[@rockys2497]

To everyone who is here & have road anxiety, you got this! everyone has experienced road anxiety at some point, & honestly seeing other people tell their stories about it makes me feel so much better, cuz I’m not alone & it’s a common thing you just have to practice & as cliche as this line is, believe in yourself!

Terrified of driving with others. Seeing someone in in my rear view mirrors scares the shit outta me. I feel like I’m a burden.

[@volttys1823]

Shymir Plummer yeah I feel rushed and it give me anxiety when I see other cars coming towards me

[@0_o475]

Volttys a tip is to ignore them, if you’re going the speed limit don’t worry about other drivers let them go around and if they can’t they can wait. Don’t feel rushed.

[@volttys1823]

xs screams sometimes I get shaky and feel like I’m gonna steer wrong and hit them or go off the street and sometimes I feel like a noodle and if I hit a bumb or a rough road again I feel like if going to steer and hit something

[@0_o475]

Volttys driving can be quite stressful especially on the freeway. There’s many things you have to remember and pay attention to. It’s pretty annoying and can make you anxious. Like he said just start off slow...just drive to your local store or areas that are close then drive further away.

I'm 29 & just purchased my car to learn and practice how to drive. I've had my permit for 11 yrs, but never had anyone to actually help me long enough to get better at it. I don't have a fear of necessarily driving, but more so just driving in (heavy) traffic. I used to be embarrassed by being as old as I am, but I'm learning and that's all that matters. I'll get better over time, I know it. It doesn't matter how old you are, don't give up, keep trying. I'm doing this for me and I will get better!!

I used to be embarrass because of my age 38 and I have been taking lessons on and off which are expensive. I could not even put the key in the ignition. Fear is a horrible mental sickness. Now I drive but need to take control of the anxiety when people tailgate. I had a garbage truck driver constantly yell at me you failed you failed. Out loud while I was driving I became nervous but said outloud I am bless. We live in a world where people will discourage you instead of encouraging you. The moral to my story is continue to press forward. Encourage yourself! I believe one day I will have my license!

I have a huge fear of driving! It’s been 4 years since I got my license and have only drove a few times. I live on a busy road it makes it so hard to get out of my drive way without being so scared. What makes it hard for me is I always think about what people think when I’m driving like if I take to long to turn people will beep and it makes me more nervous. I watch all these videos to end my fear I feel good but once I get in the car it all comes back. I really want to drive but I just get to scared sometimes I feel my legs shaking I have these thoughts of just wanting to give up. I just want to have no fear and be happy when I’m driving.

You need to have a buddy inside your car for a while, until you get accostumed. Get a good boyfriend, a husband, a friend, a roommate, co-worker. In my case when I learned, and then started driving, my ex husband was excellent was always with me and taught me very well, then one day he said, "it's time you go alone from now on". I had problem with directions, like how to get to specific places. I know one case where the whole family took turns to go with the learner everywhere, and 2 years past, the father said: "you go alone from now on, and this day was raining pouring. Anyway all this insecurity drama past, and now the daughter drives even to the moon. Everybody has it's pace. But don't give up, do slowly but consistently, and seek results.

Hello, my name is Daniel(32) and almost two years ago I bought my first car.I had the driver license six years before but I almost did nor drive at all until I had my first car.I had such a hard time to understand how the car works, how to change gears and first of all how not to stop the motor by not knowing how the clutch works. I had a hard time keeping myself motivated to continue driving having this kind of problems and one day I searched on youtube a video that eventualy will help me with my fear of driving that I developed. I found your video. So I did what you said and it helped me a lot. I wanted to say thank you.Now I know my car 100% and I don't have any fear of driving.But I had and your video helped me. Thank you!

[@laingmaryann]

Thanks for the tips. I have had my license for over 20 years. I have driven a total of 10 times including driving lessons. I just get too freaked out. I am thinking about trying to drive again. It would be nice to finally be able to drive a car.

[@cj8803]

I needed this video. I'm JUST learning how to drive and taking lessons. It's getting better day by day, but my anxiety gets me worked up and I don't want that. I want to feel CONFIDENT that I know what the hell I'm doing lol.

[@lotuskoko]

I would say in general, but especially in this time where people tend to be preoccupied (especially with their phones) and not aware, teach the new driver to develop their situational awareness. This is probably one of the most important aspects of driving. Once you are comfortable with what is going on around you you will gain more confidence because you can more easily manage the situation. This will result in learning the basic techniques much easier. You're mind won't be stuck on fear of (fill in the blank).

[@hienienguyen6766]

wow you got me thinking of better ways of thinking about driving. i am already passed by driving in a parking lot. now is getting over the fear of being around people

[@kefkapalazzo1]

I’m 28 in nyc and I tried to learn last year. No one was patient with me, and until I started taking Ubers often I’d be in a car less than 10 times a year on average

[@gildarose2173]

Thank you sir so much for your videos, they are so helpful. I got my licence when I was 18years old.. and never needed a car until right now. I’m from Australia Sydney. Now living in the country so I really needed a car.. I drove years on and off but never to bothered with it, but now need a car. I took some refresh driving test for 5weeks.. 2mths later my dad bought ne a car my first car ever... I’m so happy but sometimes a little nervous thank you for your videos..

[@OdaAlexx]

I have my first driving test next week, so scared of driving!! I think it’s worse now that I’m 27, I’ve built it up in my head as this thing I could never do. Now I have a child and realize I NEED a car, but still so scared of messing up😶 I’ll remember the ladder thing when I start 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Mr.Sh1nyHunter]

I'm 18 and I feel awful not being able to drive, especially since most of my friends can drive amazing

[@jelanimckenzie49]

I like this a lot. The more I watch your videos the more better of a driver I can successfully be.

[@maggymaina3416]

This guyis just amazing, makes everything seem clear. I amscared of driving with pedestrians all-over. I hope i can gt over the fear

[@nickandchrismom]

This was very helpful! I will be 35 on the 3rd of next month, I have a licence and my nearly 17 yr old son just got his license and I have a fear of driving I am overcoming in Jesus name. Thanks!!

[@winniecantonese]

I started watching your videos today!!! Thank you for all your awesome driving videos!!!

[@jazmin9196]

My problem is at highway. Oh boy I got so anxious. I don’t have not problems driving local but when it comes to drive on highways it’s the worst to me! 🙄

[@Douglas-1994]

me too

[@joykeith6025]

thank god am not a lone

[@tikatinika1367]

OMG just like me. I can drive in town, but when it comes to highways , I get crazy. If there is someone with me, that's ok, but if I am alone, I get so anxious that I end up having a panick attack

[@hienienguyen6766]

yeah i think that would be anyone

[@jacquelinebennett]

I know I am trying to get over my fears/anxiety to get onto major highways. I am fine driving to and from work (which is 15 mins from home) but beyond that I get so anxious. My reason for wanting to get over it is myself and my friend of ten years who I met online want to meet and we wanna go out and have fun and do a trip and I wanna be able to be independent so we can do it without anyone else (i’m 27 and I rely on my mom heavily for getting me around because of my fear and I am tired of feeling like a burden)

[@ewoyenrurhemebradu5388]

Thanks, I'm just learning how to drive and this is just what I need.

[@Ari44402]

A semi passed by me(traveling in the opposite direction) and blew a gust of wind up and made my hood pop open a little and I literally screamed😂

[@kiario-sv9sr]

Sunflower oof my car is a basemodel Kia Rio 2011......

[@colleenjeffries3334]

I would have too.

[@mvddiekay]

I got my license at 17 and I was okay with it even though I kind of drove crazy when I drove my mum places. Then one time we were crossing the freeway and I didn’t look close enough to see there was a car driving past that was *close* and I went ahead and tried to cross then as soon as I realized I would’ve almost hit them I pressed the break and avoided hitting them. But that was the moment that made me super scared to drive, my mom got onto me about it and I realized how dangerous it is and the possibility of dying if I don’t pay attention 🙁 ever since that incident I am scared. And it sucks because I live right next to a freeway, I have to cross it or take the other road which is longer way but at-least I’m safe. I’ve barely drove since then. And it sucks because I’m 18 now and my parents are pressuring me to start driving because I will need to drive myself to college and work because they will be busy 😕 wish I lived in a state that had train stations. ugh. I hope I get better 🙏🏻

[@davinaedwards7936]

God bless you my brother, youve been a big help to me

[@laurawilliams2160]

Find your Driving videos VERY helpful...wish I had find these sooner!! Thank you...

[@missmarwa150]

I live in an overpapulated city, the streets are very narrow and It's crowded all the time. I didn't have any fear of driving. Until my dad was driving one day and a small bus hit us, it was very bad accident. The man hit the passenger seat where I was sitting. The ambulance came and took me to the hospital. Thank God, I stayed sound and safe, but since then I am terrifed of driving.

[@CinnamonWillis]

I always come back to watch your videos when I get nerve enough to get in a car again! I live in NY so it's not often that I'm behind the wheel. Thank you for all of these videos over the years :D

[@nightwalker9828]

Can't do it because my driving instructor keep yelling and tapping my shoulder and he screamed : speed up SPEEEEEDDDD UPPP!!!!

[@PerusingPig]

I kinda feel like a bad instructor when I was 16 is what caused my driving phobia. Can you request a different one?

[@5secondsofpaige]

my instructor is the same way it makes me not want to go out and practice with him

[@blaineyeamlak]

Im bouta fail.... Again cause the same thing

[@alexgarza4944]

Thank you so much for making this video! This video gave me the confidence to drive on my own to without feeling any anxiety and I'm getting my car very soon 😌💯

[@imjustsomeguy]

I'm in my early 20s, already have a driver's license, and I still get anxiety when driving. My brother got his license at age 16 and by age 17, he drives on freeways like it's nothing.

[@nancyvillagonzalo5301]

I'll have somebody beside me. The one who's relax in carrying instructions, it helps a lot :)

[@janoygrant5144]

I like the idea of overcoming fear by listening music or having persons in the car with you

[@David.jaemin]

Really enjoy your videos.. I just registered for driving school.. watching the way you explain about all this things makes me feel more comfortable

[@56dimples]

I can actually say, Your tips have helped me out a great deal.. Thank You!

[@gabrielboateng1292]

Fourth Tip is really so true. Thanks.

[@animeloverforeverfan3701]

People around me make me feel more anxious because I think I'm doing something wrong all the time. And I'm scared especially in neighborhood areas where there are cars parked slightly on the road or an obstacle (including pedestrians) that I don't want to hit OBVIOUSLY but I just get stressed. Also people really should start abiding by the speed limit and not put pressure on you when you're driving the exact speed limit.

[@Mat15115]

It's 24 years since I last got behind the wheel. I was in a hit and run, but aside from the accident I always had issues with maintaining my speed

[@bernsbuenaobra473]

How about considering a "defensive driving" strategy. In many countries the problem are not the rules but really bad attitude drivers, poor ethics in the road, road rage etc. not really technical. But I really commend your efforts on all of these I watched.

[@jeffma7507]

I think it’s starts off as precognition to be wary of the road and surroundings, then it starts to to turn into anxiety. So having an active and cautious mind while driving is a good thing, but once you let that be the source of your fear, it’s become unhealthy.

[@Hudon-qi8br]

When he said said driving is actually very safe my fear vanished also I just drove for the first time in a parking lot its not as bad as I thought as long as you pay super close attention

[@julienkhachas4042]

hey everybodyyyyy

[@duyonwalton6195]

Julien Khachas 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Saalihna]

Lol

[@muzeebsayyed]

I can literally hear this

[@theodysseynews5914]

Being confident beforehand is a big bonus.

[@randomname3709]

I keep trying my best not to be stressed but god knows I feel like I have a ball in my stomach from stress. I even keep getting nightmares of crashing the car and when my dad or siblings teach me they dont understand this irrational fear that I have.

[@mlo9797]

Thanks for sharing with us I am so scared of driving very good advice cause when I ask driving with other people I am doing good when I am with my husband it’s a nightmare for me

[@jenicena1490]

Hi same here. How's your driving now?

[@giftya3115]

Thanks for sharing it helps alot as beginer learning to drive.

[@wolfrayne8355]

Thank you so much for normalizing being afraid of driving. it's hard to even talk to people about, because people just want to judge and talk shit.

[@benkoru3776]

Exactly

[@juliayanez755]

I feel like all my friends drove on the road for the first time, they just got there permit and drove but I went out like 3 times and still haven’t left the parking lot

[@toast4975]

Something that helped me a ton was driving on back roads in the country where the chances of seeing other vehicles was pretty slim. Once i got comfortable with that I started progressing to driving in smaller towns and so forth. It takes time, stay safe and just relax you can do it l.

[@NessaVMT]

Can you please make a video about how to safely drive by semi trucks ? I need information about sharing the road with semis as they give me anxiety. I love your videos ❤️ thank you for making these.

[@MarinaMoldovan]

I'm so thankful for your videos . You make the best video ever!!!

[@Angel-gt5iv]

Your channel is really amazing and helpful to everyone, hope you keep making videos and stay safe and healthy!!!

[@090435438]

The crazy part for me is I’m a great driver. I trust myself...i just don’t trust other drivers. My fear of getting rear ended is real

[@RealAntek]

Put very long metal spikes on the rear of your car

[@shadaehaniff9952]

Turn your fear into motivation... get to the root of your fear and then ask yourself what is my fear trying to tell me? So if you are afraid of hitting a pedestrian or another car then practice mindfulness while driving. This way you will be more aware and start to drive defensively

[@ginov9798]

I don't know how to drive but planning to learn how and I'm scared I might run out of control and run over people and things...

[@vasevatogamalo804]

Driving scares me to death😪But I'm slowly overcoming this...practicing daily...Thank you for this video

[@jimenaares9021]

I am loving your tutorials for new drivers thanksss
