I know this is really daft so please be gentle with me but;

I have promised to take DS to a outdoor adventure thing next week and will have to drive a little way down the A38 to get there.

I have been driving for a year but I'm a really nervous driver and have never driven on a motorway before.

Am I being stupid, I'm really scared. What if I miss my exit?

What if my car dies?

Please help me.

just read the last page - that part of the A38 round Ivybridge is one of my favourite roads ! I love driving on the A38, it's a brilliant piece of road.

Brilliant huh?

I think I would feel more confident if I new where I was going. I get nervous if I can't picture the route in my head. I've printed of a google map.

We had a lovely day. I didn't know where I was most of the journey but we got there in one piece (if a little slowly).

Thankyou for your advice!
