One of my sons took a driving course similar to what you'll be taking.  It gave him lots of confidence.  Towards the end of the course, his instructor also had him drive a couple of the courses he'd probably drive in his license test.  

Congratulations on taking the course.  I'm sure the next happening will be to take the test and have that license in your wallet.

Really?, cool! I bet it gave him lots of confidence, I hope it'll be the same for me. Wow!, I hope my instructor does the same thing for me that the instructor do a couple of the drive courses that might be on the license test, that would be great.

 

:-) ...thank you! Indeed, I can't wait to pass the Driver's Ed. courses so I can get my very first drive's license in my wallet!

 Do you have access to a family friend with a car?  Often just practicing in wide open spaces helps to give you confidence about your ability to control the car.  I took my son out into a BIG open parking lot, let him just learn how the car acts when beginning to move, what it feels like to turn the car, cautiously speeding up and slowing down, etc.  The first thing I taught him was how to stop the car!  Kind of like skiing;  you really want to know how to safely stop moving!

I'm sure your instructor will be very helpful, and you'll be exploring your skills in no time.

Go!!

Yes I do, my family. Indeed. That's how I want to start off with, so I can learn how the car acts when beginning to move, stop, turn, etc..., etc.... That's the most important in how to stop the car! Indeed; So true!

I'm sure that my instructor will be very helpful, looking forward in exploring my skills in no time.

Thank you for your input!
