Hellos everyone
This is my story:
I'm a successful HR Practitioner, have my own house, fabulous job, own car and I can't drive...hold on I can drive .........but I'm terrrified do so. I feel like a complete sucker / complete loser.
I successfully passed my drivers licence on the first attempt and have had my license for the past 3.5 years now and I can actually count the number of times I drove....10 times.
I was confident in my driving until my husband decided to give me a tuition on my new car. He struck the fear of God in me when it came to driving, he took me to one of the steepest hills in my area and told me, " okay ...now take the car up" And because it was a new car and I was not familiar with the vehicle , try as I might I could not get the vehicle up the hill, all I did was roll and roll and roll. And heres the thought that stuck in my head " what if I'm in peak traffic and theres cars behind me....what then????
Last week I tried driving again....I absolutely could not control the clutch .......and to think at one time I was really good at that....I honestly feel like giving up, but I need to start driving properly again...'cos its impacting on my career and my husbands. He turned down a job recently because I could not drive myself to and from work.
I feel hopeless...trully hopeless...dunno what to do.
Wish there was a miracle pill for all of this...calmettes maybe???
Do I go back to a driving school??? I really don't want to...I do know the basics...oh what to do??
