Carol: that strikes a cord with me.
Although I was very enthusiasatic about learning to drive, I expereinced a sense of doubt about my ability to drive, too. After a while, it occurred to me where that douhbt came from: I'd been told all my life that this was not possible for me. It was hardly surprising, then that I had such doubts.

That was about 6 years ago. Nearly 200,000 kiloetres later, those doubts are behind me.

Not that I'm not cautious, mind you. Just not doubtful.
