give up - you will cause an accident one day because of these nerves and you will kill or injure innocent people.

Penny please enroll yourself in a High performance car control driving school get a real feel for driving. Besides being a better driver than most out there you will leave your fear behind.

its OK, UK drivers are pretty good, and highway signs are easy to learn

I think you will find that driving in the UK is just as horrendous but more costly in fines!

See a therapist who specializes in phobias. You can feel good when driving! Don't give up. Take it slow and get someone to help. It is a very common issue. Good luck.

Have driving lessons with an instructor.....thay will not only teach you drive but give you the confidence to cope with road conditions and different road types. Don't give up. Good luck.

Sorry to say, but... If you are scared of operating a motor vehicle then maybe you should not be driving. If there is a possibility that you cannot manage a vehicle in a moment of crises or your fear is crippling your judgements then maybe you should refrain from driving. Driving a motor vehicle is Not for everyone. It is probably not healthy to put yourself through such emotional upset all the time either.

Maybe you should wait until you get to the UK. A good instructor will be patient, keep speaking positively and help you build your confidence. I used to be an instructor and specialised in nervous pupils. Don't listen to anyone who is negative about your ability either.
If you continue I'm sure you will suceed.

Good luck with your driving.

Learn here in UK but nerves cause accidents, no way round it, if the confidence does not come pack up, no good having a panic attack if my lad falls off his bike in front of you.

Truthfully, if you have this much fear, maybe you should. When you have this much fear, you are a hazard to not only yourself, but those who share the road with you. There are two major kind of hazardous drivers on the roads. One being over confident, the other being to afraid, scared, fear. You might see a counciler to see where your fear is stemming from.

"DO NOT GIVE UP"
Try to gain more self confidence, and self control over different situations!
Before you preempt your future driving status, wait until you get to UK.
Having had driving experience, I doubt that obtaining a UK drivers licence will not be difficult.
Happy motoring.

Don't give up we all had to start somewhere take more lessons it will all fall into place

If I were you, I'll wait til I get here in UK and learn driving then. I know how bad the traffic is in Pinas, and it didn't help knowing that I'm a nervous wreck. I got my license here in the UK although it's much tougher to get. But traffic here is way better than Manila.

Yeh, I'd give up and never go near a car again in your life.

Try driving an automatic car as you will be able concentrate more on the road. Go back and get extra driving lessons to increase your confidence.
