get a job nearby. it will help you ease into the driving thing. i was also uncomfortable behind the wheel after my son was born. i had not driven for about a year and a half before that.
anyway, do not live in the past. it will cloud up your mind. just clear your mind and pay attention to what is happening now.
when you are behind the wheel, be aware of who is around you at all times, and pay attention to their actions and to the speed limit. you will be ok.
good luck!

Hi Angel. Driving is scary. I've been doing it for over 50 years and I still get scared. I can only tell you what helps me. When going to a new place I check out the maps, run it through mapquest or some other site and determine how long it will take me. Then I allow extra time for roadblocks, detours and so forth. I try to make my trips at a low-traffic time, whenever possible. When driving, and I see a red light ahead, I lift my foot off the accelerator. When coming to a stop I imagine a glass of water sitting on the dashboard and try not to spill a drop. Same for starting up and cornering. Might drive others behind me mad but I feel comfortable doing it this way. Then I imagine I have a driving-test inspector sitting next to me the entire time. This is wonderful for helping me focus on my driving technique. Before I know it, I'm there. Good luck to you. If some of these ideas are helpful, great. If not, I still send my best wishes for a successful interview.

Well your gonna have to decide on the job or your fear. Most ppl will say to overcome your fears and start driving, other will say that it's not going to work. But the ultimate decision is up to you. You are not your "EX" and the only fear you have is him driving. But I bet that as long as your driving everything is cool. So do whatcha have to do because you only got so many get out of jail free cards in this life.

Driving is always going to be important in your life, so find a time to get your confidence back. I would suggest you take an advanced or defensive driver training course. They are value for money and will teach you more about driving than your ex boyfriend ever dreamed of knowing. Good luck.

Get a friend to drive you ,take the bus or a cab
and if you end up liking the job look for someone to carpool
with. and eventually move within walking distance of your new job
good luck

try visualizing a safe drive to your destination.
Imagine slowly driving your car to your appointment and arriving in plenty of time to compose yourself for the interview. Do this several times as you prepare for bed. Good luck!
Cheers!

You should be more worried about your grammer.
Plan ahead, leave early, and drive slow.
