Hi all, hope you're having a nice Fri evening. So, I've started learning to drive (in an automatic). I've passed the theory and have my practical already booked for early February (I was advised to do this by my instructor, due to the long wait times currently for tests). I'd like to ask when it all starts to feel easier? My first lesson went well, we just drove around an industrial estate and I felt quite confident. My second lesson, he had me driving on actual roads with actual other cars 😂 and it was pretty terrifying! I was concentrating so hard on driving the actual car that remembering to stay in the correct position in the road, check mirrors, indicate etc felt like so much to take in. I also panicked a bit going past parked cars incase I hit them and struggled to understand the layout of the road and where I was meant to be. My instructor is so lovely, patient, encouraging and told me I did brilliantly. We went on two roundabouts and I drove myself home but he had to take the wheel and help me quite a lot. I'm not expecting to be Lewis Hamilton after two lessons but is it normal to feel like this and will it get better? I am 33 so a bit older for a learner. I'll be doing 2x 2 hour lessons a week, so 20hrs a month. I have a special needs child so really need to be driving for his sake. Thanks everyone for reading. X
