Hi, my name is Shanee and I am 21 years old and have yet to get a license. I got my permit at 15 and started lessons and stopped trying to learn how to drive untiI 5 years later. Some of my fear has come from my first experience driving in the park and I busted my dad's tire. I have taken driving lessons with an instructor and drove on a street before. After those lessons I didn't get back on the road for some months because I hate the feeling of anxiety and fear when I am driving. I really feel anxiety when I have to turn, esp. left turns, and when I have to switch lanes. My sister has even given me her old car, so that motivates me even more to get over my fear. Before coming to this site I thought I was the only person afraid to drive. I now feel that their is hope for me to learn how to drive and get over this fear.

Hi Cereza and welcome!

You are taking the right steps by joining this forum. Hopefully you can start getting in a bit of driving practice and watch your confidence grow. Start with very quiet streets in minimal or no traffic, getting comfortable with the car. We look forward to seeing your posts and hearing about your progress.
