Can you change driving instructors to one you can work with better.

I am 63 & have been driving since I was 13. From 13-16 it was learning time out on deserted streets in the southern California desert.

Driving to me was critical. My mom didn't drive & my dad was working when rides were needed. Hated the sheltered life this forced me into & public transportation even back in those days wasn't the safest.

My desire to drive was so important. Maybe because I was young, I always felt one with the vehicle I was driving. That for me is key. I know where everything is all around me when driving & stay focused in case I have to make a sudden move to stay safe.

I started with smaller cars. Then Jeep Cherokees & now I have a huge quad cab truck I haul my horse trailer with. Love driving winding mountain roads. The key is knowing your vehicle. Having a feel of how it handles in different situations & always knowing what is going on around your vehicle when driving at all times.
