Many novice drivers feel insecure while driving, and some are downright afraid to drive, especially on busy streets. To get rid of insecurity, you need to find out what exactly causes fear and eliminate the reasons for its occurrence.
Confidence in driving comes with experience, but what if you have little experience yet? You can just wait for him to type, or you can speed up the process and learn to be calm and confident in a shorter time. In general, you determine the terms for yourself. If you think you'll need a month of training, chances are you will.
Usually, novice drivers are afraid of the thought that they will not be able to properly cope with the car, stall at the wrong moment, park badly, there is not enough room for a U-turn, etc. If these or other similar situations have arisen, conduct a "debriefing", later, in a calm atmosphere, preferably before going to bed, in slow motion scroll through everything that happened before your eyes. Remember how hard you pressed on the gas, brake, clutch, how you turned the steering wheel, and especially important, how you felt, what your breathing was, what muscles were tense. Usually, in difficult situations, breathing is held, the abdominal muscles tense. See if you had this. After that, also in slow motion, scroll the situation so that it is correct, mentally press the pedals with the required force and unscrew the steering wheel until a certain moment.
Do not be too lazy to create a similar situation for yourself and do everything again, but this is how you imagined it. And while doing this, do not hold your breath and relax tense abdominal muscles (or others), this will drive away fear, calm you down and help you feel more confident.
In the first days of independent driving, it is recommended to drive as often as possible, preferably along streets with quiet traffic. Before the trip, plot a route in your head, mentally go through it, think about where you will pick up speed and where to decrease, in what place show a turn signal or change gear. such trips will help you better feel the car, understand with what effort on which pedals you need to press. Later, all this will be done "automatically".
It is better if you drive without passengers. First, you won't feel uncomfortable in front of them. Secondly, get used to making decisions on your own while driving. in a driving school, the main responsibility was with the instructor.
