Hi,
I actually passed my test 5 months ago. I am absolutely terrified of driving though and so the furthest I had driven until the other day was about ten minutes from my house. On Monday, I decided to try driving to uni which is about 35 minutes and involves the A3. I was so nervous but it was at lunchtime so it wasn't busy and it went ok. Anyway, I now want to try driving every day but I finish at 5 or 5.30 and so it will be rush hour. I am dreading pulling onto the dual carriageway! Especially since it's now dark and today it is also raining. How on earth will I see what is going on? I feel I will get so confused. And the fact that you have to enter at a matching speed is horrid because then you don't have a lot of time to make choices! I'm so scared about having to stop or pulling out too soon :( I also hate roundabouts but at least there it's not completely bad to stop if you're unsure.
