Nox I was also a later starter in the driving area. I got my licence when I was 24 (now 31) but then went straight overseas so never got in any practise. Then last year, I finally decided to do something about it. I enrolled in a course called 'Fear of Driving' (I think) and whilst doing it, I got a new job that would require me to drive. So I was pushed into it really. I drive everywhere now, which still amazes me. 18 months ago, I would have dissolved into tears at the slightest thing on the road. I can honestly say that getting over my fear of driving has been the hardest but most worthwhile thing I have ever done.

If you are having issues, maybe look into a course. I found it so reassuring to realise that there were other people like me who got afraid!
