Learning to Drive at 25: Facing My Fears Behind the Wheel

Starting to drive at 25 feels intimidating, especially when everyone else seems so confident. My parents never pushed me to learn, and public transit was always enough—until now. Picking up lessons again after a long break, I’m struggling with wide turns and the anxiety of busy roads. Sometimes, I get so flustered I want to pull over and reset, but I know I have to keep going. My instructor says I’m doing well, but the nerves are real!
