Why I Dread Driving (And How I'm Trying to Cope)

Honestly, I just hate driving. Every part of it stresses me out, and no matter how much I try, I can't seem to get over it. My G2 test is coming up at the end of the month, and backup parking still feels impossible. My mom keeps telling me to practice, and I know she's right, but I keep putting it off. The pressure gets worse when I think about my future—how can I be a paramedic if I can't even enjoy driving? It feels like everyone else finds it easy, and I'm the only one struggling. If anyone has tips for making driving less scary or more tolerable, please share! How did you get over your fear of driving?

When Failing Driving Tests Feels Like the End of the Road

Hi. I’m almost 18 and honestly, I’m exhausted. Since last July, I’ve been grinding through driving lessons and test after test. Five tries in, and each one just makes me want to quit more. Today, a rainstorm hit right as my test started, and I knew my luck was shot. Six hours a week behind the wheel feels like torture. Every time I think I’m close, disappointment hits harder. But I realized I’m not alone—lots of people struggle. Taking a break, talking to someone who gets it, or even just venting can help. Don’t be afraid to step back and breathe.

Feeling Alone in My Driving Journey: Why Support Matters

Sometimes I feel completely isolated when it comes to learning how to drive. I always try to get extra help, hoping it’ll make things easier, but honestly, it never really does. My family acts like they get it, but their comments—like reminding me that younger kids drive with no problem—just make me feel worse. It’s tough when you’re the only one struggling, but I’ve learned that finding a patient instructor and setting small, realistic goals can help. If you’ve been there, how did you cope?

Struggling With 90° Turns: My Driving Journey So Far

Learning to drive at 34 has been way harder than I expected, especially when it comes to making sharp 90° turns. Every time I approach a corner, I worry I’ll turn too late or too sharply. Everyone keeps telling me to use the power steering, but when I’m going slow, it just doesn’t feel right. I end up throwing the wheel and feeling like I’m about to crash. What really helps is practicing in an empty parking lot, focusing on turning the wheel before I reach the corner. It’s okay to go slow and take your time. Anyone else struggle with this? Let’s share tips and support each other! #DrivingStruggles #LearningToDrive #RealLifeDriving #Cars

Booking a Driving Test? Good Luck!

Trying to book a driving test in the UK right now is wild—some people are waiting nearly 20 weeks just to get a slot! Learners are getting kicked off the site, bots are snatching up test dates, and some are paying double just to secure a spot. Even instructors are struggling to find available times for their students. The government says they’ll add more tests, but with examiner shortages, who knows if it’ll help? Anyone else stuck in this driving test nightmare? #DrivingTest #UKLearners #TestBacklog #DrivingStruggles #Relatable #Transportation

Driving Test Waits Just Got Longer 😬

If you’re waiting to book your driving test, brace yourself—those long waits aren’t ending anytime soon. The government’s plan to clear the backlog is running up to 8 months late, even with 10,000 extra tests a month. Some test centres have 24-week waits (yikes!), and bots are snatching up slots to resell. They’re trying overtime pay and more trainers, but the seven-week wait goal won’t happen until next summer at best. Anyone else feeling stuck on L plates forever? #DrivingTest #Backlog #LearnerDriver #UKNews #DrivingStruggles #Transportation

Why Does Driving in the US Feel Like a Daily Battle?

Oh. My. God. US drivers suck. No matter how careful I am, every commute feels like a test of patience and nerves. Tailgaters, lane hogs, and people who cut you off are everywhere. My 40-minute drive home is a gauntlet of bad decisions and near misses. It’s honestly exhausting. Lately, I’ve started leaving a bit earlier and using calming playlists to keep my cool. My advice? Give yourself extra time, stay alert, and don’t take it personally when someone acts like a jerk. How do you handle the chaos on American roads?

Why Does Merging Always Make My Heart Race?

I ended up squeezing in at the last second, feeling flustered and a bit embarrassed. I’ve learned that getting into the right lane early is a lifesaver. Checking traffic and signaling ahead of time has helped me avoid last-minute stress. Anyone else have merging nightmares?

Why Getting My License at 20 Feels So Overwhelming

I’m 20 and still don’t have my license, and honestly, it’s tough to admit. My first driving test was a disaster—my mind just went blank, even after 12 lessons. The second time, I forgot the safety checks I always do in practice. Now, my permit is close to expiring, and the pressure from my family is real. If you’re in the same spot, don’t beat yourself up. Take a breather, talk things over with your instructor, or switch up your routine. Sometimes it’s not just you—it’s the nerves or the situation. Anyone else feeling stuck?
