Starting to feel nervous again about my driving lessons

Have ice in your veins. The driving test is a privilege to be in. Thousands of people today found out their mother has cancer today, you cannot sit there and be nervous about your driving test.

To try and keep this as short n simple as I can basically I’ve been doing lessons for a good while now, ngl probably a good bit longer than most ppl who have done them and then went onto pass their test I feel like. I had my test in November there and failed because of one thing, I was literally kicking myself for it.

Anyways I have my second attempt coming up in under 2 weeks and I have a driving lesson later on. Lately ever since I failed that last test I feel as though I’m becoming more nervous before my lessons and I feel as though I’m making more silly mistakes.

I was always one for feeling nervous before my lessons which at the start was because of my instructor but I’ve changed instructors since. I then felt absolutely fine and confident enough before my lessons but now I’m back to the anxiousness again. My instructors literally fine as well but I think it’s this failed test and the mistakes I’ve been making recently that are worrying me more now.

You are not alone. It's so tough to try and tell yourself to stay relaxed for these pressure situations. The brain doesn't always want to listen! How about trying some meditation beforehand to calm yourself down and ground yourself, or do something distracting that you enjoy so you don't work yourself up too much about it beforehand. Positive visualisation also helps lots of people...imagine yourself in that car doing everything right...you've got this!

Good luck with the test! All the best people pass 2nd time 😉 Let us know how you get on!

Little update unfortunately I failed again so unlucky as I wasn’t actually feeling too nervous beforehand and even in my lesson before I was doing quite well but awk. I’ve got another one booked, just need to look for cancellations.
