Can Nervous People Get a Driver's License?
2 Answers
Nervous people can get a driver's license. First, adjust your mindset—treat the test as just another practice session by following your instructor's teachings. Second, mentally review all test items beforehand to ensure you're prepared and avoid panic when getting into the car. Below is an introduction to the driving test subjects: Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Subject 2: Also called the small road test, includes five items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Subject 3: Known as the big road test, assesses road driving skills. Subject 4: Another theoretical test, covering driver knowledge.
I also tend to get nervous, especially when facing new challenges. Before taking my driving test, I worried about making mistakes on the road, and my palms were sweaty. But I knew that nervousness wasn’t a reason to avoid it, so I found a patient instructor and started practicing from the basics—first driving slowly in an empty parking lot, then trying simple roads. I practiced a little every day, focusing on steering and braking instead of ‘what if I crash.’ I also learned breathing techniques—taking deep breaths when nervous helps me relax. After about three weeks, I gradually got used to the rhythm of driving, and my heart no longer raced. On the test day, though I was still a bit shaky, I focused on my practice results and concentrated on operating the car, passing on my first try. Now, driving to work feels quite relaxing. If you struggle similarly, I suggest taking it slow: start with small goals, build confidence, and turn driving into a habit rather than a fear. Nervous people can absolutely get their driver’s license—as long as they take it step by step.
