I'm really not liking driving on my own at all. Partly because I don't want to piss other drivers off..

So I'm thinking of getting p plates.

In fairness I've only had one driver toot at my, and they were being a wanker. But still.

No question get the plates on Most reasonable people will allow you a little time/space to play with.

They show you are newly passed.

Not compulsory or anything. I've not seen them often myself.

But I'm avoiding driving... 😔

Driving should never become a chore. So just drive when you want to.

But I'll never get used to it, or capable.
As I'd happily never drive again.
But after spending all this money, I have to.

I've seen P plates often. A good idea I think,other drivers me give you a little more time. Can you take a family member with you the first few times?

I don't think anyone minds P plates these days. I treat them like L plates and allow the driver more thinking time.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Only my brother could, but he lives with ma.
With numbers so high and the increased risk with my job, I'm staying away.

The sooner you get in the car and drive the easier it will be for you.  Even if it's only a couple of hundred yards to the local shop to start with.
