It's commonplace for parents to help their children through various life milestones. Driving is one of them. However, my parents haven't driven since the 80s and now flash forward to 22, here I am with a learner's permit (G1 in my province) still trying to learn how to drive. Now, I didn't get it until August of last year, but I'm worried I won't be able to figure it out to pass my practical tests.
First of all, my driving instructor isn't very good at instructing me. He over-manages me and it causes me to not be able to focus on driving because I'm instead focusing on what he's saying instead. I'm also not able to get a lot of practice in between lessons because I'm stuck trying to get scattered help between friends and family (which is few and far between), frustrating my instructor because we are still doing basics halfway into the practical lessons.
It seems very frustrating to me that I'm having such difficulty learning such a basic skill.
Before you ask, I live in a poorly serviced area where transit services are not usable career-wise.
Are there any tips that anyone has with dealing with this sort of thing? I was diagnosed with GAD - if that's a factor.
