Once you’ve torn up your L-plates, it’s assumed that, from that moment on, you’ll be equipped to drive anywhere at any time. But that isn’t always the case.

‘A car accident led to me avoiding driving for seven years, but now I can, and do, drive for pleasure. There are lots of ways to get your driving mojo back.’
