08:21 Top tip 1: pick your road trip buddies wisely - If you're feeling nervous, having the right person along for the journey will help you relax and feel calm. Ideally, you want someone supportive and reassuring.

09:52 Top tip 2: know your route - confident driving often comes with familiarity, so knowing where you are going will help you feel prepared for the road before you reach it.

12:11 Top tip 3: address the areas where you lack confidence - try to think about areas where you feel you lack confidence, such as motorway driving or parallel marking, and plan ways you could practise these before long drives. This might feel really scary, but if you put in the time now to conquer your fears, you’ll feel really pleased for having done it when you have to do it in the future.

16:04 Top tip 4: don’t worry about other drivers - there are a lot of bad drivers out there who act aggressively on the roads - it’s enough to put anyone off! I’d encourage you to hold your ground and refuse to feel pressured. You have the same right to be on the roads as anyone else and you can set your pace! Don’t be swayed by what other people are up to, just concentrate on you and your journey.

21:50 Top tip 5: practise makes perfect - ultimately, the best way to improve your confidence on the road is by practising. The more you do, the more familiar it becomes, and the more comfortable and confident you will get!
