Anxiety From Driving
How to overcome Driving Anxiety?
How to overcome Driving Anxiety?
I’m 21 and i don’t have my drivers license, I have temps thats expire jan. 17th 08…
I don’t have much time left…. but I need to overcome my driving anxiety, which has been holding me back from getting my drivers license and has killed my social life.
my dad tries to teach me some tips and skill ..but he’s a real busy dude…
my sister seems to think i need some real professional driving coaches..so she wants me to go to this expensive driving school, where all the instructors are retired police and they go above and beyond to teach good driving skills…only problem is the school is way out there and i would have to catch the bus there..they won’t be able to pick me up from my house ..and its 500$ dollars..
I’m leaning toward cheaper schools…
I want to just go ahead and take the test, but i think i will catch a panic attack and fail the test for the 2nd time…
anyone have any advice for me?
1. Pinpoint what is causing your anxiety. Are you new to driving? Were you recently in a car accident? Do you simply not trust your driving skills? Once you have figured out the root of your worry, seek help that can help your way of thinking. If it’s emotional scars, consider getting help from a therapist.
2. Get in your car and get comfortable. Adjust the seat, mirrors and anything else that may make you uneasy. Being comfortable is very important in overcoming the fear of driving. Once you are relaxed behind the wheel, even if the car is off, that’s a step in the right direction.
3. Ask a friend to join you in your car. With a friend in the car, they can help you relax even further. Anything you can do to cut the tension is good when overcoming the fear of driving.
4. Turn down any music. Loud music can be a distraction when driving. Until you are comfortable behind the wheel again, keep the volume down. If you prefer listening to music, listen to music that makes you feel peaceful.
5. Take small steps. The first time you get in the car, just drive around the block. Next time, you can drive a few miles and then return. Build up your endurance as you feel more comfortable. Take your time and don’t force yourself to drive far until you are totally relaxed behind the wheel.
6. Get instruction from a professional driving school, if you can’t overcome your fears on your own. Many driving schools specialize in working with fearful drivers.
