nerves are showing with spelling like that,if you really are that bad id go practice somewhere,or find some country roads and take it easy listen to some music you like and take it easy until you feel confident enough...

Id find a quiet car park somewhere, otherwise your nerves might show on the road and nerves can cause accidents (depending on how nervous you are!!).

I was actually very nervous after I passed my test (nearly had a crash 30 mins after passing)

I found that if I went out at night when its quieter or drove round my estate I got better, then I was ok after a day or two.

Good luck

Drive in a quiet area, or some place which you know well, so you know what to expect etc.

I drove around by myself for the 3 nights or something with no music on, maybes do some driving at night. Also 'P's could be used to warn others so to speak?

Just phone the "lads" and then you will forget being nervous and feel the need to act a hero in front of the boys. lol

But seriously, if you aren't confident, avoid busy areas at times that they are busy and just drive anywhere. Only way to get experience and confidence mate is to do.

I didnt drive for close to 11 months while at uni..

when buying a new car I asked to take it for a test drive, he drove me down the bypass, pulled over in a layby, let me in

Had to pull out into a 60mph road, he goes, so do you drive a lot?

I said, "i havnt for a year, lets find out"

he looked so worried hahah

you will be fine, its like riding a bike or swimming

by the second day I was wheel spinning, while smoking and chatting on the phone lol easy peasy

i had 2 months between passing and driving me car, i just hopped in at 4.40 on the morning of my 18th with my dad in the passenger seat, he was telling me where to go, after like 20 mins he just said " Thought you would of been worse than that your a good driver, so do you want to put your foot down then? "
