Overcoming Driving Anxiety: How I Finally Passed My Road Test
I let my permit expire at 18 because driving made me so anxious. On my 19th, I finally decided to face my fears and scheduled my road test. Practicing parking maneuvers helped, but I was still super nervous. Parallel parking took two tries, but I nailed it the second time! The road test itself was way less scary than I expected, even though I forgot to signal once and got honked at.
What really helped was telling my instructor I was anxious—he chatted with me the whole time, which made things easier. Remember, they’re looking for safe, controlled driving, not perfection. Take deep breaths, relax your muscles, and trust your practice. If you’re nervous about your test, you’re not alone! Share your own experiences or tips below!
