Did you make an mistakes while learning to drive ?
I've been trying to learn to drive lately because i need my licenses . We started off In a cemetery , hardly any cars and tons of turns . We spent 5 hrs in a cemetery (an hour each day ) then we moved onto a secluded neighborhood today . I accidentally went out of that neighborhood into another so I was gonna circle back around .. Well I accidentally did something that could've (but thankfully didn't ) got us hit in the side . I feel horrible about it . At the time I wanted to cry but I held it in till I now when I got home and away from people . It makes me feel like a failure , that'll I never drive good enough to even pass the test . It makes me want to quit even though I can't.
Should I quit Driver's Ed class?
So, its really bothering me whether to quit or not. In our school, we have this Drivers Education class as an elective. My mom signed me up for it. And now 1 month til school ends, I am thinking if I should leave class or not. I am very nervous, scared, and feeling lost whenever I go to school because I always think of my driving class. My teacher shouts at me and I am really scared. I have never driven before. This is just my 3rd month pf drivng in my almost 16 years of experience. :( I think I'm the only one in my class who doesn't know how to drive maybe that's why he always shouts at me. And then I have this one classmate who loves to make fun of people just because he is a pretty good driver. I am losing my confidence, I am affected, my parents and my studies. Help?! :/

Should I quit Spanish learning if I don’t truly like it but I have native speakers around me and my mom wants me to learn for business reasons but 1’d rather learn Japanese or French because I like it more but I don’t live around any Japanese?
Hey Hinata,I know it’s frustrating when you feel like you’re forced to study something that you really aren’t interested in. I think it depends on your approach here. You say that you are thinking to quit learning Spanish. How much time is it taking up? How long are you studying? And finally, what’s your strategy? If you want to learn Spanish for work, you can focus in on vocabulary and phrases directly related to your job. Same goes with communicating with the Spanish-speakers that you are surrounded by. If I were you, I would limit the amount of time I spend studying Spanish, and pick up Spanish phrases that are related to my exact purpose. I think it will be more fun if you’re not “studying”, but “picking up phrases”. And if you really like Japanese or French, then definitely go for it!Regards,MariamP.S - If you want more resources to simplify your Spanish learning and cut the time you have to spend “studying”, shoot me a private message or email (mariam@spanishwithpurpose.com). All my resources are free.
I can't learn how to drive for some reason. Whats wrong with me?
I am 20 years old and I still can't drive. I've been trying for years to learn but I still can't get it. Its effecting every part of my life I can't ao anything because I can't drive. I live in an area with very limited bus service. The nearest bus stop is about a 20 minute walk from my home and only comes once an hour. I half to get up at 4 in the morning because It takes me about 2 and a half hours to get to the community college on the bus. I never get out of the house because its too hard to get anywhere and I had to quit my job because it was taking me hours to get there and the bus was always breaking down or running late making me late all the time.I'm so depressed. I took my driver's ed class back in high school but I kept failing the written test. By the time I finally passed it I was already 18 almost 19 and out of high school. Then came the actual learning how to drive the car. I was so bad I didn't even know what side of the road I was supposed to drive on and could only be in the parking lot for the first year I had my permit. I had a driving instructor and I went through the whole program yet I still couldn't get it. I tried to pass the test at the DMV in vain but I failed and my first permit expired. I got my second permit and am trying trying trying again but I still suck. I don't understand why driving seems to be so easy for everyone else and so nearly impossible for me. I see little 15 and 16 year old kids driving around with their licenses including my little brother no problem yet me a 20 year old can't do it. Whats wrong with me?? Is it possible that I have some kind of disability that is preventing me from learning how to do this? What can I do to learn? This is effecting my self esteem and every part of my life. I just want to be able to go out and have fun like everyone else.
How long does it take to learn how to drive a car when being taught by an instructor?
Usually, a licensing area requires you to pass a written test first. After that, you can start getting lessons from a certified instructor. I don't suggest rushing things because cars can be dangerous to yourself and to others. After around 16 hours with the instructor on the road, which is around 10 or 11 lessons, and a certain amount of time, you should be able to take a road test to get your full license (or a partially full license, depending on where you live). That's from my own personal experience. By the way, there are plenty of great jobs that don't require driving. If you're a beginning driver in a driving job, you are even more dangerous on the road than other beginners because you will be driving all the time, and you may learn lots of nasty habits. Try taking some college courses or doing some training for jobs that don't require driving. Please be safe.
How long does it take to start learning drive thru at McDonald's?
It all depends on how quickly you learn, your speed and your efficiency. It may look easier for drive thru, but they have to take money, make change and take orders at the same time. You have to multi-task like crazy and it can be overwhelming if you get flustered easily or don't know what you're doing. So maybe this new guy picks things up easily. But who knows. It's not really a promotion; you just learn more which gives you more opportunities. Like you can start doing different things during your shift, not always just being up at front counter. And if someone that was scheduled to work drive-thru all day calls out sick, they could call you and know you could fill in and be good at it. You could always casually ask when you can learn drive-thru. I did, and learned that day. Took me about three days to master being there.
How can I stop being scared to learn to drive a car?
There are a billion drivers out there. None of them want to crash, but sometimes do. Most do not, most of the time. I like to think of driving the way I try to psych myself for a roller coaster- “People never die on these things. It’s safe. If it wasn’t, people wouldn’t ride them.”Now while driving a car is a bit more dangerous than braving a rollar coaster, at least you have control. You control the speed. You control the steering. You check your mirrors twice then twice more. Once you overcome fear of yourself, it all boils down to other people. I grew up in a quaint little city, where laws were mostly respected, save for the odd bank robber or pizza assault. Wheras now I’m in college, in a new quaint city by the coast, and let me tell you these people drive BLIND. I cross the street at my own risk.If you need a safe place to practice driving, an empty parking lot seems ideal. Have a good sense of humor. If you mess up, park crooked, run over a cone- laugh it off, you’re learning.
How hard is it to learn to drive a stickshift?
Most people learn to get the car underway and stopped with a stick transmission in an hour or so, in an empty parking lot, or on a side street. Another hour to get the basics of gear changes, and to quit grinding gears during shifts. It takes several more hours of practice to learn to anticipate the needs of the car for power and gear changes, by tachometer and speedometer readings, engine sounds, and seat of the pants feedback. It can take months for interested people to really learn to keep a car balanced, cat like, on its suspension using subtle inputs of throttle, clutch and gear stick over winding, hilly suburban roads. But it is all kinds of fun, when you do. The biggest thing you have to do, as a young stick shift driver, is to commit, 100% to driving, with a stick shift. There is just enough extra demand on your attention when driving a stick, that you can't handle a cell phone, or an .mp3 player, or 3 friends having a party in your car, while you drive. You just have to drive. Personally, I think this can be a Good Thing. Driving a stick, with your attention focused on the driving task, makes you a potentially safer, more observant driver. But, if you get cocky, and start to juggle a lot of distractions, the higher attention demand of a stick can rise up and bite you.
Should I struggle learning manual or just drive automatic? I'm not a car person and need to drive solely for convenience. I feel like automatic driving is less stressful but are the vehicles itself reliable in comparison to manual cars?
Should I struggle learning manual or just drive automatic? I'm not a car person and need to drive solely for convenience. I feel like automatic driving is less stressful but are the vehicles itself reliable in comparison to manual cars?Nothing wrong with an automatic since the vast majority of American vehicles are anymore, but if you can learn to master a manual transmission, more power to you!It’s really simple. That clutch pedal disconnects the power from the engine before it gets to your transmission. Don’t want engine power? Depress the clutch pedal! Use that pedal to start the engine, coast, brake, and, of course, switch gears. The friction point can take a bit of getting used to, and it can be quite hard if the clutch is about worn out, but it’s just a matter of developing the right touch.If you can learn to drive a manual fairly well, you can probably drive just about anything out there! Sometimes that’s a nice skill to have.
