AIBU to think I'm going to find it hard to pass my driving test now?

I'm mid thirties. One of those pretend grown ups Grin who never passed their test. Failed twice when I was 18 then moved to London where having a car seemed frankly pointless and non affordable and only moved out last year.
I now have a baby DS and really bitterly regret not returning to it
I'm worried I'm going to find it so much harder to learn now, and I was an anxious driver anyway.
Plus sitting in a contained space with a driving instructor probably isn't going to be the best idea for a while, I'm thinking.

I feel like I've missed the boat.
Am wondering whether an intensive course would work.

I posted on the other thread about regretting driving and it's got me thinking about it crossly again

My friend just passed hers and she's mid 30s. She drives round in her Land Rover now, happy as Larry!

Having had two kids, one of which learnt to drive normally and one that did an intensive course, my advice would be to do a semi intensive course. Book your test then use an instructor to work backwards from that date over about a month. Start off with two or three 3 hour lessons in the first week then increase/ decrease the hours each week leading up to the test. Practice at home too.
