I'm only 21 but i like sounding like a crotchety old dude XD

So i had my first ever full on panic attack for the whole duration of my first road test.

For starters i was the last to go, there were two different people administering the test and i watched every single person before me fail with the lady i did it with. And then my parents never showed me how to parking break so THAT went bad. And she was super rude and all "you need to know how to use a car to drive" blah blah
At this point i'm having a panic attack and we haven't even left the parking lot yet. And then we leave the parking lot.
Spoiler
It was a clusterfuck
I almost hit a pedestrian.
I did a PERFECT parallel parking job but i reversed up onto the curb instead of pulling out.
Basically after that I repressed it all but it was NOT a fun time.

And then the second road test was such a JOKE. So easy. I didn't even have to do a real parallel park job... just behind a car.

Made me so so mad because the first one was intentionally like that and it gave me literal ptsd about driving. I STILL get panic attacks when i drive sometimes.

All because of a nasty practitioner *rages*

aw yeah emerging adult squad *hi five*

It was a really really bad time :')

So what helped a lot was that for the second one I picked an area i knew was more relaxed (the first one was in a city lololol suburb for the second one)
I also visited the dmv where it was and drove around the area a few times to get accustomed to the area.

Also go on a monday morning first thing
they also wish they were asleep

You got this!

The state I live in has super strict driving laws even though we all drive like maniacs.
