how’s my driving?

I’ve been driving for eight months now and although I am getting better with driving, I still can’t help myself feeling nervous when I’m behind the steering wheel. Normally most people are irked by heavy traffic but for me that means a slow but safe way to get to my destination.
I hate driving fast and I specially hate it when there’s a car behind me because that means, I must drive to the prescribe speed. This is the very reason why I avoid country roads and express ways. 50km/hr and 30km/hr zones are my best friends but ever since we moved to the suburbs, I have to drive on a stretch of a busy country road to get to my workplace in the city. Every day, before I start my car’s engine, I have to utter a small prayer that goes like…God, please guide me with my driving and please protect other drivers and pedestrians from me.
It would annoy me if I damage my car and I would be sorry if I hurt myself but it would be a terrible terrible feeling if I hurt another person because of my driving. I am not a pessimist and I really do hope that I will never encounter an accident but IF I would get into an accident, I would like that I or the people all around me know who to call and what number to call. I have memorized the police, fire station, and the emergency hotline. Then I also have some of my IDs and also some of my husband’s business cards both in my car and in my wallet.
