I don't have a lot of experience on roads, do you think I could Learn to drive car

I am scared

1. All modern cars have 'safety cages' that protect you (to a great degree) in the event of a crash.
2. Other drivers are crazy mofo's ! It's them you need to watch out for. Some take the dumbest risks !
3. Everybody gets scared ! And it's right that you should ! It shows you know that you need to be responsible for your actions on the road ! This is a good thing !
4. Driving instructors will try and rip you off for endless lessons before advancing you for a test. Keep a diary of what you've learned from each lesson and tell your folks or another driver you trust. They'll give you an evaluation as to whether you're being ripped-off or not.

@Harrystyles11 I can only speak from experience. I know that European cars have had safety cages since the late 80's i think.
Don't know about other countries.
But if you have a vehicle you can practice in as well as have lessons, awesome !!
Practice will only make you better !

@Harrystyles11 No - it doesn't - be glad Ur not on a motorbike.
You have a hard metal shell around you with a strengthened cage. Seatbelts and possibly air bags.

You'll be fine!

@Harrystyles11 also - dont ever lose that fear!
People get complacent about driving - they forget the risks - it's tjat fear that'll keep you safe.

@Harrystyles11 until you are mentally ready you will be afraid. ... I drove at 12 on the farm , but I needed to help daddy . Take your time

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@TexChik but I am 21, when I am I gonna learn if not now, plus I need it to get the girls 🤷‍♂️😂
I like your advice though lol in a perfect world I wouldn't have to learn it, but it's not easy living without it, being dependent on people, paying for ubers and stuff.

TexChik · F

@Harrystyles11 True ! At 21 it’s time

FreeSpirit1 · F

No, stay in your room and play with the Tonka trucks.

Thanks

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@FreeSpirit1 been doing that 😂 its kinda getting old and people make fun of me

FreeSpirit1 · F

@Harrystyles11 Anyone who is scared of driving should not drive. We have enough problems on the roads.

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@FreeSpirit1 uhm...

@Ynotisay my parents won't let me drive a bike coz the traffic out here is crazy but they lettin me drive a car though.
So you re saying facing the fears is worth the freedom you get after

Ynotisay · M

@Harrystyles11 That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. Fear is something we can all control. And the best way to fight fear is to gain experience and knowledge. Driving a car is fun and it's a powerful feeling. Very soon it just becomes a part of who you are. You got this. I'm sure.

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@Ynotisay Thanks mann+!! Very helpful

thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M

Sure! Everyone who drives started from the same point. You'll be fine. :)

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@thepreposterouspanda I mean most people in my country start driving a bike and then they kinda get how gears work and how traffic works, then they start driving a car. I don't drive bike so I am kinda scared

Success · 26-30, F

Driver's ed. Remember the rules of the road.

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@Success alrighty then. I hope I don't die 😂

revenant · F

yeahhh and you will be like any starter

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@revenant Yeah I guess.. I am just scared that's all

OogieBoogie · F

I had a phobia of driving - now I'm fine.

It's just practice, practice practice... But I'd suggest driving back roads till the controls of the car become automatic to you.

If traffic is hectic - you're going to need all your attention There.

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@OogieBoogie Yeah I guess in the end its just all about the practice, same thing when learning anything but with other things your life is not at risk 😂.

My sister wouldn't drive on the freeway till she was around 35, didn't get her license till she was 25. You'll get used to it, she did 👍
