almost 40 and afraid to drive, never had a drivers licence!

[rebecca39]

Hi there,
First of all, excuse my bad English (I am still learning, original from Romania).
I wish so bad to get the drivers license, but i am so afraid to drive (only had few times in a parking lot). The fear of driving is because in Europe, people drive like crazy, lots of people dying there. I lost in car accident many friends. This might be the reason i am not driving today, every time i am in the car with someone, i have to stress him to slow down. I can't be in the car if someone drives more then 55-60 miles/h. This weekend i will start the driving school (i have the permit since last year) and i am terrified to go on the streets or highway. I am so ashamed of my self; i feel like a have a handicap. I am almost 40 and not being able to drive. What should i do in order to give up of my driving phobia (i imagine all the time in the car accident...or death if i will be alone in the car and drive)? I hope my first lesson with the instructor will go well and i won’t make him mad or telling me to get out of the car...
Thank you all for reading my post!
Rebecca

Hello Rebecca, I have a question for Rich Presta first. Rich i am very interested in your program. But i see questions like Rebeccas unanswered. And it gives me a bit of concern. Thanks please let me know what you think.

I developed the forum for people to be able to communicate with one another in similar situations, not as a means of communicating directly with me necessarily so I don't post often.
