Matthew has been wanting to learn to drive for a long time and has finally made it happen by getting behind the wheel of car.
Kicking off his driving journey, Matthew went to a driving school in Edinburgh in February, where he drove for the first time and got tutored through his first driving lesson. Now, with that experience under his belt, he’s gearing up for some more lessons with the aim of soon hitting the roads in Dundee with a local instructor.
It’s not just the practical side that he’s working on either — Matthew is already getting stuck into his driving theory practice, making sure he’s ready for the test when the time comes.
With more lessons lined up, Matthew is well on his way to becoming a confident driver.
Matthew said: “I want to learn to drive so I can get my own car and have more independence. I was really nervous and excited to drive for the first time. I want to be independent, meet my own family and go to different places.
Once I learn to drive, I am going to try and buy a second hand car.”
