Well, I am 24.
Ok, so a year ago I took driving lessons and I failed the behind the wheel all three times. But it's not like I was prepared well enough to go take the behind the wheel. It was my paid instructor's "faith" in me...somehow both of them believed I was ready after maybe 15-20 hrs of practice. S they pressured me into taking the test and therefore Ihave failed. So after almost more than a year off...should I try again and find a better instructor? I think the past two people didn't really have the heart and patience to teach me and encourage me enough. All they wanted was the money.....And I admit...I was a little road scared but I know I can overcome it because I really want that damn license!

Just take it easy, keep your cool, and don't worry about what the examiner is thinking. You'll pass through being confident, providing you don't crash.
Besides the examiners are usually thinking about when they get to go home.

Well you certainly have an enthusiastic cheering section, which is a positive thing.
I would ask you what the problem or problems were that resulted in your not passing the test? Is the problem a driving skills deficit, a self confidence issue or a physical contributor? Or all three? For example are you unable to regulate your vehicle speed, or have disabling social phobia or are unable to reach the brake pedal? Only you know the answer to these questions. Based upon your self reporting I would guess the problem is more psychological than physical or academic. This also means that you, not a driving instructor or anyone else, are going to have to work on the mental obstacles just as much as practicing parallel parking. Professional counseling may help. Good luck and happy motoring!

I'm 24 and I can relate! I failed my driving test 2 times that's mainly because I was nervous. I took the driving test at the same place twice... I decided to switch it up and drive to the next city. I visioned myself driving around with a license. I kept telling myself your gonna pass, your gonna pass and sure enough new environment new attitude I PASSED!
You can do it!

Ya surely you can try, but don't do it for the sake of getting a license . Get rid of your fear. Be confident. You will get thro.
