I have social anxiety,so I can totally relate to this. I had to really push myself and force myself to go out in the car as often as I could. I'm much more confident now; so just keep going and drive as often as you can,even if it's just short journeys. It's all about training your mind to accept that you're a driver now,and it will become second nature. Good luck.
they should have special lessons and more leniant rules for ppl like us because im exactly the same my social anxiety is down to autism if i do something wrong in the road ill most likely get out and run as i dont want ppl starting at me but i understand why its the same because everyone will be driving with different rules in their head but if im right in thinking the best car for an autistic person is automatic as theres no gears to think about atleast
I passed my test 2 weeks ago with only 1 minor fault, i bought my first car two days later and where i collected it was an business park which led onto a dual carriage way, to say i was nervous was an understatement but i had no choice drive it or be stranded in this car park so i just went it for and believed in myself, i'm alot more comfortable driving now. people ask me why i drive alot and 1. because i love driving and 2. is once you pass the real driving experience comes into play, i still have a lot to learn like motorways i still have done yet so just believe in yourself and be confident.
Small trips everyday and make them a little longer as ur confidence build is helping me get used to driving on my own. Passed on Friday with 2 minors and can safely say I’ve not changed how I drive since driving alone if anything I’m more alert because of how badly people drive and don’t use indicators.
I passed a few week ago and have the exact same problem. Although I learnt and passed in my own car, I still struggle with feeling too close to the curb but am miles away from it. But hopefully it will come with time.
I relate to this so much! I'm driving myself to college for the very first time ever being in the car alone on Monday and I'm quite nervous despite being so confident in my instructors car which coincidentally happens to be the exact same car she passed in too! I passed a few weeks ago and it is still really scary on the roads but every time I go out I feel more confident. It definitely doesn't help when there's traffic and impatient people who beep you! I didn't get P plates for the exact reasons Francis was saying. I have bad social anxiety and I totally understand what she was feeling during this so it's nice to know I'm not alone. Also every car is so different so it's complicated getting used to all the new ways of doing things in each car!
I have a work colleague who is a nerve wreck when driving but yes she passed. Drove a manual for 3-4 years and now switched to Automatic. But there are also a lot of drivers more capable than her, but do not have the licence due to having an even worse social anxiety. Also the flash usually in the UK in that situation usually means that "you" can go first. In other countries like in Asia it means that "They" go first. It really depends on the situation. If there is a camera marker and speedlimit and car approaching not being blocked is flashing you, usually means there is a police with a radar on down the road lol
@@J03130 Apologies, I didn't realize I was talking the perfect human being who, just after passing their test, was familiar with the bite point in every single make of car their first time sitting in them. She did fine in her independant drive (besides missing a right lmao), the only reason she even got beeped is because of the L plates splattered all over the car and drivers in London love to press their horn. Passing your test doesn't mean you're a perfect driver, you're allowed to make 14 mistakes during the test and STILL pass. It just means that you're safe enough to start to begin your personal learning journey, which she absolutely is.
When i went to cycle in Spain everyone toots the horn. At first i took offence then i realised people where simply saying hello im here as well. Once i got that mindset. Getting beeped at the beep is the least of things to worry about
I pass my test on the 25th of August with my own car and had just two minors and I am very happy I had my car before passing my test bcus it has helped me to be confident when driving alone since I am familiar with my car and have never used the P plate bcus I just think other drivers who easily bully me on the road if I have that 😅.
Sounds exactly like myself I refused to use p plates because when I was learning in my own car the amount of people who take advantage of seeing a learner is unreal. Congratulations on passing I passed last friday.
I did my first solo drive yesterday ☺ I only went around the block and probably spent more time sitting at the lights than driving but I did it! I passed my test a week ago so I've never driven alone, taking your advice from your other video and doing small trips to build confidence and no set destination when I drive a little further next time. I agree with the P plates, I've just ditched my L plates, I don't want people treating me like I'm inexperienced with a P on my car, they don't need to know I'm inexperienced 😅 The Range Rover and Puegeot that overtook are BAAAD drivers 🙄 you definitely CAN'T do that.
I have my test in 9 days and im a nervous wreck, even thought i know i can drive anf passed mock tests with no minors im just scared😭 not only that, you never know whats going to happen on the day. Its mostly the unkown for me
If you're passing mock tests with no minors then you KNOW you can pass the real thing! For sure anything could come up while you're driving but whatever it is if you deal with it safely you'll still pass. The driving test isn't a massive mountain it's just a small speed hump. Drive for 30 minutes on relatively easy stuff you'll have done LOADS with your instructor and have a chat to the examiner 😊 good luck!!
@@DrivingSchoolTV I PASSED🎉🎉 at some point I did think I had failed but I kept confident and calm. Didn't think too much about it. You're videos really helped me, thankyou!!
Coming across this after passing my test 3 days ago. I have zero confidence because my instructor would just shout at me and list off ways that everything I did would kill people in graphic detail. (Legit had to tell him to stop shouting at me during a parallel park the day before my test). I’d literally sell a kidney to be able to do a lesson with someone as supportive as you! Do you do like one (or two) off refresher lessons? (Though I learnt in Lincolnshire so your end of the country might actually finish me off mentally 😂😂😂)
@DrivingSchoolTV , Hi amazing team! I have a Driving test in 19th at Tolworth Driving Test, would like to do a Mock Test with you’ll for your channel please, happy to share my results with public, thanks
The road was completely clear and the traffic was held back by a traffic light. The overtaking vehicles cut the corner a lot so it could have been done more safely.
Sorry to hear that Adam! Do you think it might be a good idea to get some more lessons so you feel confident enough to go out solo and use your license?

Wow should do series of new drivers first drive that will be lit!!🎉
Agree brilliant video
Yes! Loads of people could relate to the nerves of being a newly passed driver.
It will help me realise we're all sht scared .
Loving the various pronunciations of Peugeot 😂😂😂😂
Peujah 😂

Aw go girl!! I feel her nerves. But yeh this video is wild to see! Amazing idea Francis!! You got this you got this!!!
This is great for me right now. Hope theres more!!!
An Audi A1 or a Fiat 500? Very big differences between the 2 cars, lol. Thought she'd say Audi or BMW or Mercedes 😂😂
I love her energy 😂😂😂
I passed my test today in derby. Your videos were so helpful. ❤

Just keep a positive mindset i'm a learner myself so it's all valuable information to take in
14:16 that's a little worrying considering she learned in a manual. She should 100% know why it was rolling back... 🤔
Keep driving and u will get confident so far your doing great believe in yourself you can do it 👍👏🙏☮️
no disrespect but how can you pass a manual test and then not know the first thing about using a manual car? that's quite concerning i cant lie.
She clearly knows what she's doing, she is just a bit nervous, new car, the cameras etc. She'll be fine.
Mate she didn't stall and her gear changes didn't look jerky at all. What more do you want from someone who has just passed?
@@jonathanlawson5717 someone who knows how a bite point works. "wHy ThE cAr gOiNg bAcKwArDs" thats fucking dangerous

all i can say is keep practicing as you will get there eventually, your are an great driver just keep practicing as you will get there eventually.😀😀😀
When i went to cycle in Spain everyone toots the horn. At first i took offence then i realised people where simply saying hello im here as well. Once i got that mindset. Getting beeped at the beep is the least of things to worry about
Same thing in Barbados. Tons of blind corners, animals, pot holes, tourists....to beep is just the langauge of the road thier to say 'I'm here' lol

P plates are almost an invitation hey im a new driver bully me on the roads
How do i get in touch with you for pass plus certificate ?You are by far the best instructor !!

Please keep this lovely lady off the road at all cost.

19:50 they should NOT have UNDERtook her there, surely!?
to be honest no BUT a lot of people will as she could have safely turned there.
Whys the left foot just hanging on the clutch
Can you please comment on those people overtaking her on the right?
The road was completely clear and the traffic was held back by a traffic light. The overtaking vehicles cut the corner a lot so it could have been done more safely.
Are these videos staged or real?
Zero acting. Except for the outtake in the middle 😆
For someone who has passed, the instructor should not be pressing the brake
17:04 i felt her anxiety here 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I had p plates on for about a month after passing lol
Youre not meant to do that but when people see you have an opportunity to go they will come past
I’ve gone back to the buses because I can’t drive I have a licence going back to the buses is a quick simple fix
Sorry to hear that Adam! Do you think it might be a good idea to get some more lessons so you feel confident enough to go out solo and use your license?
@@DrivingSchoolTVwhat’s so frustrating is I passed with 3 minors and it was the head examiner that passed me.
Summer videos are nice 😊
She's a baddie 😍
What a nice lady. I feel so attracted.
🤢 that's such a creepy comment
@@terricox3559 just meant to congradulate her the way she is. I dont see anything wrong with that.
