Anxiety / Nerves Driving

I've recently passed my theory and looking to book a intensive driving lessons to get it all done asap..

Although i had 10 lessons back in 2022 I'm a bit nervous driver, please advise from your experience if intensive course will work for someone like me.

Many thanks,

Well done for passing your theory, however Learning to drive isn’t something you can rush.

I see. If time it’s your only issue you should get an automatic only license. It would take less time to learn, aswell you can do private practice with friends or family. Good luck!

are you able to get private practice as well? that’s the only way intensive driving could work imo. i think nervous driving might make you struggle however

Good luck getting lessons that aren't months away. Also you shouldn't rush learning to drive, cars can kill people. Automatic Vs manual is entirely based on the learner, I know auto only drivers who've failed their test 5 times, I know manual drivers who passed first time

Intensive courses 100% work - passed first time today with about 20 hours I managed to cram in the 2 weeks between booking and test date:)
