Just to give detail about the 2 fender benders One of them was at a stop light, I was in a new vehicle and I wasn't used to the brakes yet. I guess my foot wasn't on yhe brake hard enough and I bumped her slightly.
Second one was bumper to bumper traffic. It become steady pace and I thought it wasn't gonna stop again. I was wrong. Smacked into the bumper. No injuries at either BTW.

These are not that serious of situations btw. Can happen to anyone. Especially over a span of 2 years.

I take driving very seriously. It's difficult to convey how much thru a reddit reply

You're not the only person on the world big dawg. Get medicated.

I knew someone who got rear-ended. It killed her instantly, snapped her neck. It doesn’t seem like you’re taking this seriously, and you’re going to end up killing someone if you don’t.

Because I’ve been told by my parents and my teachers that I possibly have it. I’m not one of those ppl to just believe anything ofc so I’ve googled symptoms and it all just makes so much sense. My one sibling has it and I can see it in my dad. It’s really easy to hide in girls and women and an early diagnosis is early teens to late 20s vs being diagnosed as a child like a boy. I still have to go to the doctor to get it officially diagnosed and by this age I might not even have it anymore. But it’s something that you can just tell you have it. Like depression and anxiety, you can tell you have it.

How do people who have "undiagnosed" stuff know they have that? I couldn't imagine having the confidence to declare a mental illness I'm not sure I have

The driver's classes are not bad. Plus you can sometimes use the certificate to geta discount on your insurance.
But do be more careful and learn how to drive more defensively.

Driving is a serious & dangerous thing. If you can’t safely operate a vehicle you shouldn’t be driving, nothing to do about guilt. If you feel guilty enough about the potential to hurt someone, then do something to fix it before it’s too late. You’re an unsafe driver and shouldn’t be on the road.

It's too damn easy to get a driver's license in this country - far too many people don't understand how to drive properly. Take this as an opportunity to learn to drive well - it's a skill that will serve you for the rest of your life.

have you tried just walking, might be less dangerous.

OP, if possible, maybe purchase a vehicle with more modern safety features like frontal radar and pre-collision breaking/crash avoidance. Also, defensive driving course are good for ya and sometimes your insurance will reduce your premium if they hear that you have taken one of these courses.

Takes 5 tries to pass their driver's exam and then proceeds to amass a bad-enough driving record that that license is now at risk. Honestly, a driving course or two might not be a bad idea for you...

I read some of the comment and dude HAHAH your fucking stupid
Like how tf does your girlfriend go ask someone else to date her and then the mf she wants to protect her not know about you immidtely from the get go.
Your insecurities are valid but have some self respect she needs to put distance between her and the man that's very obviously flirting with her
Her reassure don't mean shit
Shouldn't be doing that shit in the first place and sure ASF shouldn't CONTUIE that close of a relationship with some other man when it's so clear he wants to fuck her
Plotonic friends don't joke about sleeping together being In a relationship or so on
You need therapy for your self esteem and you need to break up or set super Clear fucking boundaries beacuse WTF
Pls pls just for the love of gods ask anyone out there if what you said in the comments and in this post is NORMLA in a relationship
IM BEGGIN pls just do
It's not normal dude at all and it ain't normal the dude keeps saying she's his bitch not yours 💀

Here’s a fun thing I get distracted by on the road
- What’s every car doing around me
- What if that car in front of me just, stops?
- Repeat steps 1-3

OP, the solution to 99%+ of relationship problems is communication. Unless you can read minds, the only way to know what another person is thinking is to ask.
I’m glad you took the time to talk to your girlfriend and you are feeling better. Remember this lesson in the future.

It does really sound like you need help with your driving.

Everybody is bad at something before they are good at it. Please don't have any distractions in the car when you are driving. Even radio, eating, conversation, sight-seeing can take your attention away from driving. And don't speed. Also, in the USA nobody turning left has the right-of-way unless they have a green arrow.

Hi OP, I also have undiagnosed adhd and have trouble driving sometimes. What helps me stay focused is constantly checking my mirrors, it helps me be more aware of other cars and hazards on the road as well as keep an eye on my speed limit. I hope this helps, good luck in driving school :)

Five times and you're still a terrible driver. Don't take that personally - most people in the USA are. What we need in this country is licensing standards like Germany.
