Hi
I had another driving test today and failed. Third. Been learning since Sep. Clocked up about 60 hrs of lessons now.
We live somewhere now where it is pretty imperative I drive. I am gutted I got myself into this situation, as the will to pass just isn't there despite the circumstances.
I was involved in a serious car accident when I was a child and have been working on my fear of driving...tbh I get very anxious still before driving and I feel stressed at thought of my kids in the car with me.
Today was an utter farce. 10 minors, two serious and one dangerous fault. Worst one yet. What pisses me off is everyone keeps pushing me on..my husband and family..."you've improved so much!" "More practice = more confidence!" Etc etc.
I think it is more complicated and deep rooted....essentially I never wanted to learn and am annoyed I am now in a situation where I have to. I don't enjoy it and I don't seem to be any less anxious.
My instructor says I am a good driver who gets nervous in exam conditions. I think I have ok days and totally shit days.
I'm now looking at rentals in another area. AIBU to say look, I gave it my best but I'm done? I feel it's not worth the mental stress any more.
