For context, I'm 31, live in California, and am barely learning to drive (learned a bit in high school, but work, school, and poverty put a huge hamper on it.) I have maybe 12 hours of practice, half with friend half with driving instructor. Went on the freeway for the first time with NY driving instructor and wow, people were right. It IS easier!

This is coming from someone who's highly anxious and still gets nervous the second I get in the driver seat. As long as you mind your space, speed, and stay in your lane it really flies by - literally! Drove like 15 miles East and back home. Easily the most confident I've been.

For those nervous or are dreading your first time, you can do it!!
