The fear of driving is an incidious situation – practically self-feeding. Athough the avoidance of driving a motor vehicle supplies the victim a perception of basic safety, a really good feeling, if you will, which nurtures the phobia. Of course, the eventual result is often times remoteness from signficant human relationships – be realistic, we are living in an urban sprawl modern society and it will take some type of transportation to bodily get in touch. Fortunately, you will find treatments that will help persons get out. Thanks very much for taking time to write you blog as this is a very important topic!

Hang in there guys. I was so so scared of my drivers – the first time was a dismal failure. I couldn’t sleep at all the night before and I was on Ativan (not a good idea). I practiced a lot, and the second time I passed, even though I was sure I would fail. Just keep trying and hang in there. A girl I knew in the UK has done her drivers 8 TIMES and she finally passed. You just have to believe in yourself and you can do it!!!

I am in the same situation. I have failed my road test 3 times and the only time I can practice is with my instructor because nobody in my house will be nice enough to take me.

After reading this, it is motivating me to re-consider taking my driving test and to try to go get my license. You may have failed your test a few times but my nerves and self doubt stops me from ever trying to go take my test. When I did go to a driving school years ago, the instructor I had was mean, rude and kept telling me I was an awful driver. Due to my circumstance I didnt have a car to practice driving and my family were unwilling to help me in any sort of means. Anyways long story short, I am proud of people like yourself who actually try because its alot cowardless than me. I’m not sure how I will overcome my fear of failure and driving phobia but you know what? I really don’t want to end up waiting for another 10 years only to find out I could have had it sooner.

@Nicole: No worry Nicole. Failing the driving test does not mean you cannot drive. I had been driving for more than 10 years in my home country before I took the test. I never had accident in my home country. And they failed me 4 times here… unbelievable…
Good luck for your next driving test. With you the best.

I took my test for the first time today. Needless to say, I failed. I hardly got any sleep last night because I was so stinking nervous. When the examiner opened my car door I said, “Hi”-in hopes to make me feel a little more comfortable. He just stared at me and said nothing! The first thing I had to do was parallel park. I felt like crap, because when I paralled parked I was too far away from the curb and that was it. I was not even allowed to finish the rest of the test, thus, the examiner probably thought I was stupid. I was even anrgier, because parallel parking, in my opinion, is not that damn important. My mom had her liscence for 30 some years and she never had to parallel park in her whole damn life. Even more I was ticked off because I am a good driver-I never go over the speed limit-I never got into a crash or had a ticket-I actually prevented a few crashes that other drivers almost caused with me.
Plus, I was scared of the place I was parallel parking, because it just snowed yesterday and froze over night, so it was all icy. I was so mad he did not cut me even a tiny break because of that! I cried myself the whole way home-my dad needed to drive because I was way too upset. I guess I am just not use to failure-I always get excellent grades and take the higher classes in school-I am use to being the smart one. But I am definately no genius at parallel parking-it took my a whole year after I was 16 to even get behind the wheel of a car, because my sister’s best friend died in a car crash when she was 16 and I had a phobia of riding or driving in cars for 3 years. Well, despite how afraid I am to take the test again, I signed up to take the test again in 15 days-I will be praying to God that I pass and once I do I will by myself a little celebration cake!!!!

@Spaz: Good luck for your next driving test? It took me five times too to pass my driving test.
