I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I have a drivers license, but do not drive particularly well. I don't remember how to parallel park, and would not trust myself on crowded expressways.
I think it was Temple Grandin who said that she spent a year driving on country roads before tackling expressways and urban streets, in order for driving to become more automatic. That is probably the kind of practice that someone like us needs.

I learned how to drive when back in high school (around 2000), although since my parents didn't get me a car (I'm the only one in my family who doesn't have one, in fact, and I really can't afford one with my Social Security, which I'm using for college), my skills pretty much went to waste, and I certainly wouldn't be able to drive if given the chance or car. I really want to re-learn how to drive and get a car since I will need one if I ever look for a job, and can't rely on public transportation/my family's transportation forever, although I am sort of concerned that I'd get into accidents often, get tickets often, and maybe be declared mentally unfit to drive. Do any of you here drive, and/or have similar concerns about driving if you don't?
