3rd driving lesson this week, and my shoulders tighten up every time we get to merging. Instructor keeps telling me to loosen my grip. I know she’s right, but a car gets close on the right and my hands just lock.
Parking went better today — 5 attempts at parallel parking in about 40 minutes, only reset twice (small win, I’ll take it). Still ended with that same tight spot creeping up my neck… right side, every time.
Been icing it after these sessions. Not sure if it’s the driving itself or just sitting tense for an hour straight, but the insurance paperwork this week did the same thing to my shoulders too.
Going to try stretching before the lesson next time instead of after.
