Navigating Parental Pressure as a New Driver: My Honest Experience

Learning to drive with my dad in the passenger seat is honestly more stressful than the road itself. Every time I get confused about directions—especially since his instructions mix two languages—he grabs the wheel and yells, making me even more anxious. Using GPS only adds fuel to the fire, as both my parents insist I should memorize every route. I wish they understood that new drivers need patience, not pressure. My advice? Stay calm, set boundaries, and don’t be afraid to ask for space or solo practice. If you’ve been through this, how did you handle it?
