I'm anxious as hell because I'm about to drive for the first time in over a year

I can’t find a ride to the grocery store so my sister is loaning me her car. I’m so nervous. I’ve been driving for 35 years it should all come back to me right?

It should. Just take it slow.

It’s slow going, just down the street, about a mile

How long since you drove and why did you stop?

It’s been about a year and I stopped because I don’t have a car

I gave my car to my ex-husband in our divorce

I think you should be fine, there is this one time i stopped driving for a while and when i got my truck back i ran a stop sign and almost hit someone, i was fine after that just wasn’t used to paying attention to stop signs at the time i guess and was not used to the road.

Go during the time of day when there’s least traffic.

There was traffic controls for road improvements so I went 5 mph most of the way. I love it when the universe looks out for me.

Perfect! And good job overcoming your fear and doing it scared. That’s very courageous

I just got my license back after two and a half years on medical suspension. It all comes back pretty quick

I was a little shaky, but I didn’t do anything bad. Baking up out of my parking spot was the worst thing because people kept going behind me and I don’t trust the back up camera and it hurts to turn my neck so that sucked.

i think it should just come back to you yea. I didn’t drive in ages and i play a game where you drive a truck and it all came back to me immediately so i think in real life it would be the same… just take it easy at first.
