Since the DMV isn't doing testing anymore. I assume you can get a low key test with some people you are comfortable around. I'd trust a 30 year old versus a 16 any day.
You just need to get comfortable behind the wheel. Get a learners permit and have a friend take you out to some country roads where you donât have to worry about traffic. Once you are comfortable with the basics like steering braking and parking, city driving will get easier since youâll have more attention to devote to traffic signs, signals, and pedestrians (!!). City driving is highly complex and you shouldnât be too hard on yourself about the failed test. Those of us who are so used to it that we think itâs âeasyâ are simply forgetting what it was like before our process became automatic (muscle memory). Youâll get there. Fwiw, I agree itâs a bullshit job requirement but good for you for doing what you need to to get ahead!
I am 28, and donât have my license either. Iâve had years where I practice for a couple months, but then I get anxious and my practice dwindles before I ever build the nerve to schedule a test. Iâve been embarrassed about it most of my life, and somehow I still struggle to overcome the anxiety surrounding it. I truly thought I was alone. Thank you for posting this. We should start a support/motivation group.
