Driving fears

[Coffeedoodles]

Hey everyone, I passed my driving test August of last year and am still nervous whenever I get behind the driving wheel. Any car journey longer than 10 mins / to a place I've not been to many times gives me so much anxiety!

How long did it take you before you felt comfortable behind the wheel / any tips?

Just keep driving, little and often. Don't worry about duration or distance, just get in the car and drive.

I was an anxious mess driving (long period not driving prior to that) but having a job where I had to commute to work was the making of me. Honestly, the more I've driven the less anxious I've got but you do have to work through the anxiety and just get in the car.
