Hi im 21 and i got my learners at 16 too. It was a sweat-a-thon going throught the driving test but i made it! ah ha! There are so many tests and stages to go though. I used to Be really anxious on the road too. afraid to go fast or too slow in case the people behind get annoyed. But now, it'll be a few weeks till i get my full license, what a relief, no more tests, and now i don't really care about other drivers. Before, i would be self conscious when there are cars coming towards me, its like they'll be staring at me through the windshield. But like i said, after a few years, it gets a lot better. Hope its the same for you. Everyone gets nervous when they start driving no matter SA or not, so ur not alone. As it is with everythin, practice more, especially when there's other cars on the street, so u get the hang of driving in the midst of traffic. Good luck! and by the way i got beeped and half swore at, but i came out fine. I remember the car nearly ran backwards into this car of hoons, and all i worried about was that they were annoyed with me ha!
