If you feel anxious about driving, you’re not alone — and you’re not “bad at driving”. Many learners feel nervous, overwhelmed, or lack confidence behind the wheel. The right instructor makes a huge difference.
I provide calm, patient nervous driver driving lessons in Burgess Hill and Mid Sussex, with structured coaching that helps you feel safe, supported and in control.
Common reasons learners feel nervous
You might feel nervous because:
- you’ve had a negative experience with a previous instructor
- you’re worried about making mistakes
- roundabouts feel overwhelming
- you’re anxious about busy traffic
- you’re scared of stalling or holding people up
- you’ve failed a test before
All of this is normal — and fixable.
