Does Anyone Else Love Driving But Get Anxious Around Other Drivers?

I honestly love the feeling of being behind the wheel—there’s something freeing about driving, especially when the roads are quiet. But as soon as traffic picks up, my anxiety spikes. It’s not the act of driving itself, but worrying about unpredictable drivers around me. Therapy and practice help, but it’s still tough. I’ve found that driving during off-peak hours and taking things slow really helps my confidence. I’m hoping a professional class will help me tune out the stress even more. Anyone else relate?

Facing My Biggest Fear at a Yellow Light 🚦

Today, I faced one of my worst driving fears: approaching a green light that suddenly turned yellow. After not driving for over three years, I was already nervous, but my instructor reassured me I had good control. As I sped up to match the speed limit, the light changed and I panicked, wanting to brake. My instructor calmly told me to keep going, and it turned out fine, but my heart was racing. If you ever feel unsure at a yellow light, remember to stay calm, follow the speed limit, and trust your instincts. You’re not alone in feeling anxious—practice really does help.

Getting my license was supposed to be a ticket to freedom, but honestly, driving still scares me.

How I Overcame My Driving Anxiety—And How You Can Too

When I first started learning to drive, I was overwhelmed by anxiety. The thought of being in control of a car made my heart race, and I’d sometimes zone out from the stress. I was terrified of city streets, highways, and the idea of growing up. But with time and practice, things changed. I realized most drivers are just as cautious as I am, and it’s okay to take things slow. Now, driving feels natural—like second nature. If you’re struggling, remember: it gets easier, and you’re not alone. What helped you feel more confident behind the wheel?

First Time Getting Flipped Off as a New Driver—How I Handled It

Hey, so I’m a new driver and today was rough. I was practicing my work route with my mom, trying to learn the ropes. At a green light, I slowed down before turning right—just wanted to be sure it was safe, especially with people around and two cars ahead. My mom’s anxious advice didn’t help my nerves. Suddenly, the guy behind me honked like crazy, sped past, and flipped me off. I felt awful, but I reminded myself everyone starts somewhere.
