I'm 25 and have been learning on and off for two years. My instructor was lovely but I just hated driving. It got to the point where I was just looking for excuses not to drive. I'm now learning in an automatic and I love it, it's easy and my driving has instantly improved. I don't agree that passing in an automatic restricts you, they're so common now it's just the same as having a manual car.

I had my second driving lesson today and my instructor had my drive home, and i panicked so much thinking about driving on a main road, but it wasn't half as bad as i thought it would be and it made me feel so much more confident about my lesson next week

Air freshener!! I was terrified to start driving and put off starting to learn for months! But similar to you I used the instructor my sister (who was pregnant at the time of learning) had so my instructor asked about about her and her baby ect ect

Great video Alice! I turn 17 in a few months and I'm so scared of driving. I'm really clumsy and everyone keeps telling me I'm going to crash the car, but I still wanna learn. Thanks for putting my mind at rest a bit. Loving Raw Wednesdays x

I turned 17 at the end of October and started driving on 20th January. I've had 4 out of 11 lessons so far I'm enjoying it as I want to have more independence other than walking places when my parents aren't home. my instructor already on about me booking my theory as there's like a month wait but I'm not ready😩.

I really like this video. I'm 21 and started my driving lessons at 18 and gave up about 6 months later because I was too nervous and stressing and my instructor was sh*t and I just panicked myself so much I left it and now I'm 21 everyone I know drives and I wish I could drive now but I'm in my last year of uni, last semester, so I'm super stressed with uni so hopefully I can start again after I finish. I'm just so scared. Anyway this gave me some confidence but I know I defo didn't pick it up well at all and I stress too much :(
