Driving and Anxiety

Hello, 

I recently did my driving test and failed due to anxiety , I just wanted to get some tips from autistic drivers who failed first time what advice they may have for me to smash the next exam?

  • I haven't taken my tests yet as I have just started to drive but remember it's okay to feel anxious, especially during a test. I've heard chewing gum can help take a bit of anxiety away. Also if it helps, narrate what you are doing. It can give you reassurance but also give the Driving instructor reassurance and they know that you know what you are doing! :) Good luck :)

  • These days you have to know how to use a satnav as part of your theory test, I'd fail that if I had to do the test again, I've never used one and I think the only thing I'd want to know is how to turn it off.
