Hey everyone, I passed my driving test at the beginning of January, I am picking up my new car tonight and it will be the first time I have 1.Driven on my own and 2.First time I have driven since passing my test!! Any words of encouragement!! I am really nervous about it! How did everyone else's first experience of driving on their own go?!

Cheers!

Enjoy it, watch out for idiots - there are plenty - and consider those around you.

Please get a `P` plate to let other drivers know you are a new driver then it will be safer for all of us and mainly for you. Good luck and happy safe motoring.

Hey thanks for the posts!! Another question, I am picking the car up with my boyfriend and his dad, now do I go off on my own for a bit in the car, or have my boyfriend in the car with me for my first drive? My boyfriend hasnt got a license and I am 23 if that helps?!

How did it go?

Cheers for asking Morello.

It was very scary!! But I am getting use to it! I had my partner in the car which seemed to calm me down more, had a good few drives around town on my own and I am driving to work! Still a bit nervous when I get in the car! Cheers for the posts!

That'll pass. Remember to try and relax, a tense driver will make daft mistakes and over react. If you live in a city, get out into the countryside when you can. Happy days.
