How do I get over failing a driving test?

I took my first driving test last week and failed it badly. I need to retake the test, but I’m kind of scared to embarrass myself again. How do I regain confidence after failing my driving test?

I’m sorry to hear your driving test didn’t go so well! While it may seem scary right now, the best thing you can do to get over failing a driving test is get back behind the wheel as soon as possible.
Try to think of the last exam as a practice test to prepare you for the next one! It’s hard to be good at something that you aren’t used to doing. But with practice, you’ll be able to pass the test with flying colors and ready to
get your license
.
Another thing that can help is to talk about the test with someone you love and trust. I was so nervous to take my driving test until I talked to my uncle about it. Even though he’s really smart and capable, he failed his driving test three times before he got his license! Learning that helped me to get over my pre-test jitters.
Driving can be tough at first, but finding the right insurance policy shouldn’t be.
