Driving and Anxiety

Halima

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 passed first time time. It was a long time ago, but I think I thought I had failed in the first few minutes so just relaxed and it was ok. I only had one observation, so whatever I thought at the start was wrong. You primarily need to be safe and in control.

    The first time I had driven without stalling was on the driving test.

    It is very scary though.

    But not as scary as driving on your own the first time.

    Once I passed I had no driving instructors car to use, so bought a cheap crap thing. Then the first drive on my own was to get it home on the south circular in London. I took a 2 mile detour just to avoid a tricky junction.
