PostHeaderIcon I haven’t driven for 2 years and now when I try to drive my manual car, both my legs become rigid?

I end up jerking my car. I become panicked as therefore have only driven car twice. I really need to get back driving . Don’t know why this is happening. Thought it would be like riding a bike. But now I’m petrified to drive without another driver with me in case I freak

Happened to me after a long illness> Got back in the car and I shook. the thing is you know that it is a responsibility to drive3 a car and things can go wrong. But I tell you, you would not hold a license if you were dangerous. This is first time out nerves. I agree with some of the advice. I rang an instructor and drove around for an hour. This was the confident boost I needed. I realized I really didn’t need the instruction. It was responsibility kicking in…I just wanted to be sure. Driving around for a short while (at clear times) also makes a lot of sense. Driving around a short distant again and again and again will soon get up remembering.
I’ll tell you know you will be surprised how soon it all comes back and how you get from A to B with out a thought.

    This is normal. I have noticed the same things. Driving a car is not like riding a bike, when you gas and break you are using muscles that you don’t normally use if you are resting or walking, so if you are not frequently working out those muscles, they get weaker, and when you are driving you start using those muscles again. Consider it a exercise. Normally when you do exercises you don’t do it in excess. Spend small amounts of time driving in your car, and slowly pick up the amount of time you are spending in the car. This will help you in getting more practice. Spend maybe 5 minutes in the car, n then take a break.
