Has anyone learnt to drive this late on?
I’ve been too anxious.

My mum learnt in her 60s
She’d hardly ever been in a car either as my dad didn’t drive

She was fine
Passed third time and loved the independence

Good luck 🤞

I'm learning at 39! Tried many years ago in a manual and it put me off massively. Now learning in an automatic and I'm almost ready for my test.

Do it!!!

I learnt and passed at 40!
Automatic and never regretted it.
If I can you can too 😊

I’m learning at 42. Automatic is a game changer. Loving it and hopefully ready for my test soon.
