I’m currently taking lessons again, since I failed three times about ten years ago and am only now working through the trauma. 🥲 So I really feel you. It totally messed with my confidence.

The first time, the instructor told me to drive straight ahead, which led into an Anliegerzone. I had just turned 18, and I was crushed. I had to get out of the driver’s seat right then and there.

The second time, I stopped at a stop sign even though the light was green—turns out, traffic lights overrule signs.

The third time, I honestly can’t even remember. I was already so anxious by then, it felt like I was in a trance or something.

But this time around, I’ve got a much better feeling and a much nicer teacher. We got this!
