Easy asf. But then again I learned many of the rules at an early age cause I wanted to be a cop. Little did I know as a little black boy.

It was a bit scary for me too, but what was even scarier was teaching my wife to drive after she got her learner's permit. There was a lot of yelling and a lot of crying.

I only get a little nervous sometimes when merging onto the freeway

I didn’t really drive a car THAT much when I started driving, I rode a motorcycle. and it was a little scary to drive on the highway at first, but you get used to it

driving a car feels slower/less mobile though since things like turning, accelerating/decelerating, etc take more time and you now have to give a wider berth
on a motorcycle I can turn on a dime and accelerate a lotfaster

Never rode a bike in my life, don't plan on doing that too

The first time I almost caused a grandpa to have a heart attack, when I nearly drove onto the pavement full gas. He just stood there in shock, accepting his fate.

I'm not rather good at controlling the pressure on the accelerator nor the brakes.

I either get unsmooth movement excessively ( fast-slow-fast-slow wtc )

I also find myself constantly micro adjusting the wheel out of fear for slowly drifting out of the lane.

My first time though, I'm sure it'll get better

You will get better I thought I was getting better but my driving instructor keeps shit talking me that I'm making mistakes

not checking the mirror on a round about or some other shit

Yeah, it takes a bit of time to adjust, but eventually, everything just becomes second nature.

me when I realise going 30mph and then going into gear 1 isn’t a good idea (exaggeration but you get my point)

The best way is to either give it good gas while releasing the clutch gradually or use the handbrake method: apply gas, release the handbrake, and slowly let go of the clutch.

I use either depending on the situation really, my main issue is I tend to be a bit too hard on the clutch after I find the bite

You mean you release it to fast?

 

[Kaari]

After I find the bite I press the clutch slightly too much down so when I get the bite I lose it again lol

Once you find the bite point, keep your foot steady on the clutch without pressing it any further. Hold it right at that spot, and you’ll feel a slight vibration as the car begins to engage. Then, gradually apply the gas to move forward smoothly. no need to rush it. With time you wil eventually learn it.
