How the hell do you keep calm when doing something that strains your nerves to the max? - General

[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;21583627]Don't worry about the test. Driving is more about doing it safely than being pinpoint precise. If you do what he says in a safe way, chances are you'll pass. Be sure to use common sense, go to the bathroom beforehand and if you can, do the same route beforehand. I know driving schools take students on the driving test route right before the test, and I think they sometimes offer this at a single lesson price. Try getting one of those, may cost $100 but it's worth it.[/QUOTE] My local DMV switches it up slightly between tests, so something like that would have been useless. YMMV.

Pretend to be cool about it. In turn you might actually stop pretending and just be cool.

Alright test is tomorrow and I feel confident, I've had 3 lessons since Friday and I've pratically aced them all. I'm a little nervous and my IBS is playing up, so I think I'll start taking more Rescue Remedy and use my cool face a lot. HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS Can you guys recommend any breathing techniques? [quote]PrismatexV8 My local DMV switches it up slightly between tests, so something like that would have been useless. YMMV.[/quote] Aye, each test is different and different maneuvers each time. SAKE

get a massage! A massage always de-stresses me. Or just taking a nap, I have to try and not do anything to calm myself down.

Never had this problem but try and relax before going, it's all about the mindset.

I just sit and wait for the worst to happen... And BTW, 100th post

You sir are not alone, I'm doing my 4th! Yes 4th driving test on the 27th May. I shit myself before each one, but I've had sex for the first time now, so now I should be calmer. THEORETICALLY.

I fucking hate IBS. Had it for 5 years now. Especially since it gives me stomach aches like every damn day. Umm, I suggest chewing minty gum. That's what I do. Helps a lot.

I always used to take mushrooms before I drive :smug:

Fap. Also to loosen up use ralgex or bengay :D. jk.

You are a motherfucker, and you will fucking destroy that test and be cruising around FUCKING BITCHES YEAH! [QUOTE=Pascall;21590564]I fucking hate IBS. Had it for 5 years now.

I myself am the former, and to endure it every single day, I don't see the point half the time. SUFFERING MINTY GUM DOES NOT HELP OH GOD THE GAS I KILLED 6 MILLION JEWS [QUOTE=werner;21590742]I always used to take mushrooms before I drive :smug:[/QUOTE] I wish I could do that and subsequently live up to my name!

[QUOTE=MisterM;21551179] I failed the first two times not because I'm a bad driver but because my IBS and nerves fucked me up[/QUOTE] If you can't keep calm when behind the wheel you're not a good driver.

What usually works for me is taking deep, slow breaths for a minute. It also works to kill a boner when needed.

I keep calm behind the wheel, I was calm when driving with my mum and I'm calm when driving with my instructor. I'm generally calm ALL the time when driving, it's just when I have a test I get nervous. I'm under pressure, everything has to be done PERFECT or I fail. I [B]HATE [/B]the examiners.

Focus and acceptance of the situtation.

I'm calm in school most of the time, always calm driving but when you're under pressure to pass something you will shit over everything in a dirty panic. Yes the IBS THE POO!

I will keep that in mind, for boners and driving! :3: I accept the situation, and I accept that I shall challenge and prevail, if not I'll just do it again ASAP till I get it right! Dear children, learn to drive with your parents first, learning to drive is fucking expensive!
