated =]
Just try to stay positive make sure you get in as many hours of driving as you can with Mom and Dad. The day of your test just try to relax don't over think it I drank some water to help my nerves and it really helped! Just get in the car and do everything he tells you to do and study one more time before the final test. It's normally just very quick it's different in every state but my test was no longer than 5 minutes! Just stay positive and you will pass with no problem!

But you said yourself, you know what you're doing! Just be confident in front of the instructor too! Trust me, he understands that the students get a little bit nervous. As long as you aren't veering off the roads, you can't be that bad! As far as hitting the brakes a lot, I did that! Just stay calm, breathe easy, and try not to stress! Cuz it's your nerves making you hit the brakes, not your driving skills. Good luck hun!! =] [ AEangel589's advice column | Ask AEangel589 A Question ]
