Okay so I'm now at the stage in my life where I really should be driving - my eldest will be going to secondary school in a couple of years & I feel it would be best if I was able to drive before then.
I was never encouraged by my parents to learn when I was younger, we never had the spare money for lessons. My mum never learned, neither did my older sister so I never had any 'inspiration' - iykwim? Only my dad & brothers & husband drive.
I don't know why I'm afraid of driving. I feel inadequate that I can't drive, like the kids sometimes have to miss out on things, as their dad is at work & I can't take them out anywhere. There's been a few parties they've had to miss just because I can't drive!
It's sounds silly, something people do everyday, probably without a second thought but it really bugs me sometimes & I think time is running out, I'm not getting younger, if anything I've left it far too late as it is!
Any tips anyone? Did you feel scared about learning to drive & how did you overcome your anxieties? What's driving like now - best thing you ever did?
