This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

My mum and brother have been convincing me to learn driving. My mum thinks that if I knew how to drive, we could live in the rural area. I don't want to because I'm worried that I would get hit by other cars. I don't think I have quick reactions to those kind of accidents. At first, I was strong-minded but, later, I've changed my mind. Even though I don't like to drive but if I were in a car and the car driver passed out, at least I would be able to drive the car to safety.

See above.

That's not well written. Reword it.
 
At first, I was strong-minded but, later, I've changed my mind because an advantage of knowing how to drive occurred to me. If I were in a car and the car driver passed out, at least I would be able to drive the car to safety.
