I'm 32 years old and only started learning to drive last year. Put it off for ages due to extreme anxiety around driving. Anyone who is in a similar situation, believe me - it gets easier. Every time you drive you will feel less nervous than last time. You are learning a skill, it takes practice. It will never be as terrifying as the first time. And it's worth it.

[dev_tetsuo]

Just passed my test finally trust me guys it’s easy. Just stay calm and you’ll be good.

[pressedferns]

i’m 19 and REALLY want to drive but I have a lot of anxiety around it. this is such a nice way yo be reassured and get to view calm, casual driving from the driver’s perspective. thank you!

[lavonnealexander]

😂I really like this driving instructor, she cares about the rules and it pisses off drivers.

[Itz_mollie]

I love her calmness . You sound professional.

[checaudill]

It was literally my first day as a new driver today.. I was anxious that even when I got home I am still nervous until I go here in YT to find some advice. Thank you for this!

[Sparkymag]

Jaqueline rocks as an instructor. This nervous driver really appreciates these videos.

Great tips! I'm driving for about a year now and I would still say I don't feel confident driving. I thought I should feel like a "pro" by now but I was wrong. I'm still nervous about my judgement, turning, driving in unfamiliar places etc. Anybody else feel the same way even though you're driving for quite a while now?

[lapetitediva]

I wish I had you to help me in real life to refresh my driver's lessons (it's been a while since I've been behind the wheel). Pray that I start driving again and find someone to reteach me.

I can’t explain how much calmer this made me feel!! Thank you so much, Jacqueline, for these videos. I’m starting driver’s ed next week, and now I feel like my demeanor is much more calm. Realizing that I am in control, and to not let others on the road taunt me makes me feel sooo much better!! I can’t wait to start my drives, and I’ll update when I start driving. :)

[tgh]

I love your peaceful vibe. Your smile puts me at ease. I will remember your advice the next time I practice my driving. Thank you!

[MwishaLudack]

You know what, I don't just feel a little better, I feel at ease and relaxed watching you making it easy to drive, I also feel very confident. These are perfect tips for a new driver. I'm one of those people who felt terrible slowing down traffic behind me, especially if a frustrated driver honked at me because they wanted to speed by breaking the speed limit. Now I know what to do. I really enjoyed this. Thank you ma'am. God bless you

[Onipez]

Jacqueline youre a saint, I admire the way you keep your vibe protected

[angelainyt]

Thank you for making a video on "Anxiety" because, this did come to mind, that, we should mainly be concerned about our own driving - This video's thumbnail is missing "To" for "How To"

[tipharrison]

I am glade I found you I feel nervous when I drive I take deep breath 😮 in and out and stay focused on the roads.

[outroseok]

I binge watch these videos at night and learn to drive for 1-2 hours each day after work. Videos are definitely helpful, I don't think I would have ever had the guts to get behind the wheel of a car without watching loads of videos first as much as my dad is a great teacher it's nice to also get advice from professionals like you :')

[akbarmirzo]

i am slowly gaining confidence thanks to you, Jacqueline! please never stop uploading

[justinb]

[markanthonyidos]
