I can drive for example find it easy to drive to work and back to my town and separate shopping area.

I do struggle with some things, a little bit like lot of times I can find it very easy to drive at night.

Licnse 7 years, driving on/off 4 years continuous driving 3 years

Had lessons on first lesson driving instructor said you wasting your money you just need to practice more, when it’s quiet, this was for huge rouandabouts, and big roads lots of turns junctions etc

The only thing that I can advise is practice, practice and more practice.  Go into a supermarket car park when it’s quite and practice there.  Get someone to stand behind you and test your mirrors.  Go out on the major routes when it’s quiet to build up you confidence.

It may be that there’s some areas that you can’t do.  There’s a junction that I try to avoid as I find it very difficult to navigate.  I can get around using a different route.  My Dad doesn’t like night driving nowadays.  That’s fine - he goes about in the day.

Finally, I’ve been forced into an automatic due to mobility issues.  I should have changed years ago as it’s so much easier that a manual.  If you’re struggling to manage everything, changing to an automatic with decent (not the teeny ones that some cars have) mirrors maŷ help.
