Learning to drive a car!

I went to the driving course to learn driving. It took me more than 10 days till I got the hang of it. When learning to drive, there are three feelings you've got to master: 1) Road feeling : The more you drive, the quicker your feeling toward road feeling. 2) Steer feeling : You can control the car well.You will get the comfortable feeling about your car. 3) The feeling of eye contacts via mirrors. You can look at the back from th mirrors on the right and left side.

You are normal, anyone who is not nervous at first is stupid. This is a big machine and can easily kill. It's best to take it slowly and not rush, it may be expensive to learn but better to do this with no shortcuts, you will be a much better driver. Blessings

I passed my practical driving test in February 2010. I learned how to drive in an automatic car and at one particular time I did try out driving a manual car. I went back to learning in an automatic car because it was perfect for me. I would say that practice makes a good driver. Once I had learned how to drive fairly well I bought my own car to get extra practice. I had lessons with my driving instructor as well too. I did my practical driving test in his car. My car has A for automatic and I drive in that gear. I put it in N when I park and apply my hand brake. If I am reversing I put it into R. I like to remember the mirror, signal and then move when changing direction. I found reversing the most difficult thing to learn like backing around a corner. My driving instructor helped me know how to do that. For the practical driving test I tried to imagine the lady was my friend. Well, it worked. Good luck. Yes, driving lessons are pricey.

When I was learning to drive I went to a driving school. It took me 10 days to be able to drive. But that was not enough, so I took another 10 days just to get the hang of it. The advantage of learning to drive from a driving course is that you learn not only how to drive but learn traffic regulations as well. Do not risk learning to drive by yourself. Many who did this had several accidents.

haha.. i can't even drive a bicycle..

hello, That is a very challenging moment I ever had. When I was still learning how to drive I also feel nervous and excited at the same time because everything on my mind is nothing I dont have any idea how does it work but when it got started I feel wow! how nice to drive. I drive a manual car. So, it is really hard because I have a clutch, brake and gasoline. ha ha I dont have car yet but I learned that last year. And I hope I can still drive.

it won't be long before everything you do is without thinking, all automatically, I never thought I would be able to drive when I was young but I have been driving for years now, driving a car sets you free in a way...

I guess a lot of us also experienced some difficulty when we first tried driving a car. I was a 13-year-old kid when I sneaked my dad's car out of the garage but didn't go too far since I backed the car to a ditch :) Personally, learning how to drive a car is relatively easy. The hard part is driving in traffic and anticipating cars in front of you, behind you or on the sides of you.

Even I wanted to learn how to drive and hope I will be learning in few months. I really don't know how I would feel. It is good that you are learning how to drive. It might seem difficult at the first time but with time it should certainly get easier. Have some patience and keep learning. You may get nervous some times but soon you will gain courage. Learn safely!

Well, you are driving an automatic car. It should be fairly easy to learn how to drive that because the hardest thing in learning how to drive is when you are actually on a hanging area. You have to make the right mix of clutch and acceleration to be able to stay at that hanging area. But with an automatic car, that won't be a problem at all. Anyway,just focus on trying to learn how to drive. I also suggest that you try to learn the etiquette on the road already. Like the rules and regulations, the meaning of the lines and when to light in and light out. Practice and practice and practice. It will surely make you comfortable in the road whenever you practice often.

I can imagine what you feel. Even now, I still feel nervous (because I am rarely driving a car). There is no other thing you can do. The more you drive faster the nervous gone. Just drive carefully and do not think too much regarding the theory. The main thing is brake it if you feel too fast or too near to something. Although I am not fluent at driving car (but at least I already try several type of car and on difficult track), I am fluent in driving motorcycle. Wishing you can be fluent soon.
