My new husband and I are staying at my parents together (we sleep in my bedroom) until my love leaves for Basic Training on Aug 27th. We both got our driver's licenses at the same time and in fact were in the same Driver training car. Driving makes me a little nervous so they paid for extra hours. He and I both passed our test and were issued licenses. Since then I usually let him do all the driving including a romantic trip to Lake Tahoe in May (before the forest burned down sniff sniff) where we had to drive fast on the interstate. I don't mind when he drives or my dad or mom and usually pay no attention to how fast they go. Ok, today my dad asked me to drive him to work. He's a police detective and we were driving but somehow he thought I was going to slow and the cars behind me were making me very nervous. He kept the car when we arrived and asked a nice young police officer (if I were still single sigh!!) to drive me home but now I think I need more lessons. What do I do?My dad made me very nervous about my driving today and I need some advice?
When you go somewhere with your husband, father or mother, have them let you drive. You need more experience so you will become comfortable with driving. Kind of like you have a permit, make sure an experienced driver is with you and can help you in areas you need improvement. They can help let you know when you're doing something incorrectly (like driving too slow). It will all work out, you just need to drive more. Let your family help you. Best wishes.My dad made me very nervous about my driving today and I need some advice?
You poor helpless little thing, ...you've let everyone else chauffeur you around ......so you've never kept in practice or developed any confidence behind the wheel at all. Your father was right to keep the car...... you need to build some confidence and become comfortable behind the wheel. That only comes with time and experience.
BTW---- I'm also a Police Detective(retired)
well I know all about that sweetie Im kinda in the same situation I have a learners permit though and this isnt my first time I took some driving lessons once but I didnt have any other help to get comfortable behind the wheel but it was a week before my road test and I drove with someone other than my instructor and they told me I wasnt ready so I didnt go through with the test so now I decided to get my learners again and this time i am more determained than ever but I was told not to worry about driving to slow just stay in the laine that is closest to the right side of the road as to let other drivers go there own speed I hope this helped u cause I really envy u for your courage to share that story it really help me
