I have been learning to drive (in an automatic, had to give up on manual) for over a year. I have taken two tests and failed them both, one due to an emergency stop (not quick enough) and the other due to not overtaking a bus and also for leaving my indicator on (which I have never done once in lessons!).
My lessons stopped due to covid but are about to start again.
But my main problem with driving is something that I feel it is going to be nigh on impossible to overcome. Namely concentration. I am so shit at concentrating. Even when I think I'm being really focussed I get easily distracted and can make stupid mistakes. I am also really dreadful at judging distance - I can't tell when it's safe to overtake. This means that I generally get marked down for not overtaking, because I don't trust myself to judge the distance safely. I don't feel that I can take my eyes off the road for a minute to quickly glance over my shoulder to check.
I feel like there's something wrong with me as everyone else I've spoken to who has struggled with learning to drive has struggled for different reasons - like being crap at parking or not being able to get the hang of roundabouts. I can do all that no bother but my judgment and focus are awful.
How do I get over this? Has anyone else had the same problem? I'm starting to feel I have something wrong with me.
