1. Actually stopping at stop signs instead of having an internal monologue that goes like this (and then plowing right through them):

Oh, look, look! There's a stop sign! It says STOP,

I didn't think it was possible to be so uncoordinated that you couldn't operate a motor vehicle properly .

I've definitely had my share of problems with numbers 2 and 5, and have had issues with the others too. I hated driving at first but once I kept making myself do it, it got much easier. Just be patient with yourself, try not to freak out, keep practicing and you'll get better. <3

I haven't given up yet (although my instructor's on vacation until December) :)
I really don't freak out all that much unless I try to do something I'm really not ready to, and, really, given the fact that I could actually get myself killed, I think that's justified. But generally I don't spaz at all.
