I was 21 when I got my driver’s license. I was afraid to drive because even though I passed my road test, I still didn’t really know how to drive. The anxiety comes from not being confident in what you are doing. You’re constantly second guessing yourself. I drove in NYC which gives even more anxiety. I scraped a few cars. I felt so bad. So I didn’t drive for 4 years. One day, I just visualized me driving with ease and it was like I knew what I was doing in my dream. So I bought a car at 25 and I challenged myself to drive every single day. I would go to empty parking lots, and practice parking in a spot. I would get on the road early in the morning and practice switching lanes with other cars around me on highways. But the road wasn’t crowded in the morning so it wasn’t as stressful. I just drove every single day. Within 4-5 months, I felt like I’ve been driving for years. My confidence grew. I became a better driver. That was over 10 years ago. I drive any and everywhere now. It’s really about practicing. You will get it.

[@JasmineIneice]

Thank you so much! , That’s exactly what I need to do ; practice switching lanes and I need to drive every day I would get frustrated and not practice on the freeway for weeks at a time. Thank you for sharing this.

[@MelissaLona]

@@JasmineIneice No problem. Yes every day Drive. And if possible, drive around the time of day when there’s less cars on the road. It will help build your confidence. Anything you practice at daily, you have no choice but to get better at it. Good luck.👍

[@saka543]

I was thinking about driving daily but parking is hard to find my area and already got 2 tickets but I’ll just try to drive more often so I can do it when there are less cars on the road.

[@ro0121]

Thanks for sharing ur story! Gives me peace of mind. I can’t take my road test yet until dec. but when I tried moving forward in my moms car, I was stressseddddd. But it will go away w practice

[@breezymarie03]

omg learning how to drive in nyc sounds like HELL.. i was scared of my small town i cannot imagine how you felt💀

[@Ky-lj9vu]

It’s really comforting to know that I’m not the only that suffers from driving anxiety. Car accidents are my worst fear, especially being in that situation alone and having no one else there for support. I always feel like whenever I forget to do that one little thing then it means I shouldn’t even be on the road.

[@JasmineIneice]

I understand

[@iam_brayaa4839]

I suffer from sever driving anxiety and it’s definitely a process. I’m extremely proud of you this is courage

[@JasmineIneice]

Thank you so much ✨

[@millafargo]

as someone who has her learners permit and also has driving anxiety, it's comforting to know people who have their licences also experience anxiety on the road!!

And you driving in the rain? girl i could neverrrrr!! kudos to you! fellow driver with anxiety

[@justynawisniewska1213]

I'm 26 but I'll need to jump back behind the wheel soon after having a collision (no one was harmed but it was pretty scary), wish me luck, hope I won't be too nervous but I seriously don't know what to expect of myself. Fingers crossed for all of you guys!

[@candycane9264]

I’m 37 and had cars of my own but never drove them , my husband was my shoffer

[@aviasurielow5183]

“I should have stayed home” lmao

[@douglasvitrano]

I’m 28 years old and I’ve never driven on a highway by myself ever in my life. I start college classes in a few weeks and I need to learn to conquer this anxiety, constricting phobia once and for all.

[@dejawalker117]

girl its you driving in the rain for me lmao i would've had a panic attack then probably crash lol. I'm 20 and just got my permit, soon getting my license and i am such a nervous wreck about everything!

[@JasmineIneice]

It gets easier with practice, but I still get nervous.

[@ms.independent3994]

​​@@JasmineIneiceyes it does get easier with practice. I am currently trying to get over anxiety after 6 months of being scared to drive my car. I know I have to practice everyday until I feel more confident.

[@41yearoldnewdriver]

I think it's cool that you are driving. I am too! I am trying to get my license at the DMV in mid-late March. I am 41 years old. I got my examination permit at age 39. I am cool with driving at age 41. No big deal! I have driven my mom's Honda CR-V SUV a few times before. We'll see what happens after the pandemic is over. The probationary period is two years from permit to a basic NJ driver's license. This is a process that has different stages. I have to practice on my own for at least a year before I can upgrade to a four-year NJ driver's license.

[@BrookeBishop-px4ww]

I relate to you so much with the social anxiety and driving anxiety your really encouraging me to not give up and keep going thanks so much for the video

[@JasmineIneice]

Thank you!! I’m really happy this video is helpful.

[@BelkysMCabrera]

Hi queen!!! I also have drivers anxiety it’s taken me years to get behind the wheel, but now that I have found the courage it’s easier every day. I’m so proud of you for loving yourself enough to tackle your anxieties and live a full life!!! ♥️

[@arowyn.m]

Just got my license today and I don’t know why I unconsciously thought that the anxiety would disappear after I got it. Super nervous but willing to do it scared! Praying the Lord keeps me and others safe 🙏

[@annettesantiago6911]

Hello Queen I am a 62 year old female from NY, that moved to Florida AND NOWi taking driving lessons 😮 I’ve had 6-2 hour lessons and still have anxiety driving 😩 I can maneuver the streets, but have a “ death grip” on the steering wheel. I really want to say that I admire your courage and determination to drive. I now wish I had begun at an early age 😢. God bless you and keep you safe

[@JasmineIneice]

Thank you✨

[@keamijawilliams6775]

I'm 21 and I have my permit but I’ve been super anxious about taking the driving portion of the test and its honestly very comforting to know that I’m not the only person who is struggling with driving anxiety especially considering that everybody I know is driving and doesn’t understand my fear

[@joannaajoi8539]

Sisss thankss for sharing ! I'm a Young Mommy of soon to be 4 & I'm definitely ready to get up & out of my fear of driving!! This was so motivational ! Also youu did great Siss , the rain was your test that day ! It was to show youu , youu are capable!! & Youu did it girl !

[@theafromath]

This is so relatable 😭 I got my license in September and I’ve just been forcing myself out there. I just got over my fear of the highway. It is not easy, and sometimes I still get really nervous especially when parking in tight spaces. I’m the opposite when it comes to people though, I get more nervous when there are other people in the car, when I’m alone I’m fine. We just have to take it day by day🤍 Cheers to facing fears!

[@JasmineIneice]

I can’t wait to get over my fear of the highway I haven’t been on the highway yet. Cheers to facing fears!!

[@amiyam6338]

i got my license in july 2021 and i literally have not gone anywhere farther than 5 minutes from my house. in drivers ed i got the best scores in my class yet im the only one who doesn't drive... i think its because i tell myself idk what im doing even though i do. i got a 98 on the written test and 93 on the driving part

[@Shon9tilR]

My eyesight is bad. Whenever it rains heavy I have to pull over till it stops lol. I had to get me a car with back up cameras and lane change motion signals.

[@imanispence9795]

I got my liscence in hearly July, and outside of driving 30 min, to and from work I would be so scared to just get the house. So i just started forcing myself to go places I had very been before until I got more and more comfortable. I still get anxiety before i get in the car, but once I'm in I feel just fine :)

[@siirifani4ever]

The good thing about it though is that you’re alone in the car and you can give yourself pep talks without nobody hearing. Or scream while overtaking, it’s pretty hilarious but it works, calms the nerves

[@pa1ubo]

It kind of comforting to know other people have driving anxiety too. I've been learning how to drive and I always get anxiety when I come to a four way stop because I'm afraid of getting into a crash. It's gotten so bad that I've had a dream where I hit a car. I just hope it passes over with time =/

Not really just the freeway. If you drive every day the anxiety goes away

[@ElSings]

See, the thing is I have barely any anxiety when I’m with someone else but if I’m alone I freak out so bad and I can never go anywhere by myself

[@emzzz4683]

The thing is I like driving however I despise the dangers when it comes to it.

[@mykahidonthavealife6444]

So um as a black women my anxiety mainly is being pulled over by a racist cop and getting hurt I get behind the wheel and I can’t stop thinking of the victims and the families and I put myself in their shoes Ik you normally don’t get pulled over without doing anything illegal but for black people it seems that doesn’t always apply to us I just don’t really know how to get over it

[@JasmineIneice]

The thought of getting pulled over by a racist cop and pulled over in general has definitely crossed my mind since I’ve started driving , and I know as a black person I don’t have to do anything wrong for those things to happen but the thought has never hindered me from wanting to learn how to drive. But I feel like no matter how good I get at driving that will always be a concern of mines.

@@JasmineIneice Exactly. It's not the wild wild west out there. The likelihood of it happening is Definitely not on my mind. Just the possibility of hurting someone or myself..or damaging another vehicle
