I wanted to make a post here as a way to keep tabs on myself and my driving. I am 21 and I have always had an extreme fear of driving. When ever I drive it feels like the first time. However I graduate in three months and I want to have my license by that time. I start practicing today and will use all the tips I have read in the comments and this video to help. I will let you know how I do in a few days. Wish me luck!
Aw i was watching the video i kept seeing the back ground and wondering why it looked so familiar, then i read the description, and you were literally driving past my house haha
Omg, every time I drive I always try to be confident but once I feel my cheeks turn red I feel afraid. I can drive but that feeling scared tends to take control. I was wondering how does one know how to control the steering wheel?!
I'm 25 and I just started driving. I used to be terrified, but the more I drove the less it scared me. It helps if you have a calm and relaxing person with you.
i had like a quick 15 minute drive around town... and then went to like 45 mph down a highway, it was scary and nervewrecking to transition so quickly for a first EVER time driving.
That so stupid who the fuck is scared of driving, what kind of faggot is scared of something MILLIONS do. I've been driving since I was 12, I'm now 19 and I didn't even need to be taught how to drive. I've never had an accident (thank God) and drive responsibly, I fucking hate retards who get overwhelmed and endanger people in the process. If you're to pussy to drive stay at home. If you think driving at the speed limit is scary, try getting on a litre bike and do 120+ between traffic. PATHETIC!
@princepersia1 listen dipshit, some people like me, have severe anxiety problems and we have a hard time to try not to be scared of driving. your ass shouldn't start driving that young. what retard lets your drive that yuong anyways?? gee, we're so fuckin sorry we're not perfect like you are!
@AmericanGirl8807 First of all fuckface I started when I was, I'm not 12 retard learn to read. Second of all why shouldn't I have started to drive young? That's just your stupid opinion and the earlier the better because you learn faster. Now I don't give 2 shits about having a license, I have one now but I really don't even consider it when driving, it's just there. I wasn't when I was young and I did just fine. Driving is not a skill, it's nothing, a monkey can do it. WTF is wrong with you?
@princepersia1 first of all, i didn't misread any of your info. i fuckin know that you're 19. you have such a bitter heart and don't have the knowledge that some people do have a hard time with certain things in life, and driving is one of them. driving IS a skill, AND a privilege...wtf is wrong with YOU???
@AmericanGirl8807 How the fuck is driving a skill, it's like saying walking is a skill, sure it is but EVERYONE knows how. Driving is done by MILLIONS, so not being able to drive means you're retarded. The point is try street racing and driving hot laps on a circuit and then talk about skill. Have you ever been to India, Iran, Thailand etc that is driving that is quite challenging and yet kids drive there let alone here in the US where driving is nothing. You should be able to with eyes closed.
@princepersia1 whatever dude, it's fuckin POINTLESS discussing shit with you. In one ear, out the other. I'm so done with you. And no, I didn't fuckin quit talking to you because "your answers are correct and know that you're right." You're wrong. It's pointless. Have a nice life :)
@AmericanGirl8807 I really wanna see you in the military, you think driving is stressful all I have to say is LOL x1000. You would die just from the anxiety in the foreign conflicts. What pisses me off is pussy whiners like you whining on how it's hard to drive when there are bigger things in the world. People like you are the retards who crash into people like me and damage expensive cars and endanger lives. Then you get out and apologize like degenerates and pretend it's not your fault. BITCH!
@princepersia1 this video is for teens beginning to drive. why would you watch this video anyway if your so good at driving..your probably not in the military.. i can only imagine you when you first started driving. you probably crapped your pants Mr.princepersia..... and us beginners wouldn't be hitting people like you if you weren't in the way of us! :p
@saritajakhere I am 26 and I really want to know how cause taking a bus sucks if you want to expand your reach in the world. Also, I need to do this to open myself up to greater opportunities(cause I just graduated from college.)
@BladeGT I know what you mean. Driving to me means independence. I don't have to wait for others to take me around anymore. I guess the only way to overcome the fear of driving is to drive more and more. I have started driving alone recently and I am doing just fine. The key is to be aware of what is happening around you ALL the time. Watching for other cars' turn signals... judging the distance between your car and the one behind you.. I am getting better with practice. :)
It also helps to glance at the rear view mirror and the side view mirrors every once in a while even when you are driving on a straight road. I learned to drive with my mother-in-law who is neurotic and impatient. I think that caused me to become a nervous driver in the first place. You really do need someone patient and easygoing to teach you to drive.
The three lane roads are best for beginners. You don't have to worry about cars getting too close to you and try to make right turns more than left. At least for myself that helped get me over that first nervous hump.
dont understand how people are afraid of driving. im 16 dads like take the car home now i was like (YAY) drove on the highway in dallas very populated, didn't crash or get crazy nervous.
MrTheGrabber - I just started driving today too and I forgot a couple of things! You'll get better with practice and so will I! Love the parking lot - ton's of fun! Happy and Safe driving!
I had a driving lesson yesterday, my heart was beating so fast when i set off and a car came round the corner i wsa thinking AHH but i was brave like Chuck Norris and continued driving then i made a controlled stop near the kerb like a BOSS.
Oh fun, I got my license on July 7 at 8:37 am with a 92. I'm still inexperienced as fuck and I'm surprised I passed so well...>___> Look out driving world, here comes the noob!!!! :3
I always white knucle while I drive and I'm 18. August 11th is my driving test and I hate it. I don't think I'll pass even though I'm a good driver as many people have said to me.
I took driving lessons and that taught me the basics, but I didn't become comfortable behind the wheel until I got my own car and started to drive around on my own and go onto highways late at night to practice.
After about a month I was fairly comfortable driving, but it took me several more months to learn to be a less timid driver and now when I see an opening for a lane change etc, I make sure the coast is clear and go without hesitation.
OK, so, I'm almost 21, and I still don't drive. But, my friend is going to teach me how, starting tomorrow, hopefully. I need to know how to drive. I can't rely on people to take me everywhere I need/want to go.
@travis7310 same here! I'll be 20 soon and it's kinda hard to be completely independent when I have to rely on others to take me places. >___< I wish you luck in your learning!
@voragoanimus Thank you. Well, I did some driving around my neighborhood today, and I did pretty good. My best friend (whom I was driving with), gave me a 6, on a 1-10 scale. It's really easy, once you get the hang of it. I'll be doing some more driving on Sunday. :D
@travis7310 Howd did it go bro? I just had my first lesson with my dad today. Hes litterally drove milage more than it would take to drive around the world. He gets angry real quick
@Werdxp Well, she gave a 6 out of 10, which I have to say is pretty good for someone who's never driven before. I did make some sharp turns, though, but, after I made more, I got better. Plus, her car is an automatic, so, it's a lot easier. I tried to drive my mom's car, which is manual, and that was scary. Def. learn on an automatic!
@xoxomystyle I'm doing quite well. I'm finally driving down double laned roads. But, I'm not quite ready to go into traffic yet. I mean, I'm sure I could, but, it's kinda intimidating. But, for someone who's never driven before, I'm learning quite fast. I do tend to have a lead foot, though. I don't realize I'm going too fast 'til the person I'm with tells me to slow down. Not safe to do when you don't have a license. Luckily, no police have been around when I'm out driving.
Only people that are scared to drive are those who can afford to be scared. If you are forced to drive being scared will not stop you. (whatever the reason is for you to drive. School, work, etc)
@bigz547899223 drive 3 times a week, in heavy traffic, alone. Pu your fav music on :) It'll be second nature before you know it, I used to be just as scared.
I drove for the first time today. You need someone tolerant, easygoing and very understanding to teach you for the first few times atleast. Preferably, someone who was in your shoes as well when they learnt to drive. The key points are:
1) Steering control (Practice in empty parking lot)
2) Remember to give turn signals.
3) Speed gently and brake gently too
4) Parking and reversing will take a bit longer to understand because I just found out first hand like an hour ago.
Wow, he's totally helpful. If "you're really nervous, try to relax"! If it was that easy I would not have a problem with cars. That's the thing, I don't know how to relax.
"...because if you get nervous your going make a mistake and damage your car or yourself." Well you just stated why people are after of driving. If you crash, that's your ass!!!"
I understand why people get nervous, im 17 and i still get nervous once in awhile. But when i first started driving i was pressured by people behind me. Now it's like "whatever, i'm still learning don't get mad at me." There are still things i have trouble with and that all natural of course. But i think the real thing here is the more you drive the easier it becomes. That's all it takes.
The first time i drove was when i was 13 and my mom forced me to drive i knew because of my dad he taught me but driving is so fun and im still 14!!!!!
Good video I was nervous for about a week a but after 3 weeks I was going forty plus. And going 60+ after 3 months so there is nothing to get nervous about and I love driving and rarely get nervous, except when parallel parking for I can't
with auto transmission there is no need to use both hands on the wheel at all times. having both hands on the wheel at all times is very unrelaxing. the most important thign is to believe in you're own safety methods nto what somebody else tells you. if you only go by what soembody else tells you then you will not be relaxed as you will be thinking what soembody else has told you. there is not precise exact way to drive as it isn't rocket science. you gotta have ur own style
im nervous, i want to drive but i have a feeling that i will get into an accident 1 day. but im hoping the go kart will give me a chance to get a good start :)
be calm, ok easy to say hard to do. I'm driving instructor for 10 years, the only way you will relax is if you look fare away when driving. Remember car will go where you look. Looking fare you have time to react in case something happen. If someone is tale gating you and you the best ting is to increase the distance in front of your car this way you don't have to stop suddenly so plenty of time to prevent the driver behind.
If someone is tailgating me, All I do is (if i am going over the limit) I slow down to exactly what the speed limit is and just go at that. It all depends if they can stand it or if they're impatient bastards and decide to pass
Whats the difference between freeways, highways, interstates? I dont get it, I have like 20 minutes of expereience, and driving for the first time in Drivers ed tommorow, Im so nervous, I never know what to do when im on the road, i always ask what the speed limit it, and stuff
I'm 17 and I'm learning how to drive, I mean I know how I just needa be better at driving so I've been practicing but I live in a neighborhood that has security driving around so yesterday I practiced and practiced and I was been cautious with the light signals n stopping, wearing my seat belt. But I was told I CANNOT practice cause one of the neighbors were complaining. Like yeah, I was going 100 mph in a family-living area, plus I wouldn't if there kids in the street or animals.
I like to mention, some people don't need to rush out and get a car, I know there are lots of pressure, (Especially for teens) But I also find, wait till your a little mature, so your not so afraid, when i was 16-20, I was so scared to drive, but now that I am 22 (23 in November) I am a little more mature, and not so afraid, and can't wait to go to my driving school soon, I am filled with anticipation, then fear now, I wanna get it, makes life easier, and no longer to rely on people!.
i'm worried about driving and im only getting my permit and im not even getting that until september and i'm teaching myself to drive i only get to drive an automatic and its only from the beginning of my street to my driveway and park it at the end of the driveway not very far
I'm so embarrassed about not being able to drive. I mean I can drive, it is just the possibilities and the rules that freak me out and make me nervous.
@zakiemon i know how yu feel when i was first learnin how to drive. my mom would yell at me. but every time i would make a mistake i would just think of a little sayin that we russians have come up with . why do russians fall?. so they can get back on the horse.
@Don786k i'm was so excited to drive back then. i broke the rule of an instructor and just drove all the way to the free way at 80 mph cross over cars
I am pretty confident these days in the day time but night time driving still makes me nervous as hell. My last session was on a country road in the wet. Half the time it was a struggle to see the white line or impossible with idiots who do not turn off their high beams. I am so frighten I'm going to cross the white line and have a high speed head on. My instructor say's I am doing fine but I am still so nervous when doing night driving.
I am kinda nervous myself...I remember thinking it was not a big deal when my uncle let me drive his car...BIG MISTAKE...i got in a car accident that day...since then i been extra careful! its not a joke!
You know what my instructor told me does when his students get honked at and is making a traffic scene?
Turn on the hazard lights and open the hood. Once the bastard realizes he has to make do with the limited space and passes, he returns back to the car where his student is calm once again not being hounded by impatient drivers. You do have to act good so that you're not called up on your bluff, or so he says.
i dont think i will ever drive, im a very nervous person and anxious a lot. it really sucks because im 23 and i want to do so much and i cant because i dont drive.
@kristastjames thank you! i know i just think negative all the time. when i practice driving around my neighborhood im fine because theirs no one around. its the though of driving in actual streets and around many cars that really frightens me. i just think about hitting another car or not being able to drive right. im very glad to hear that you were able to get over it, hopefully someday i will be able to.
Another thing u can do if somes tailgating u is pub hard pressure onto your brakes. Bu keeping the car rolling DO NOT STOP. This then puts the shits up them and they sure as hell will keep there distance.
!!!DONT TRY THIS WHEN YOUR ON YOUR DRIVING TEST OR ON YOUR LESSONS. THIS IS NOT PART OF THE HIGHWAY CODE!!
A little bit of fear goes a very long way though to prove your point.
The first time i drove in traffic some soccer mom was tailgating me. and as i soon as i turned she sped by me for no reason. I was even going a little faster than the speed limit and the old hag was tearin shit up.
i'm 19 yrs old and a mother.. my husband works and supports our family and we have enough to make it.. but it would be nice to have more money ya know? I would also like to stop relying on him to pay all the bills and take me shopping all the time.. the thought of driving turns my stomach I need help.. I can't get a job if I cant drive to work..I have never had any desire to drive not even at 16 im so scared.. the roads where I live are really twisty and small on top of it all
I got my permit on jan 7th my 15 bday and i have driven on a road since then but today was my first time driving oon the interstate and about 30 min into the drive it turned into a 4 lane highway i was alittl enervous but it kept me cautious and we didnt wreck or get any nasty looks from ppl lol
That really doesn't help. If someone else is making you nervous pull over so they don't cause you or the car severe damage? Right.. this definitely does not help ppl with real fear of driving. The reason why I fear driving is the because of the lunatics that already have a driving license.
@Cable3999 I wrote that the day before my first lesson so I was really edgy. I've since had 6 lessons & I agree pulling over to calm down if you get nervous is the best way. Someone beeped me because they were tailgating me & I was too slow & it did affect me. Feeling nervous really affects ppl's ability to drive. The key is to have a gd, fun instructor who you trust completely.
I got my license about a year after I joined the Army. I learned to drive manual in a 5 ton truck starting on a hill. You had to keep the truck in one spot by using the gas and clutch. :)
The most important thing about driving is getting into the habit of doing it right and legal. Even if nobody is around. Because then when you actually need to do it right, it will just happen naturally. So signal for your lane changes and turns, look before you change lanes and don't just signal 1 second before you change lanes.
I HATE it when morons signal AS they are turning or changing lanes. What is the point in that? Might as well not signal.
@HunterXray Going to be fully honest. I do that. I really try not to. But both of my parents do it and I have rode in vehicles with them since I was a baby. Watching them do it for that long and then me driving, it's hard not to.
I wanted to make a post here as a way to keep tabs on myself and my driving. I am 21 and I have always had an extreme fear of driving. When ever I drive it feels like the first time. However I graduate in three months and I want to have my license by that time. I start practicing today and will use all the tips I have read in the comments and this video to help. I will let you know how I do in a few days. Wish me luck!

Plus, her car is an automatic, so, it's a lot easier. I tried to drive my mom's car, which is manual, and that was scary. Def. learn on an automatic!

@xoxomystyle I'm doing quite well. I'm finally driving down double laned roads. But, I'm not quite ready to go into traffic yet. I mean, I'm sure I could, but, it's kinda intimidating. But, for someone who's never driven before, I'm learning quite fast. I do tend to have a lead foot, though. I don't realize I'm going too fast 'til the person I'm with tells me to slow down. Not safe to do when you don't have a license. Luckily, no police have been around when I'm out driving.

I drove for the first time today. You need someone tolerant, easygoing and very understanding to teach you for the first few times atleast. Preferably, someone who was in your shoes as well when they learnt to drive. The key points are:
1) Steering control (Practice in empty parking lot)
2) Remember to give turn signals.
3) Speed gently and brake gently too
4) Parking and reversing will take a bit longer to understand because I just found out first hand like an hour ago.
Thanks..........!!

I understand why people get nervous, im 17 and i still get nervous once in awhile. But when i first started driving i was pressured by people behind me. Now it's like "whatever, i'm still learning don't get mad at me." There are still things i have trouble with and that all natural of course. But i think the real thing here is the more you drive the easier it becomes. That's all it takes.

with auto transmission there is no need to use both hands on the wheel at all times. having both hands on the wheel at all times is very unrelaxing. the most important thign is to believe in you're own safety methods nto what somebody else tells you. if you only go by what soembody else tells you then you will not be relaxed as you will be thinking what soembody else has told you. there is not precise exact way to drive as it isn't rocket science. you gotta have ur own style

be calm, ok easy to say hard to do. I'm driving instructor for 10 years, the only way you will relax is if you look fare away when driving. Remember car will go where you look. Looking fare you have time to react in case something happen. If someone is tale gating you and you the best ting is to increase the distance in front of your car this way you don't have to stop suddenly so plenty of time to prevent the driver behind.

But I was told I CANNOT practice cause one of the neighbors were complaining. Like yeah, I was going 100 mph in a family-living area, plus I wouldn't if there kids in the street or animals.

I like to mention, some people don't need to rush out and get a car, I know there are lots of pressure, (Especially for teens) But I also find, wait till your a little mature, so your not so afraid, when i was 16-20, I was so scared to drive, but now that I am 22 (23 in November) I am a little more mature, and not so afraid, and can't wait to go to my driving school soon, I am filled with anticipation, then fear now, I wanna get it, makes life easier, and no longer to rely on people!.

My instructor say's I am doing fine but I am still so nervous when doing night driving.

You know what my instructor told me does when his students get honked at and is making a traffic scene?
Turn on the hazard lights and open the hood. Once the bastard realizes he has to make do with the limited space and passes, he returns back to the car where his student is calm once again not being hounded by impatient drivers. You do have to act good so that you're not called up on your bluff, or so he says.

HOW TO GET RID OF FEAR
1.if someone's tailgating you-so be it,let them follow u..they can't read ur thoughts-they dont know hu u r-so do..
2 If they keep on beeping u-ignore them-dont respond
3.always get inside ur lane-don't overtake,and don;t even think about it-take ur time don't panic don't hurry..
4.always remember-wen ur on the right lane and someone bumps behind,it is always their FAULT.
5.the life of others may depend on u,be cautious and safety first always..
sethfreak85 2 years ago 6
Another thing u can do if somes tailgating u is pub hard pressure onto your brakes. Bu keeping the car rolling DO NOT STOP. This then puts the shits up them and they sure as hell will keep there distance.
!!!DONT TRY THIS WHEN YOUR ON YOUR DRIVING TEST OR ON YOUR LESSONS. THIS IS NOT PART OF THE HIGHWAY CODE!!
A little bit of fear goes a very long way though to prove your point.

That really doesn't help. If someone else is making you nervous pull over so they don't cause you or the car severe damage? Right.. this definitely does not help ppl with real fear of driving. The reason why I fear driving is the because of the lunatics that already have a driving license.

@Cable3999 I wrote that the day before my first lesson so I was really edgy. I've since had 6 lessons & I agree pulling over to calm down if you get nervous is the best way.

The most important thing about driving is getting into the habit of doing it right and legal. Even if nobody is around. Because then when you actually need to do it right, it will just happen naturally. So signal for your lane changes and turns, look before you change lanes and don't just signal 1 second before you change lanes.
I HATE it when morons signal AS they are turning or changing lanes. What is the point in that? Might as well not signal.
Don't be one of these people. :)
