I’ve barely drove since I got my license back in August, and don’t know what to do
I got my driving license last August, and since i’ve got it i’ve been begging my mom to let me self practice on her car and she refuses every time, asking me to get a private tutor instead of wrecking her car :/
Shortly after getting my license, she let me drive on her car to see what i’ve learned. She told me I was terrible at balancing the distance between parked cars and the route i’m driving in, also telling me I was terrible at turning because i’d get too close to the pedestrian. Nothing constructive, just criticism telling me how i’ll never get better at driving even with self practice.
I practiced with my mom for the first time in a public busy road, I was slightly nervous at first and tried to remember the skills i’ve learned, but everything I did was wrong even when I tried to get it correctly. Also no I have not failed my driving exam, just happened to have learned to drive in a quiet, less busy space, which was very easy getting used to it.
She’s been nagging me every single day since last September telling me I should get a private tutor to teach me how to drive, and I should be driving instead of relying on public transport, but when I asked for her permission to let me use her car to self practice (in our neighbourhood early in the morning) she flat out refused by telling me that i’ll definitely wreck her car, not trusting me with her car. My friends can’t help since all of them don’t drive.
I really want to get back into driving again, now that I got a job at a place very far from the subway station, plus public transport had been getting very costly as of late and don’t want to rely completely on it. Also not a fan of Uber and the like. What do I do now???
I’m so conflicted rn. Sorry for the rant i’m starting getting so tired of these daily complaints.
