    How do people deal with anxiety around driving? Had lessons booked but had to cancel them due to the sheer panic it brought on. I'm fine driving normally I just hate the fact that i'm in control of someone elses car

    We’re used to people driving our cars. That’s what we and the car is there for. It’s a tool to be used. Your instructor can and will take control of the car if he/she needs to.
    Have you considered Rescue Remedy to help you get started. Also, make sure you relate how you’re feeling to your ADI, it’s extremely important they understand how you feel and might even be able to help ease your anxiety.

    You’ll get over this feeling, it’s not uncommon.

    Defintely had anxious moments and flutters before my lessons. I just swallowed and drove. Nerves gone 5 minutes in the drive. Even after 4/5 lessons and I knew I'd be grand out on the road in the their car, I'd still feel anxiety.

    Just wondering does driving instructor give a certificate when finished the 12 lessons? I notice it’s one of the requirements when applying for test but all I have is the book which is filled up

    The instructor isn't required to give you a certificate upon completing your 12 EDT lessons. Instead they will record online via their EDT portal that you have completed which of the 12 lessons and when. Once they've confirmed that all 12 lessons have been completed, the RSA will then proceed further with your test application

    You can view your online EDT record here:

    Hope this helps
