How are you going with your driving @Aunt_Flo ?? Your story really resonated with me! I am of the same age, and have the same fears. Trying to push through those last three hours… Anyone have any tips for P’s test anxiety? :/

[Aunt_Flo]

Hey @EarthMama! Well, the 120 hours – they’re done! They’re dusted! I’m fine-tuning things like parking and then I’m good to go. Unfortunately, they don’t do testing on weekends, so I’ve got to have a day off work soon to sit down and take the test.

I’m also pretty nervous about it! 

[EarthMama]

Hello @Aunt_Flo !! This is so exciting for you! You’ve put in the hard work- so I’m sure it just comes down to trusting yourself and your instincts!
Please let me know how you go when you take the test! I will be following in your footsteps 🙂

[Aunt_Flo]

Will do! It’s next week – eep!

[NickiPower]

OMG @Aunt_Flo!!!! You’re going to do amazing on your test!

Hi Aunt_Flo, I’m exactly the same – 22 years old and still on my Ls. I have so much anxiety about driving and to be honest I’m just not ready to drive at all, I hope I get there one day though. Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. I really hope you aced your test! 

[Aunt_Flo]

@Kit it’s this Thursday – like in four days. I’m soooo nervous. Especially since a horrible report on young drivers and old cars came out today – my car is 1994. :/ But, trying not to let that get to me!

Thanks @jessica! I’ve met a lot more people our age, as well as older who don’t have their license either! The anxiety about driving is a big reason why I didn’t learn at the usual time. Right now, the practicality of driving is far outweighing the stress, though!

Omg yes, I was practising in my old car and doing the test in a fancy power-steering car was such a revelation! Lol

Hope you found a way to ease the nerves x

@Aunt_Flo SO EXCITED FOR YOU!! Any tips??

[Aunt_Flo]

@EarthMama thank you! Practice parking, and just relax I’d say! You’re allowed to make small errors and you can ask questions as you’re going along.

[Kit]

YAY!!! Go you!! B) 😀 Well done @Aunt_Flo
