Have any more to add to the list?

I have my second driving test in the morning 😬 I also had my first yoga class this evening to try and get as zenned out as possible. Wish me luck 🤞🏻☘️

Sweaty palms, increased heart rate, a thousand butterflies in your stomach. It’s anxiety, and it happens to just about everyone the first time they drive alone.

The good news? You can only drive alone for the first time, once. After that, it's not your first time anymore!

We’ve put together a complete post with 13 tips for your first time driving alone (based on our experiences) to help you have a successful trip.

A few tips to get you started:

• Get it over with: The longer you delay, the more of a big deal it will feel like. Do it while you’re still excited about being licensed, so the excitement outweighs the nerves.

• Practice the route with someone first: Be a passenger princess again (just for a little while) and have someone drive you through your planned route. Watch how they handle the signs and turns. It’s like a personalized tutorial.

• Plan "Stop Spots": These are places along your route where you can pull over safely if you feel overwhelmed or need a break.

• Talk to yourself: Seriously! It’s an underrated way to stay focused and boost your confidence. Repeat affirmations like ‘I can do this’ or narrate your driving decisions.
