My wife is really scaried of driving.Because of my change in schedule i feel very difficult to pick her from the office where she works. So i asked her to take driving licence.but she is not at all confient.But the truth is that she holds a driving licence in our country,but she is scaried here.She states that she doesnt know the roads and directions and confussion in signals,tracks.Help me friends..give some tips to boost her confidents.and to quit her fear of driving.
thanks buddy
thanks to sania..my wife feel better now by reading all comments.sania my wife will calling u soon.give her advice
she can start to drive weekends , and holidays day , theres not too much trafic , or late in the evening ..i satrted like that after she ll be fine , it s not difficult
Sit beside her and ask her to drive.she will feel confident when u will sit beside her.do in the weekend .if she was driving before than it shouldnt be a problem here too.when i moved here 5 months ago i was telling my hubby I CANNOT DRIVE HERE AT ALL...but next day he ask me to drive he was sitting beside me.i had to pick and drop to my kids from school so had no other option.the worst thing here is round about.but now i am fine with driving and now i can tell my hubby all the directions of Doha:)so incourage her ,tell her that she can do it.only u can boost her confidens no one else..tell her to call me i will explain her the advantages of driving:).u can go anywhere any time without anybody's help...Good luck!

NOT very sound advise AT ALL. She will have an accident and hurt either herself or someone else.
If she's not happy driving, consider hiring a driver for her. Don't put someone on the road who doesn't want to be there.
Can she practice the route she needs to travel on Friday mornings early for a while? It's difficult to concentrate on other drivers (especially the aggressive ones) and on where she needs to be at any given time in regular traffic.
Alternatively, can she car pool with someone who lives and works near to her workplace/home? Sharing a drive would be easier on her nerves (she could offer to pay some kind of fee - that might actually be cheaper than getting a car for her)
