Fear of driving

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello, 

I have a fear of driving, it's like I am not in control, that kind of a feeling.

And it's related to other problems, I think everybody can drive without fear, without any anxiety at all, the just pass the test and start driving.

For me it's just complicated like many other things.

Does anyone else feel this way?

    do you have anxiety in general? Many people who have anxiety don’t feel comfortable driving. I don’t feel comfortable driving mainly on the freeways because people these days will ride up behind you, cut you off, etc. even if I’m riding in the slower lane. It makes me very nervous. And that’s because of my generalized anxiety. Sometimes I will take. Different roads to get to my destination because I at least feel a little better about it. I think there’s a lot of people who are nervous driving

    Some of the younger people who first get their license, think that they own the roads and have no fear. I’ve been driving a long time and I’ve seen everything. So I’m just extra cautious and drive slower than most other people. have you been driving a long time?
