Ok so my dad has taught me to drive once just to prepare me for drivers ed, the first time was a year ago and the second today. I thought I would do fine because it was my second time, but I didn't I got nervous and froze up, I did ok but my dad had to switch seats with me and show me what to do twice. He was patient with me but I still felt like I did horrible, I know it was my second time driving but I expected to do fine because I did fine the first time, I'm have problems on turning and straightening out so that I'm in the same lane, any advice? Also how can I be calmer and relaxed while driving?

Have your dad start you off in a nice empty parking lot somewhere. That way there will be nobody around to make you nervous. Then when you're ready, you can tackle the highways and byways. Just remember, driving is a huge responsibility, so stay focused on what you're doing, and you'll do fine! Heck, I was moving our car up and down the lane way when I was 8!

Relax, don't let the pressure get to you. Practise in an empty parking lot at night with a good buddy. Take your time and before you know it it'll be second nature! Dad will understand!

Wow! Give yourself some credit. Being nervous is so normal. Give yourself some time. Don't be in such a hurry. Driving nowdays is more stressful. So it takes you a little longer, so what?

See if your dad will pay for driving school.

how about you do it at night when no one is out. you won't have to worry about anyone else at all. get someone else besides your parent. someone that is very laid back is usually better. it's just driving relax...........
