Many many drivers feel this way, and it doesn't matter whether its the day after your driving test or decades after passing your driving test.
At some stage or other, a lot of drivers may feel that their confidence in driving falls off.
And that is perfectly fine by us, and great for you to seeing that you want to stay a safe driver by building your confidence even further and staying a safe driver.
As with a lot of our other training sessions, we will assess you first to see where we think you are and where we feel your confidence needs building.
Sometimes, drivers feel that they are less confident doing certain things and actually they are really good at it but for some reason or other have have their confidence knocked by something someone may have said or something someone else has done.
Once we have assessed your driving we will give a true and honest feedback on how you did and work out a plan of action to increase your confidence levels to where you would like them to be.
You might find it helpful if we offer a demonstration drive to show how something should be done if you are not quite sure yourself, and we will happily do this for you as many times as is necessary for you to get it and feel more confident.
It might be a big roundabout that you have a confidence issue with after someone has beeped you on it.
Sometimes those beeps, although you feel were aimed at you, could well have been aimed at someone else, or it may actually been an embarrassment beep by the driver who beeped to in some way justify their mistake, because by beeping it makes it look like you were at fault and not them.
Or it may be something like certain sets of traffic lights cause you endless amounts of anxiety because the light systems have changed over the years and you don't quite understand them or the sequencing of them ( maybe at a filter system) and that's fine.
In no way are we here to intimidate you or make you feel silly, if anything we can't thank you enough for showing the courage to come forward and ask for us to assist you in becoming a better and safer driver, who is confident in all aspects of driving.
Too many people suffer in silence, struggling with roads every day of the week because they feel embarrassed to come forward and ask for help.
As a driving school our job is to educate to keep as many people as safe as we possibly can for a lifetime of driving. So please never feel embarrassed to ask for our help to make your life simpler and stress free.
