"Just got my license to drive"

Hi everyone,

Many years ago I used to have trauma driving in the road due to my dad yelling & taking over the steering wheel that almost got us into a car accident as a teenager. This year I decided to take driving lessons to get over my fear of driving. I’m getting tired of my family and friends taking me to places. Now, my driving skills have gotten so much better the last few days. I’m no longer fear of driving anymore but still have a little bit of anxiety. Today, I passed my driving test on the third attempt! Anyone who is struggling with trauma, don’t ever give up.

Anyone one is curious on my two driving test attempts
First attempt: high school driver instructor was a jerk.
Second attempt: panic attack during the driving test and hit the cone while parking

Congratulations! This is a big step for you, and you should be proud. You are a amazing example of taking baby steps towards your goal and never giving up.

I work for an insurance company, never hurts to research and buy a dashcam also. You would be surprised how many accidents get overturned because the dash cam confirmed the driver was not at fault.

Thanks for the advice! I’m planning to buy a dashcam because my family are always getting themselves into car accidents.
