New Driver Syndrome

New Driver Syndrome is a rush of anxiety and nausea lasting 2-5 days as a result of getting your drivers license and driving alone for the first time. New Driver Syndrome occurs especially if you also have a new car to drive by yourself. The only way to overcome this is to start driving your parents around in your new car, eventually driving without them.
