Hi , I am in US for almost 5 years but havent started driving yet. bonk. My husband is very unhappy about it. I took the written test and got full score. I went to take driving class and I took 10 classes and It didnt help me to drive. Now this summer it want to do that. how did u guys start.... help me to come out of this fear.
Hi Renu, Everybody is having this same fear before start practicing(Me too). I thought I will never drive car. But I did practice a lot. Now I have a license. Just try to keep on practice. You will get a license soon. After some classes from student driver, may be you can practice in your own car with help from your husband. Thats what I did.
In USA its best to start practice on country roads having less traffic and then work into high speed and busy highways. Have your husband drive you out of town and then you drive for a while for the practice. You can combine it this summer with shopping farmers markets or learning routes. Have fun driving!
I used to ride a scooter on Delhi roads but learned driving in the US. My husband gave me initial lessons and later I took driving lessons from a local driving school. We used to find an open parking lot, preferably a church parking lot on weekday mornings and practice there. The only way for you to get rid of your fear is to just get behind that wheel and do it. Go get that monster! :thumbsup You can do it. Raj
