I'm 21 and I have my license. I've been driving for like two years and stopped when I went away to college. I didn't have a car therefore once I came back home I felt like a beginner driver when I drove the cars at home. Then I got into an accident. Yay. So I wasn't confident driving when came back home then the accident happened which I'm not surprised it happened but I was like whyyyyyy. Now I'm just not confident at all driving, I'm scared, I don't trust myself, etc. I know it's normal to be scared after an accident but I was already scared when I started. I never felt completely confident driving, I was always nervous of getting into an accident and relying on some spirit to save me from one. I can't do that as much as I want to especially driving. I wish I can just not drive at all and I guess rely in public transportation or other for rides but then I feel dependent which is so not what I want for myself. I don't know what to do because I really don't trust myself driving.

    Only you can turn it around. People learn from their mistakes.
    Try to think about what went wrong and see if there is anyway that you can not do that in te future.

    Sometimes it's not even your fault.

    Even the most accomplished drivers can lose control don't be so hard on yourself.

    Goodbye and goodluck.

    I hit a wakeboarder with my boat (no injuries) but that didn't stop me from boating again.
    I basically hated myself for it and reminded myself although I didn't need to, that I could never be so careless. I freezed up and didn't stop the engine but anyways. I don't think it's a terrible thing that one less person is driving, but I also don't like to see someone live in fear. I think you should think about taking your lessons again and if you still don't feel confident, maybe you wanna try a different type of transportation. Biking, scooter maybe, and just public transport, but I do think it's a little early to give up.

    I wish you the best.

    Yeah. Completely normal. I'm leaning to drive ATM and I thought it would b fun. I was wrong. It proves to b much more than I though. I don't want to drive because of all the things that could happen. To think that making a sudden move could kill someone scares me to death. J

    I think you should take a driving education course. It will probably help you improve your driving skills, and also it should help to get your insurance down too.
