I went to learn how to drive.. I'll say right away: I didn't want to, I was never interested, I was perfectly happy as a passenger, but I understand it's convenient: two kids, activities, doctors, and just in general.. The time of year isn't ideal either. So I got into our car, my husband was saying something, showing me, we have a manual transmission. Yes, I understood about the gears, I even drove a little, he made me reverse. But! I feel like a blind kitten, where do I look so I don't hit anyone (I know there are mirrors 🤣). I don't feel the car, it seems huge when I'm behind the wheel. I understand you can just cram the theory, but practice.. that's something else entirely. I'm a total zero.. Tell me I'm not the only one like this? That you were also a complete beginner at first. If I can learn to drive the kids to school and daycare without hitting anyone, that's enough for me, thank you, I don't need more 🤦😁. P.S.: don't judge.. I'm shocked myself
I had blood tests before getting the IUD inserted, they said to get a CBC and ferritin, here are the…

The main thing is not to get upset, not to get lost, not to get nervous, not to get discouraged, not to freak out. In general, everything will work out, practice more 💪

Elena Thank you)) I'm worried that a stranger will yell at me 🤣 I forget about this clutch, it's superfluous, the brake rules! So these are my feelings so far)

It's better to learn with an instructor. When your husband/relative teaches you, it's a completely different dynamic; not everyone is capable of teaching.

Are you and your husband learning on your own or with an instructor?
An instructor teaches step-by-step, from easy to complex, so you don't feel like it's "hard" or "I don't understand anything."

Many have been in your shoes, maybe even all of us 😆
I love driving, I always wanted to. The first six months will be difficult and scary, but then it becomes second nature. I also didn't feel the car, I didn't understand how to split myself and look in all directions at once, but that's at the beginning. Now I drive a manual, have my own car, 4 years of experience, and it's easy, I'm glad I have a car. I like the independence in this regard.
I almost crashed into a pole the first time, scraped the curb during the exam. The first year driving, with my own car, I kissed two bumpers. By the way, the season is perfect, I specifically chose to start learning in the fall so I could practice driving in the winter. Learning in bad weather conditions will be a plus for you, it will be easier later on.

Arina Yes, with him. My husband just showed me, otherwise my mind would have been completely blank.

There's nothing to judge. Nobody knows or can do anything when they first get behind the wheel. Drive a few times and it'll get easier.

It might still work out and you might like it, you just aren't mentally ready or don't feel like it yet. I already knew how to drive 5 years before I even went to driving school, so I never had any problems. But controlling an FPV drone seemed impossible to me just 2 months ago, and I didn't want to try either. I'm not an expert yet, but I managed to do it

Kristina I'll be with an instructor, yes. My husband just showed me, I asked him to, I was scared before he wanted to show me 😁

Elena And I, on the contrary, automatically looked for grip with my foot 😂
If it bothers you, don't hesitate to put them in their place. Even though I have experience, I don't like it when people talk over me, and shouting is even worse. I had a great instructor 👍 on my first drive in the city, he said, 'We're driving at least 57 km/h if no one is ahead; any fool can drive at 20 km/h.' And now, when I drive behind a learner going 20 km/h, I always remember him. Come on, at least drive 40 🤣 oh well

In the beginning, we were all clueless. Practice, practice, and more practice.

They say no one is born knowing how to drive!

I'm learning too! My first lessons were terrifying; I'd get so nervous I'd have diarrhea 🤣 I'd sit on the toilet for an hour before heading to class. But it's okay, I passed everything on the first try. I drove a manual for 4 years, then switched to an automatic with right-hand drive, and now I'm cruising in a minivan! I renewed my license this year – it's been 10 years since I got it. It's funny when I remember how it all started.
My mom always says, “You need to go where you're scared; that's where you'll grow.”

Arina It's okay, that's normal. Nobody is born knowing how to drive. I learned on a Suzuki and took my test in a Camry. When I sat in the car for the exam, I was shocked by its size and how I couldn't feel that long crocodile at all.
