Well that is certainly great to hear that you don't have doubts anymore. I think that for the most part my doubts are a thing of the past for me as well. But, I am still uncomfortable with some driving situations. And maybe when I'm driving for 6 years.. than I will be completely free of doubt. But, like you say, I will remain cautious. If you allow yourself to become too sure of things.. You can become sloppy, or dangerous to others. Anyway, thank you for the imput. I certainly appreciate perspective.

: 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.
