I am 26 years old and have never had a driver's license. For some reason over the years I have developed a fear of driving. I get very nervous and just hate it. The worst thing I can imagine doing is hurting someone and driving can be so dangerous. All those terrible videos they show you in driver's ed coupled with my mother's terrible driving instruction (she overreacted and screeched at everything and referred to all cars as 3 ton death machines) made me one nervous driver. I've happily walked, rode bicycles and buses, and occasionally been driven around by others my entire life. Until now! I signed up for a driving school which was all last week and included 6 hours of behind the wheel time. This morning I took my road test and passed with flying colors! The tester was my driving instructor (he's certified by the state to give road tests) so that really helped cut back on the nervousness. He said he would feel completely comfortable riding around with me and thinks I'll be a great driver especially once I stop being so on edge. My nervousness has improved too over the past week.
Just wanted to share my little victory with my bunny friends! I know driving and getting a license is a matter of course for 99% of people but this has been a huge and stressful deal for me and something that my family's been badgering me to do for 10 years. I decided not even to tell my parents about the driving school until after I passed the test. Called my dad already and he's thrilled, tried to call my mom but she's not home. I know she will be very pleased!
All I have to do now is go down to the DMV tomorrow morning and get the actual license!
