Hi all I recently passed my driving test after quite a few attempts, it took me a long long time to finally pass and it feels like a dream come true.
I did had the opportunity to drive my partners very large 4X4 but I feel this is too large to drive for my first proper car, however we have had a discussion and he says that he can afford to get me a small run-a round something like a peugeot 206 or a fiest which I am pleased and grateful for!
We have been around various garages and have seen a couple that I like so it will olny be a matter of time before I get my own car at the grand old age of 28!!
However I am terrified of the prospect of driving on my own- My partner has said that he is willing to sit by me at first but he feels I should go straight into the deep end!!!! I am scared that I will get in to a situation that I cant handle, or drive the wrong way down a one way street e.t.c!! I have been offered the prospect of pass plus courses but we can't afford them and I have had years of lessons so really dont want any more?
Is it normal to feel like this? Help!!!
