How Failing My Driving Test at 21 Changed Everything

I totally bombed my first driving test at 21 and cried right there at the DMV. It was humiliating—my parents never taught me, and my boyfriend had been helping me practice for a year. I get so anxious in new places, and the DMV was far from home, so I never practiced on the actual course. Watching younger teens pass while I failed stung even more. But after a good cry, I hired a professional instructor. That first lesson was a game-changer—he made me feel normal and focused on building my confidence, not just passing. If you’re struggling, don’t give up. Get help, keep practicing, and remember you’re not alone! Have you ever failed a test and bounced back?
