Today (08/18/2015) I finished my driving lessons from the Illinois Driving School. I did good on my driving lessons, but still need to improve in some area (mirrors, turning, merging, steering), I'm improving in those areas slowly, otherwise I'm doing good. Before I go on to do the driving test at the DMV I'm going to sign-up for two more lessons so I can improve the areas I still need to improve on so I can pass my driving test at the DMV on my first try. I just need to look at my calendar to find the two good days for me to sign-up with the driving instructor that I had for my 4 driving lessons. Once I finish the two driving lessons that I'm going to sign-up for then not to long after that I'll go to the DMV to take the driving lesson, I hope I pass on my first try.

I just want to make sure I get everything right before I take my driving test at the DMV so I can pass on my first try at the DMV. I hope I just don't get (become) nervous by the time I take the driving test let along during the driving test.

Yes I do! Once I get my Driver's License, I'll get a DeLorean Time Machine and kick it up to 88 m.p.h so I can travel though time. Care to join me on that Kathy S.?

You keep practicing and you will be fine. I have a few friends who do not drive. They have put themselves where they have to ask someone to take them and they do not have the freedom. 

I have to say driving is one of my favorite things to do.
