Driving anxiety

Thanks DanniRae, I feel embarrassed admitting in real life!

Phoenix- I have a very small budget- are they more expensive? How do they work in practice?

Will you be driving a regular route? I had anxiety about driving to Newcastle, but then got a job at Newcastle Airport and HAD to do the drive. Eventually it became automatic, and my nerves went, I even enjoyed listening to the radio.

I've got a manual car, but would like an automatic, saves your knees!

Totally agree about automatic though

I very carelessly caused a lot of damage to my car a few weeks ago, several thousand pounds worth, no one else involved, on my own property, just a matter of trying to avoid one thing, and hitting something else. But since then, I do wonder if my judgements a bit off, it was such a stupid mistake.

I would fully endorse a small automatic!

No worry about clutch, changing gear etc, leaves you more able to concentrate on where you are going, looking out for other vehicles and what they are doing!

I was "lent" an automatic about 10 years ago, possibly more, and even though I'm "only" 61, I would never consider going back to a manual!

I have it too so am interested in any answers!
