Learning to drive

Hi I'm learning to drive and my instructor keeps asking me if I'm allowed to drive. I've informed the dvla etc. I don't need adaptions but I keep taking too long to check my mirrors and I steer slightly off course . I'm not sure if this is normal nerves or ms related. I will be driving my kids around when I pass and I am soo scared of putting them in danger. Please can anyone help me?

@lafeeverte , you're getting too far ahead of yourself. When you get round to taking your practical test, you should be competent and confident. And, I am sure you wouldn't put your kids in danger if you felt anything less than 100% able. If you're concerned about the mirror problem and steering issue, you may want to go and have an eye test. Just to eliminate your eyesight as a cause for concern. You also need to feel at ease with your driving instructor. If not, find another one!

@stumbler thank you so much for your advice. I have booked an appointment with my optician and I am looking for a new instructor. Thank you. I did get too far ahead of myself. Bit of a meltdown really. The weather is not helping! Thanks again for your sound advice.
