Getting nervous

It gets easier the more you do it. You'll be relaxed and it'll be like driving your car. Don't be so complacent you forget the dangers but relax. You'll be be just fine.

 

I have been driving for 38yrs I still get nervous taking a road test. driving a truck is like riding a motor cycle if you think you have full control thats when something is going to happen. being a little nervous means you are paying attention. dont let things that arent going wrong bother you. worry about them latter or that will distract you from what you are doing. good luck

 

thats what i was thinking...its is good to be nervous and more careful than overconfident and careless!!!

 

Try a shot of whiskey before you head out ok I'm kidding but its ok to be nervous, just slow down, take it easy and enjoy the view

 

Thank you so much for sharing that downshift pattern with us I like that and I think it's going to help me when I got off to trucking school.

 

Being a little nervous can be a good thing. When I am a little nervous or as I like to say cautious I notice my senses are heightened and I am more aware of my surroundings which is a good thing. When I started driving 17 years ago my trainer who was also my best friend gave me some great advice. He said " dont ever loose respect for or take for granted what you are doing because then you will get in trouble" Those words have helped keep me safe for 17 years.

 

Oversteer? Are you kidding me? I have been doing this for a long time and I still have days that I cant back in a spot if I had a 50 acre field to maneuver in. Seriously, I think you have the proper attitude to do well. Good luck

 

for me i drive better by me self got nervous when some one is with me its much easier on your own have fun be safe

 

Your not nervous yet, your just jittery. First major snow/ice storm /blizzard you will be nervous! Just kidding, take it easy, relax an learn.
