I dont know why, but I am really afraid to drive! I'm 15 and I've already driven a couple of times, but everytime my mom asks me if i want to drive somewhere, my stomach just drops! Thats how bad i hate driving! I don't know how to get over this fear, and I mean, i'm not a horrible driver, I just am so nervous!
I'm takin drivers ed this summer, so my question is, how do i get over this fear before drivers ed?
Fear isn't really a bad thing but it shouldn't be crippling either. I believe you shouldn't be relaxed when driving, comfortable yes but not so relaxed you forget you are piloting a machine that can hurt innocent people or yourself. Driving safe is a responsibility and yes, I agree try sitting in the driver's seat, get comfortable with the steering wheel, pedals, mirrors etc and if you have to, turn off the radio and get rid of any distractions, like loud passengers (let 'em walk LOL). Just one little piece of advice, don't ever assume the other driver is going to do the right thing, like, stop at a stop sign or use their turn indicators.
