Hey yall, quick simple background on me. I'm 26, turning 27. Live in the Miami area, come from a not super well off family (financial struggles happen more often than not)

So I have always had an interest in driving, and I feel like if I was doing it, I'd actually enjoy it a bit. However, I still do not have my license or even my permit. I took the test once and missed it by one question years ago, and never wanted to force my parents to repay for anything, knowing our struggles. Anyway, that was a while back, I now live on my own (with a gf.) And still do not drive whatsoever. I feel like an utter failure that I never went a did it, but just being in the passengers seat, I get anxious. Other people on the road, at least around here are incredibly reckless and aggressive and I immediately picture myself wrecking at every close call or reckless driver I see. 

So I'm not only anxious about actually being on the road, but also taking the tests to do so. It drives me insane l the time, knowing how much simpler some things would be if I drove, but how raised my anxiety could/will be. I'd love to get any advice on how to over come this fear, get my shit straight and get on the road, but the idea makes me so nervous and anxious to follow through. 

I know it's kind of pathetic, and pretty much everyone does it. And I want to change it, I just don't know how to over come it. 


I'd appreciate it
