Question:
I passed my driving test just over a year ago and havn't drove once inbetween as i havnt been able to afford a car and couldnt get insured on anyone elses. and now i am on my boyfriends insurance and started driving again i feel quite nervous and feels like i have gone back to basics and make so so many mistakes, i keep thinking omg i have passed my test i should be able to drive- and its getting me down alot, my confidence has gone in driving but i am so desperate and used to love driving!
Wheni go out i do stupid things like driving up on the kerb and stalling lots and panicking!
I want to be put at ease that i am not the only person in the world that this has happened to and i will get my confidence back cause right now i feel like i will never be the same driver i was when i passed my test again!
Answers:

Go to a driving school and have a few refresher lessonsWho else thinks that middle schoolers should stay off the road!?
It's happened to loads of people, don't worry!Isn't there a wide open space where I can take a sports car and race it at top speed and all over?
A bit of practice somewhere quiet and you'll be back to your best, good luck!
Would anyone care to share with me their driving test experiences?
I shouldn't worry. The confidence will come back the more you do it. If you were confidence before you will be confident again.In the Northeast, which vehicle is the best in snow ?
Practice makes perfect. Take it slow. Your confidence will build as you get used to driving again. It probably wouldn't help to get a hold of your state's driving manual to remind yourself of the rules of the road. You can pick one up at your local DMV.What are typical mistakes in a road test exam?
Yep! Happens to the best o' us. Just be safe, and give yourself time to get back into the groove. Good luck!Driving is like anything else you have to pratice. New drivers just because you passed your test dont mean you are a great driver you need experience. Go drive in the country or an empty parking lot until you feel comfortable again.
Please help with new car seat law?

When a motor vehicle hits a pedestrian, why does the pedestrian always fly out of their shoes?
Could I suggest you need a short refresher course? Go back to your driving school and explain. It might be worth the fee to regain your control and confidence.Why do we turn lights "out" when we turn most other things "off"?
If you are really feeling uneasy about driving again you can always do a sort of refresher lesson with a driving instructor, may be under their supervision you will be able to build your confidence in your abilities again.Don't worry about it, everyone gets rusty is they have not been driving for awhile. Take it slow, may be for now just stick to familiar routes till you build up your confidence. Don't feel bad everyone stalls or jumps the curb once in awhile.
Do you know of someone who has been affected by drunk driving? Can you tell me about it?
No but my daughter used to try to drive off the road.My son used to drive on the wrong side of the road.Glad to say both drive with confidence.Nervousness will go
away.
In your opinion or base on your experience.....?
It all comes down to confidence. Once you know how to drive, you can 'do it'. Just take confidence in yourself and everything else will come together. You passed your test so the road is now your road. It will come back-I hated driving on my own when I passed, but believe me, the more you go out on your own, the more confident you will feel. Good luck and safe driving. And, as they say, it's like riding a bike!How do you fight a sighting that puts you at fault in a wreck?
Driving schools are not just for getting your license.If you still feel unsure or with weak confidence, go back and ask for some time as a refresher. I doubt they will do it for free, but I am sure they will do it.
Is it impossible todrive with your feet on the wheel and your hands on the pedals?
Just take your time, better slow and safe, then nervous and sorry.
Oh my god you could be describing me!! I took ages to take my test as I took lessons on and off, so I was 24 by the time I took a test and apssed (first time surprisingly). Anyway, I then moved away for a year, then broke my hip and so ended up not driving for well over a year. Then when I did, some blind ole bint drover her chelsea tractor into the back of me.
NowI live in the city and don't need a car - I commute to work by train and my boyfriend drives us places on the weekend. I am on his insurance but rarely drive - I am very nervous about the whole thing, and I too feel likeI have gone back to basics. Parking for example - reversing - motorways - eeeeeeek!!
I think trick is to just do it, little and often, building up confidence.
Anyway - you're not alone on this one!! Good luck!

How often do you look at your rear view and side mirrors when you drive?
it happens alot if you fall out of practice.Driving test in the UK, do they fail so many a day?
i just passed my motorcycle test last summer, rode a few times, and haven't ridden all winter. it will be spring soon and I know I'm not ready. I'll be going back to a large parking lot for some practice before I head out on any roads.
It's okay, nothing to worry about. You're just out of practice, that's all. That could happen to anyone.
What is your perception of police driving?
It'll come back, but if you think it'll help by all means have some more tuition, as has already been said. I expect you'll suddenly find it all comes flooding back.
Does anyone know anything about anti hoon laws? please help?
Actually, I'd say it's rather bright of you to notice and realise there's a problem, I wish some others would!
This is quite normal, if you don't practise you don't get better, & when you first start driving you need all the practice you can get.
I've just come off my motorbike does anyone know the number for an ambulance?
When you passed did the examiner mention about "pass plus" courses? This could be ideal for you, it's the next step after passing your test & is based on 6 lessons with a suitably qualified instructor. The lessons are;
Is it safe to leave the car running in the garage if the door is open?
town driving
all weather driving

The confidence you will gain from these lessons should make a tremendous difference to you & many insurance companies offer a substantial discount for completion of this course (& there's no test at the end either!)
Please give me 10 tips for fuel efficiency-buses?
Even better than this is that many local authorities are subsidising the cost of this course, look in the "discounts" section of the website.

Passing the test doesn't make you a good driver. Age and about 15-20 years of experience does.
