I never would have felt err relaxed (?) enough to cry in my driving instructors car, but I dunno if that's a good or a bad thing. When he was mean to me, I just sulked a bit and didn't know how to deal with it, then I ditched him. I am not sure offering advice on driving really actually helps much, because when people did it to me, it kind of just made me feel like I had one more thing to remember when I was trying to put it in a lower gear, brake, indicate and everything else that comes with a ruddy junction.
I do think though that at some point things will just click and after that it will be a lot easier. Yeahhh you'll still do mistakes, but they won't seem so huge.
I found it quite hard to learn something new which was unconnected to anything else I do. Like in work if I have to learn a new task or computer programme, I can put it in context with stuff I already know. But driving is not something I'd ever been interested in, I don't care for cars and I don't know how a gear box works. I found it quite helpful in the end to approach it like revision or something. Learning a whole new language. I sat in an armchair and went through junctions, checking my mirrors, changing gear etc til I knew the "routine". Obviously there are many factors outside the car which effect the way you can/have to drive but once you know the routine then you can amend accordingly.
So, after saying giving advice was probably useless, I have written loads.
Heh heh all advice is welcome. I really like my tutor. he's cool. Maybe that means I cry easier!! But I just hate to be bad at things. I need to do some practising outside the lessons for sure. I might make some big posters for my house with all the routines on! Hope you're good!! xx
