When I read your post I said, this was me. This was one of the biggest hurdles I had to jump. When I took driver's training at 16, my instructor was tough and gave me a hard time. He said unless I could improve, he sure wouldn't want to be on the same road I was driving on. Well that was it, zero confidence. I didn't end up getting my license until I was 26. After that, everything fell into place in my life. It was my Dad that encouraged me to try again. He could see my life was going nowhere. I went down to get my learner's permit (written test) at Secretary of State. I don't know the procedure today, this was 40 years ago. Then we started out practicing on side streets until I became comfortable, then gradually moving onto the roadways. Then came the day to take the road test at SOS. Now nobody could have been more nervous than I was, but in spite of it I did okay and even managed to parallel park. It was one of the best days of my life. Is there someone with patience who would take you out driving? I don't know if you need a licensed instructor to teach you today, but believe it is something to work on. Your life will take a 100 degree turn, as it did with mine. Good luck, don't give up - keep trying.
