To ask for tips for driving in the early days when just passed your test. I am scared

[Witchofzog]

So I passed my driving test last week in my forties. Never thought it would happen. And today I test drove a second hand car but I was petrified. I had dp in the car who is not a good passenger and I just thought "How am I going to do this from now on?". I know what to do but I think it's the thought of being totally and utterly responsible with no dual controls and no one to ask for advice.

Can anyone please give me any early days tips. Will music help to calm me? Should I aim to drive a little each day on familiar roads to build my confidence? Should I get some P plates? Any advice at all will be welcome

Thank you

Congratulations!
Drive as much as possible!

Drive regularly, like everyday, even a small journey you will learn something new as conditions change all the time. Drive at night (it can be something people avoid). Tell your dp to keep schtum, though I hate driving with DH as a passenger.
