How to Overcome Fear of Driving

Video Transcript

"Now I'd like to talk to you about overcoming your fear of driving. A lot of people you know when they first get in a car are very intimidated by driving cause they are afraid they are going to make a mistake. You really just want to kind of relax you know cause if you are really nervous it's more likely that you are going to make a mistake so when you first are learning how to drive you might you know stick to roads near your house where you feel a little bit more comfortable. Stick to single lane roads so you don't have to deal with multiple lanes of traffic right at first because that can be a nerve racking experience for a lot of people. You know just generally be calm, be aware of what's going on around you and if you are driving down the road and there's someone tailgating you, or there's someone driving and they are making you nervous, just pull off to the side of the road, stop the car and let them pass where it's safe of course. Pull off somewhere where it's safe, let them pass and then continue down the road. I mean there's if someone is really making you nervous on the road and then it's probably better to let them go past because if you are nervous you are going to make a mistake that could result in sever damage to your car or yourself."
