Hi,
I passed my driving test last Monday and have been driving almost every day since then, but I feel like I've made quite a few silly (and sometimes dangerous) mistakes which knocks my confidence. It seems that when I make a little mistake I panic and muck up again further on the drive.
For example, I was driving home from college today and I have to go left on a busy roundabout. I over-anticipated the distance of the other cars that were coming round and started to go, and as I pulled away one of the cars who was coming off left (but wasn't indicating so I didn't know was coming off) beeped me for pulling out on him. After that I felt like a nob for doing something so dangerous, and made another mistake a bit later on.
I was coming down a road and there were lots of parked cars on the right, and a car was coming up on the left hand. I have no idea why, as I wouldn't have done this normally, but I didn't slow down very much to let the woman through particularly safely.
Yet other times I will have a perfect drive and not muck up at all, but it seems once something goes wrong then I make more mistakes in my journey.
Is there anything I can do to reassure myself about this, or stay calm and not lose confidence if I do something wrong?
