This helps a lot because My aniexty can’t handle the pressure parents give

as a beginner driver something that you should know is that the steering wheel isn't as sensitive as you think it is, it takes a bit of turning to get a noticeable effect. the gas and brake pedals are about what you'd expect tho

Just got my permit and watching to learn lol Update: I passed my road test on first try

My mom: Don't try driving untill you are absolutely ready to try. It shouldn't give you anxiety. Also my mom: Get your damn license already!

Thank you. I had a driving instructor yelling at me until my ears started hurting because he magically expected me to be a perfect driver on my first lesson. He didn't even teach me how to straighten my steeeing wheel

I’m 17 and I want to start getting my life together but I have Extreme driving anxiety and I can’t handle when I’m being pressured by my parents when I’m practicing . I’m always scared I’m gonna crash and die when I think about driving 😔

If this make anybody feel better I'm 41yrs of age trying to LEARN

I’m 23 I got my license 3 months ago still learning driving today was my first road trip for 2 hours. I was so scared and panicking thank God some road driver were careful around me cause I was crossing lanes little bit. Tbh my partner was horrible he was screaming and yelling at me all the way make me more nervous however I reach home safely. Seeing all this comment make me feel I’m not the only one with driving anxiety.

I drove for the 3rd time yesterday. After watching this video, I felt so calm practicing again. My goal was to drive around an entire block and drive into traffic. I did it calmly but I did receive a little guidance from my dad

I'm 36 year's old, and I don't even know how to drive. I had someone who was going to show me how to drive. They ended up not doing it. So, it doesn't matter anymore, I'll learn how to drive soon. Congratulations to everyone, who passed their test and finally, gotta their drivers license. 👏

Once you master the basics, driving becomes so fun. But stay safe

One VERY IMPORTANT tip: when getting gas, if you want unleaded, read the labels on the gas pump and MAKE SURE you are using the correct nozzle. The unleaded nozzle could be any color: black, red, blue, etc. (in my area the unleaded nozzles are black). Make 100% sure you aren't accidentally grabbing the DIESEL or ETHANOL (E20, E30, E85, etc.) nozzles if your car needs unleaded. (In my area, the diesel nozzles are green, but they could also be several other colors). If you aren't 100% sure, go inside and ask the clerk. This can be a very expensive tow and repair bill for your car if you accidentally grab the wrong nozzle and fill your unleaded tank with diesel. It happens more often than you would think. And the repair won't be covered by the warranty, of course, and may not be covered by your insurance. Another clue that you accidentally grabbed the diesel nozzle is that it won't fit inside the hole on your unleaded gas tank, although it's still possible to hold the nozzle to the hole and fill the tank with diesel. The unleaded nozzle will fit ALL THE WAY inside the hole, deep into your gas tank. If you DO happen to accidentally grab the wrong nozzle and fill the unleaded tank with diesel, don't drive the car. Immediately call a tow truck and be towed from the gas station to a repair shop where they can drain and clean your fuel tank. Driving the car will only cause significantly more expensive damage.

I’m 24 and thinking it’s time! These videos really help me get a better understanding while not feeling so much pressure and anxiety

I got my learner’s permit a few weeks ago, and this weekend I finally had the chance to go out with my Mom and drive. I thought it was going to be easy lmao- nope. We started out doing loops at out local park, and she made me practice parking a few times (I have an issue with pulling up all the way). It was a little scary but no one was around, so that eased my anxiety a little bit. Then she asked if I actually wanted to go out on the road (it really wasn’t an option since she would have yelled at me if I said no). It was scary. We did, however put the hazards on, which helped everyone else on the road steer clear of what I was doing. It was a back road luckily, so it wasn’t anything fancy. We did see a biker that I had to pass (which was pretty intense) and there was also a cop car stationed on the side of the road, which (thankfully) didn’t pull me over. I’m really struggling with sharp turns, and there were several times where my mom grabbed the wheel and yelled at me, afraid I was going to hit someone. I guess you could say I don’t know what to do. I’m scared, and I’ve put off driving about just as long as I can, and now I feel like, since I’m older, my parents expect me to be good at it right away.

I learn fast and better with my friends but when it comes to my parents I get panic attacks 😖

Everyone judges me because I'm a slow learner and I also am on the autism spectrum. I wont understand social cues from my mom if she thinks I'm doing something wrong. One time I was learning how to drive but she screamed at me and it made me almost collide into a car and then I forgot to yield for the car coming from my left side to the right. I was going into the same direction. Luckily, my reflexes were really good and I was able to swerve into a lane quickly because no one was there in the lane. It's just that my ears hate screaming and loud noises so if I hear something like that, I tend to freeze and my mind can't focus. This made me not yield and I was having anxiety as well. My ears are so senstive to the screaming its so painful. Also, I always feel like covering my ears when she does that. And then my mom yells even more and I'm so afraid of her. I have trust issues now and everytime she tells me to go practice driving the basics with her, I get panic attacks on the inside and get horrid flashbacks of her screaming at me and calling me insults if I ever make a mistake. It makes me cry but I hold it in and pretend to smile and be happy for her. I don't know what to do anymore. Even my instructor made fun of me and asked whether I'm stupid or not. I just need the support and want to take things at my own pace. I stopped practicing how to drive for a year and now its 2021 I want to go at it again. I haven't gotten my drivers test done but I was supposed to last year. I don't know about directions and I constantly fixate on the road. I changed my mindset this year and am trying to rid of my anxiety and panic attacks. I'll start driving with my dad for now if he has time for me.

My dads not a bad teacher I’m just so nervous and idk how to get over it. I don’t know I didn’t get much parking lot practice to feel how it feels to be in a car and right away I’m already driving on the neighborhood. It freaks me out idk

I have tons of anxiety about driving and had an anxiety attack when I got in the car for the first time (didn’t end up driving lol) so this video helped so much!

I'm starting my first driving lesson this week. And have no prior experience driving. So these small tips are helping immensely. Hopefully I my anxiety doesn't get in the way. 🙃

I just feel like there are so many things to keep track of, road lines, street signs, who has the right of way, how to park, checking your mirrors, making sure your not going to fast or slow, making sure you cancel your signal or use it, dodging obstacles that might be in the street, knowing where you even are, and even having to pay attention to what other drivers are doing. I’m sure there’s something I missed in there and I know it’s not like you’re doing it all at the same time but it’s all still things that happen pretty frequently and so you gotta make sure you get all of it

I’m 22 and my mom keeps pressuring me to learn how to drive but I get anxiety on taking turns 😅 but I do want to learn cause I want to be more independent and go out.

We can do it people ✊🏽

Just got my license!!! But I’m still nervous to drive alone haha

i’m a beginner driver i’m only 16 but my dads teaching me although i have no issue with his teaching (he was a sprint car racer when we was younger) but these videos help me on the little things that he forgets because they just come natural to him

20 years old i dont feel like im ready to drive but theres so many places id love to go to and at this point i feel ashamed when asking family members or my friends to give me a lift there, i hope i can overcome this anxiety someday ;;

Thank you for this video! My sister took me out driving earlier and almost got in a crash because I didn’t know how to use my breaks, I’m forever traumatized 😵‍💫

Finally a video with a left site steering wheel

this comment section makes me feel not alone about my first in car lesson in two hours 😭 glad to see that everyone has experienced what i’m feeling rn and it’s not just me 😅 i’m still nervous though

When I got my license, my mother warned me about driving past parked cars, telling me to be prepared in case a child should unexpetedly dash out from in between them. She also taught me to adjust my side mirrors so that I don't have blind spots, saying that I don't need to see what's directly behind me from the side mirrors. Also that I should always chock the tires when parking on a hill. People put too much trust in parking brakes, which fail more often than we realize.

Haha I remember the first time I drove on the highway. Was going at 55 and pissing people off. Now I’m squeezing between cars to change lanes in busy city streets. Stay safe, you’ll get the hang of it!

40 year old here. Scared of driving due to being in accidents as a child, not just one either like 5 with my mom. Slowly but surely coming to terms with that and started driving very slowly.

i got my learner’s today and also started driving today and i didn’t do so bad but i did hit the garbage cans on the end of my driveway (oops lol). I also struggle with staying in my lane since im used to sitting in the passenger side of the car

You have a nice calm voice and give clear instructions. I’m going to share this with my kid who just started learning

I’m 37 and just learning how to drive! I’ve always been scared to learn , but it was time. My first driving lesson is tomorrow. I’m so nervous!

My driving learning was halted in 2020 due to the pandemic + a health condition I developed at around the same time. I feel like I've forgotten everything I learned back then, so this is very helpful for me :]

I'm 25 and driving still gives me anxiety . I know the basic at least some and I have drove some but I still suffer because somebody usually have to push me to drive so I don't drive at all and now I'm just ready to try to let the fear go away

I’m so scared to start driving. This video has made it a lot less stressful thank you! 😁

this channel is amazing!!you explained it very clearly which most of the trainers won't tell. Couldn't thank you more

I just turned 38 and i want to learn how to drive and make a career with it. When i was younger and tried to learn the person teaching stressed me out so much i almost caused an accident and feared ever learning again so i gave up on it and stayed away but now im ready to finally get over that hump and get my license

Im 13 and my dad wants to give me a head start in driving. Hes taking me to a parking lot tomarrow. He wants to teach me the basics of driving, and he also wants to teach me how to park. This was pretty helpful. Wish me luck👍😀

finally got my license at 29 now i’m 30 and finally driving alone lol

I drove for the first time today. I'm 13 and my dad wanted to start teaching me young, so we went to my highschool's parking lot lol. I think I did good but I'm nervous for driving on the actual road. I had a lot of fun though and I'm excited to learn more 😁

While not really new to driving, some were very obvious, but the outside perspectives of the car on the steering tips were very helpful, and I think I'll have a better understanding of what the car is really doing now! Parking and turning are both problems I've had, despite having driven for years now (with a learner's permit, of course, I'm preparing to take my test within the month). Very helpful!

I got my license in 2018. Got my car in mid 2019. Been driving back and forth to work only and went through many type of weathers including rainstorm. However, since pandemic i rarely drive and somehow my driving anxiety has increasing again. I worked in a new office and the route is difficult as involve big road. So i got scared if I missed my exit and got loss in the city :( I also bad at parking now as rarely practice. Idk how to get my courage again. I do drive once or twice to groceries store. That's it. Lucky i don't have to go to office everyday. I would take ehailing service and costly to me. I want to practice again. Wish me luck!

1:04 Never, ever grab the wheel from the inside like that! Your hands and wrists will suffer horrible consequences: 1. If someone hits your front and the airbag explodes 2. If your tires are turned and someone hits your side, thus straightening your wheel from the impact All because you have locked your hands inside the wheel like that.

I’m on my 3rd try to retake my permit test. I guess I’m getting early practice watching this video 😄 (very helpful and informative btw)

I watch this video all the time and it's helpful. I just wish there was a place I could practice within an hour distance. I get the basics, but I'm scared to drive with on coming traffic, ya know. I don't want to cause a wreck.

You're right about the blindspot mistake. It happened recently when I was on a motorway and thank God my dad was there with me to let me know in time

i just passed my drivers test today!! i was super nervous the whole time (my leg was shaking so bad that we had to sit in the car for a sec for me to regain my composure lmao), but my examiner was so nice! he was really patient with me and said i only missed marks on parking-he said my turns were more “round” than they should be. i just wanted to say watching all these vids really helped me, and i felt a lot more confident going into the test. my only piece of advice is to work on being calm, because it’ll make it 100x easier. good luck everyone!!

Just my tips: if you can afford, hire/pay someone who are experienced with driving (don't have to be a driving instructor, could just be your brothers/sisters or cousins). If you dad/mom teach you how to drive, you're gonna have a hard time because they always yell/scream at you. I was lucky enough to have my cousins, who is 5 years older than me, helped me with driving for my first month

i just started driving by myself 2 weeks ago and my anxiety has been all over this help alot thxxxxx

My gf’s daughter will turn 15 at the end of this year and I’m planning to start her with driving lessons, as I know her mom will stress her out due to her nerves. So thanks for the tips, I’ll be using these for my lessons 😬

This is really informative! Thank you!! I’ve needed this! And I love seeing the outside of the car when making the wheels straight so I can understand it better!

Good stuff I'm a beginner driver and my first couple of lessons were hard and rough but these videos make it looks so easy i hope I pass

for a moment i got paranoid and my parents were confusing the heck outta me like nooo stop witch i slammed the breaks real hard and my cat went flying forward and 2 i make really hard turns bt thx i subbed this helps

Got my learner's permit a few months ago and I drove once and it was so scary, I'm driving again this weekend and this time I'm gonna focus super good and practice.

I got my drivers license and I still have trouble reversing and parallel parking this was very helpful.

Even though I have mild cerebral palsy thank you for helping/ teaching me . couldn't do it without all of your videos:)

My father was screaming! And my mom was in the back shaking like I just crashed or something. Thank god for you.

Been watching the videos because I've been practicing driving.

I have my first driving lesson in 30 minutes. I’ve been having really bad anxiety about it since I’ve only driven a car twice before. We were required to take sort of school type classes before we started our driving lessons, but I’m still quite nervous because I barely know my driving instructor

Update: ive driven a few times now and its been getting easier (per say) to get going and drive. I'm going driving for the first time today...ive had EXTREME anxiety when it's came to even thinking about driving because of the 2 major car accidents I've been a passenger in. I hope my aunt is patient with me and makes sure to let me know im okay, I will be okay, and that I'm doing my best

I swor to my family that the first car i will drive, will be my car! Now, After 10 years i just bought my first car, and your videos are gold for me! Thank you so much!

I passed drivers test on my first try and drove for the first time a few days ago! It was super nerve racking and my mom tried to start me off on a T turn thing??? Anyways, I think this is first time I've ever been intimated by something, the car was bigger then I expected and the gas petal is a lot more sensitive then you would think So videos like these make me feel less anxious

you can check that your wheels straight without moving car into a random direction turn the wheel all the way to the right (or left) then turn it 2.5 times in the opposite way

Good video!. Still waiting for the one where you more carefully explain turning especially certain aspects of it. Those aspects being positioning for both tight turns and non-tight turns and when to turn once you have established the correct position.

I’m 19 and I’ve wanted to learn since I was in middle school! I always wanted that independence because like many I feel guilty needing my parents to drive me places since I’m the youngest. I don’t want to bother my parents when I need to go to college classes anymore. The other day my dad started teaching me and thankfully he’s very chill

This video was great and it helps a lot but also if you’re taking your test in the DMV, remember, you are not allowed to cross your hands while you are making a turn or turning the steering wheel as she did, you have to push and pull .

Hello! I could really use some advice....so I just got my license (at 27, don't laugh lol) and I'm doing fairly well. I do however make little mistakes every now and then, (like hitting a curb while turning), and when I do make mistakes, I feel like I'm the worst driver ever. How can I stop being so critical of myself when I make a mistake and drive with more confidence?

I’m going to start driving Friday and I’m really scared I’ll press the break to hard or I won’t be able to turn I’m so nervous

I have 1 year before I start driving and I watched 3 other videos including this on how to drive and I know the basics now it will be easy at first when learning to drive

I am 31 now learnt how to drive first time at about 27/28years but since no car, forgot totally how to effectively drive... Now I'd try my best to go learn again and this time get myself a car

4:26 That oh crap moment 😂😅

hey i’m about to do my first in-car instructor session and i’m a little nervous because i’m still getting the basics down. and i’m not sure if they’re gonna tell me what to do or just expect me to know the basics haha

Thank you so much for this channel. I'm trying to teach my 17 year old how to drive and I know projected my anxiety and fear on to him 😩 and I'm very impatient so I'm the worst person to try to teach him.

This was so educative.Thank you. From Sierra Leone

got my license about 2 weeks ago and i almost run over someone yesterday😭😭 i feel like absolute ass i’m never driving ever again

Nice tutorial! Very helpful! Thank you!❤️❤️

This really helps a lot, especially from someone with autism and severe anxiety!

I'm studying for my permit, wish me luck!

I love how I’m literally 13 and I’m listening to this for fun lol

I got my permit a while ago and waited till now to learn. First lesson tomorrow. Expires on Sunday so hoping to learn and get my licenses within a week 😅😭 Wish me luck! Cause im VERY nervous/scared.

I love how you say have you ever bought or rented a car and most beginner drivers are just getting to the point of getting the license 😂😂

Very helpful. Pls can you make a video on how to maintain your lane when making turns thnks.

Very helpful as always, thank you.

I passed test, but I get really nervous when I’m driving especially when my mom makes me feel like I’m not driving correctly. It makes me feel like I need to think fast and I make wrong turns and when I tell her to relax and she doesn’t it stresses me out more 😭 I been driving since I was little, but now I’m getting used to driving on busy highways and streets.

Thank you so much for your video,it helps me a lot,I got my license yesterday

Thank you so much I was wondering on how I could tell if I was going straight and you explained it perfectly

good video👍👍👍👍👍👍

With your short instructions I have learnt much.Thank you dear.

I watched this video 10 minutes before I drove alone for the first time🥰🤗 thank you!

I’m 21 without a license. My dad got his suspended in 2015, and never bothered to get it back because he’s scared of driving. My parents are both useless and refuse to just merely take me for practice around residential streets. I have no friends that would be willing to help. I’ve been reading the handbook. Aren’t driving lessons like $600?

*tips for new driver: PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD NOT YOUR PHONE.* *USE TURN SIGNALS.*

Anxiety will cause you to mess up. Easier said than done to not be anxious, but experience helps. Just play it safe with maneuvers. I’m 10 years in and things become 2nd nature

i wish i had a big empty parking lot where i could just go practice by myself, practicing with someone in the car is so stressful and makes me make mistakes😭

I'm 23 just just got my first car, even tho I've had my license for 2 years now.

Sometimes I just watch these to remind myself I don’t suck at driving 😂

One of the best driving tips videos

I just got my permit and this helps. I’ve taken a drivers course, but people on the road are so incredibly nasty that it makes me not even want to try. 😢

I got my driving test next month, I need all the information lol
