Am meeting up with a small group of friends soon for afternoon tea and catch up.
The venue selected is about 25 miles from me; the major part of that journey is on one of the busiest motorways in the country.
I'm a relatively inexperienced driver. I use my car daily on my own but it's all town driving, with some dual carriageway. I have driven a couple of times briefly on the motorway but I've always had someone with me.
I've never driven to this place and I am apprehensive. I've offered to car share with another friend (they drive to me, then I drive) but they've said they've got some errands to run so are going early. The others going are travelling from other directions, so are further from me than the venue.
My DP doesn't have any plans and would happily accompany me in the car, or indeed drive me if I preferred (but I'd like to try the drive for my own confidence) DP gets on well with my friends but I don't want to be the person who always brings her partner along....
That said I'm really apprehensive about doing the drive on my own if I don't. Wwyd?
