Would it be inappropriate to mention to the person conducting my road test that I have been working through an extreme phobia of driving?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) July 19th, 2011

I’ve been a nervous driver ever since I started learning. I didn’t even try my road test to get my license until I was 18, and when I did I was so nervous that I drove very badly, and the women grading me did not help matters at all by screaming at me. I have thin enough skin that her doing so really upset me.

Almost a full year later I’m trying to get back on the horse; I’m beginning to practice driving again. I hope to be ready to take my road test again in the next few months, although I just know that I’m going to be 10x more nervous about this one after what happened last time. Would it be appropriate at all to say anything to my grader next time about what a struggle this has been for me? I just want to do what I can to protect myself from being treated so callously and having another bad experience.
