A Life Skills Group Community Group
All are welcome to join our group. We're here to share advice, encouragement, and ideas on how to build better lives for ourselves. We can discuss all aspects of daily living, along with anything else that’s on your mind. Each of us knows a little, and together, we know a lot that can help us each to reach higher and go further in life. There's such a lot...
If you are having difficulty getting a driver's license for any reason, please feel free to discuss it here. Also, if you have a fear of driving that either prevents you from driving or prevents you from even getting a driver's license, this is the discussion area for you. Please don't worry about your age if you have never had a license before. There are many cases of people in their fifties who are first-time drivers! We're here for you, to talk about your anxieties, fears, worries, and concerns that prevent you from getting your driver's license, and to hopefully reassure you that it's okay to go ahead and make the effort anyway.
As far as anxiety about driving, well, I've discovered in my neck of the woods, I am not the only one who can't drive, so I allow a good distance between me and the other vehicle, just in case. (hee hee) Always practice safety, as much as you can, but remember, we have no control over the other driver in the vehicle we meet, so I always pray that the individual is paying attention, and that I am paying attention, too. Most autos on the road today, and all of the newer versions, have safety measures in place to protect us. My Beetle Bug has 6 air bags, so if I can survive them, I'll survive the crash, surely.
Don't be afraid to face that fear. You'll be fine. Just practice driving where there is not a lot of traffic; and I, even to this day, try to avoid traffic congestion. I don't feel comfortable being "packed" together with a bunch of others.
