fuck
This used to be me
Then I got on antidepressants and practiced a lot (usually an hour+ a day) and my anxiety went away as I got more sure of myself
I just passed my license test this past Thursday
happy to hear user. how old are you? how may practice hours did you have?
>have extreme anxiety while driving
What a fucktard. At least you're not dumb enough to actually get a license and drive on the road.
I used to have intense driving anxiety but then I practiced short routes, then extended them day by day. Today I'm that guy who flies 120 down the highway weaving through traffic. Driving's fun, user. I believe in you.
I'm 20, and I probably practiced around 100 hours in total
I was really nervous until around 60-70 in
>tfw epilepsy
I'll never drive
>always wanted to learn how to drive
>parents finally let me when I turned 15
>was a little nervous, at first, but knew how to stay on the road
>driving test wasn't bad - I was even spot on with parallel parking
>mastered driving after 5 years
Almost 15 years later, I know how to regain control in just about any situation, whether it's hydroplaning or spinning. Never flipped a car, though.
This is involves my brother.
>Passes driving test, Gets his license at 20.
>drive with him to college for 3 weeks
>1st or 2nd day, i let him drive by himself, get t-boned, on the same fucking road we've always driven.
>get blamed for it
I think the xanax made him impaired. He's 26 and still doesn't drive. i feel bad for him.
How much of a brainlet do you have to be to not be able to drive?
Jesus.
>I think the xanax made him impaired.
well, duh. lmao. how did he not get a dui?
it's the anxiety, keeps you from doing a lot of things in life, that normal people take for granted.
that was a bit too harsh, don't you think? next time, try to be more considerate about other people's feelings.
it's his medication, he's supposed to take it daily for anxiety. He got off it, but still refuses to drive.
I used to take klonopins and drive to work every day, prescribed for severe anxiety, not for fun.
Most drivers on the road are shit and would fail if they had to retake the road test.
Not signaling is an automatic fail and I see half of all cars on the road do it.
How does Xanax affect his ability to drive?
>tfw afraid of cars and transit in general
I didn't get my license until I was 24 and I'm a doctor.
Conversely dumb normies all got theirs in highschool.
Is getting your license as soon as possible to finish your mandatory prerequisites an NPC thing?
It's a CNS depressant, much like alcohol.
Driving on benzos is driving impaired.
everyone judges me highly because i have driving anxiety. it's really hard for people in my life and society in general to be understanding of someone who doesn't drive
you're controlling a 2 ton metal death trap at high speeds along with hundreds of other drivers on the roads around you
but yet im the weird one for having issues with driving. it's like all of society just accepts the dangers of driving and if you have fears you're a pussy. millions, fucking millions of people die a year in road accidents but im the social outcast for refusing to drive
driving is dangerous yet im the weird one for having hang-ups about it
slow reaction, inability to gauge distance as accurately. That's how he got T-boned.
It's a sedative. It makes you drowsy and less aware. It also decreases reaction time and coordination. A lot like alcohol, but you never realize how impaired you actually are.
21 yrs old here. Never learned to drive. To be honest I don't care that much at all I like walking anyways
I'm the post directly above as well. I don't know how to drive because no one ever taught me and I never had a car.
you will care when you start dating, applying to jobs, have shit to do etc
do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to flirt with girls and then tell them you don't drive
Are you a eurofag?
I wish I didn't have to drive, but burgerland doesn't have any public transport and things are too far apart to walk
really makes you think, do the normies really just ignore the fact they in danger all the time on the road? or do they just blindly trust other people and their own "skills"?
Fuck off you limp-wristed faggot - this isn't Reddit.
23 and just never bothered to sign up. Seems like a ton of work and it was never the right time to do it. Might give it a try soon though.
jeez, who shat in your cereal this morning
Shit, this is literally me but i'm 28.
Im 22 and iam extreme afraid of driving a car or even driving with a bike on the street.
Because:
>be 14
>fucking retarded
>bought myself a moped (only 250 euro)
>here in germany you can make your moped license with 14 but i was to lazy for it
>I drove with it illegaly
>One evening i drove with some other guy i met and he was drunk, he was 15 and had a license
>One night we decided to make a race on some street
>We started and had a crash
Iam sooooo fucking lucky that nothing terrible happened because that would fucked my life forever.
Since that day iam scared.
How do you learn to drive when you have no friends or family in the area that could lend you a car?

No one. People like you need to learn Jow Forums is not a safe place is discuss your feelings. Either expect to get shit on, at least once, or go back to wherever you came from because it's pretty obvious you're new to Jow Forums regardless of how long you've been here.
I live in USA. I'm in a city so I take public transit everywhere and yes transit sucks but I don't mind most of the time. As for things being too far to walk, that's all about attitude desu. I regularly walk a few miles to the store and a few miles back. Maybe that's crazy but I enjoy those walks, my mind feels free and clear and it's also decent exercise.
Yeah jobs have always been awkward, because before I even apply I have to check if I can even get there. School also kind of sucks, I have to leave 2 hours early to get to class, which means I have to be up and awake and out the door even earlier. Also the transit sucks so many days there are delays etc and that makes me late and made me miss a test before. I will admit that there's serious drawbacks.
Dating probably wasn't an option for me anyways.

Most go for like $1000, even if you total it it'll still be worth at least $300 as scrap
You can buy a car with just a learners permit?
you got a loicense to be on the internet, mate?
in the usa you definitely don't need a liscence to own a car. you don't even have to be a citizen to own land
Damn dude, you fucked up by adding a "I" where it didn't belong and then you fucked up AGAIN by adding a random #. Are you drunk by any chance?
yes yes repeat it again
>have license
>don't even have a car
>still terrified when driving
i'm 23 and also a licenselet. is it too late for me?
no, they still let 23 year olds take the driving test
When I was in driving school there were literal boomers taking the test
No, I'm just being ironic.
No idea, ask at a local police station or rmv
You almost certainly need to have insurance and somebody who's had their licence for a few years to learn on it
In my state to take the driving exam you need to have a car with the e-brake in the center console
