What to do if you haven't driven for three years after getting your license?

You can find someone with extensive driving experience to accompany you while driving, which can provide psychological comfort and allow for communication when encountering situations on the road. Many people become too nervous to drive on the road. As long as you adjust your mindset and relax, you can drive well. Find a quiet, empty road or practice at night when there are fewer vehicles, with someone accompanying you, and practice for several days.
After getting my driver's license, I didn't touch a car for three years. When I first got behind the wheel again, I was extremely nervous, with sweaty palms. I found an experienced friend to accompany me for practice. He took me to a quiet residential area where I practiced starting and parallel parking a few times to regain some feel. Then we gradually moved to less crowded roads. I also downloaded a traffic rules app and reviewed it for ten minutes daily to avoid forgetting basic traffic regulations. I drove short distances frequently to familiarize myself with road conditions, avoiding peak hours and gradually increasing the distance. After a few weeks, I gained confidence. It's important to stay calm and not rush onto highways. Now, I drive weekly for grocery shopping, and it's much smoother. The key is to practice patiently and not be afraid of going slow.
