I failed twice, mostly because of anxiety. Now I drive a minivan and aside from one fender bender, I haven't had any accidents in at least a decade and a half. Good luck OP

I got my license at 20 but didn't actually know how to drive. I knew how to parka and the laws but I drove 15 miles an hour. I'm relearning now but it's really really hard.

I was older than you, and terrified of driving when I got my license. I passed on the first try, I was so surprised!

Just get lots of practice and focus in your goal. You'll feel so much more free when you can drive, especially when you live in an area where it's isolating not to. It'll be great! You can do it!

I was 28 or 29 when I finally got my license. Had 5 kids at the time too. My dh, mom, and friends all made me drive them then, so I got comfy fairly quickly. Now I drive anywhere and everywhere. And I don't like when others drive me-I prefer to be in the drivers seat!
