How To Overcome The Fear Of Driving On The Highway

In this video, I tell you how to overcome the fear of driving on the highway. The simple matter of fact is that driving on the highway is much safer than driving on a main road because there is a much smaller chance for error. Three important things to do when driving on the highway and trying to conquer your fear are maintain the proper speed, change lanes smoothly, and merge onto the highway at the appropriate speed.

im afraid of driving on the highway because of people who drive like maniacs zipping in and out between cars

*Remember, you're not afraid of driving, you're afraid of crashing.*

The best tip is to focus on what you're doing. Slow and steady wins the race.
If you panic in any case, pull over, drink some water, breathe in, get going.

I'm a new driver and was always very nervous and scared of going the down highway. My hands would tremble and my legs would feel weak. I overcame my anxiety by my determination to not let it get to me. I started by using the highway at less busy times. I tried using the highway for every destination I needed to get to. The more times you go down the highway the better. First, try going down the highway to somewhere very close. A destination that's only one exit away. As you build more confidence take a longer route. Also, it's okay to stay in the "slow" lane. Just make sure you're driving within the posted speed range.

I’m not even really scared of driving on the freeway it’s the merging on to the freeway that scares the crap out of me

[shannonreonazalma]

My whole body starts shaking when I even attempt to get on that damn thing. The high speeds are what scares me, if anything goes wrong at that high of a speed, it's going to be really bad.

Now I have a fear of main roads. Thanks

That fact that it's safer does not matter to someone with a true phobia. It has nothing to do with it. Phobia is an irrational fear.

the only thing i hate about driving on the freeway are the semi trucks

[decembernovember]

I'm just scared of all the other cars around me. This is why I rather drive at night (which they say is harder) cause there's not as much cars but still, scary 😭

[QueenNatulcien]

What scares me is when someone drives too close to me or when I need to go on the highway but the ramp is too short and that cars drive too close for me to squeeze my car in between. Those things weren't an issue for me until I had an accident with a heavy load truck. Since then, I'm fine driving around in the city, but I dread highways.

People don’t distance themselves on the highway. And they drive like maniacs.

My mom and brothers are going to teach me how to drive over the summer before I go to college. Wish me luck, fellas!

just watching him drive on the freeway made me very anxious

[LaydeeMunch]

Highway driving just doesn’t appeal to me. 3-6 lanes going 70+ miles with no red lights for hours... nonstop

[HEYKAY]

I just don’t like that you can’t pull over at any given moment.. you have to wait until the next exit. Scary:(

[shannonreonazalma]

It's so hard to get over into another lane too, they're driving so fast and over the speed limit.

[mandymorgan]

Having a panic attack out the blue while driving has created my fear. I just cannot drive on a road that I can’t immediately pull over on if it happens again, trying to control a car with your hands and legs shaking like mad was just terrifying 😔

I've been driving for a few years and never on the freeway. Tomorrow i will try to conquer my fear. I will drive a small distance and gradually make my way. Lets say tomorrow im going to target. I am going to enter the freeway and take the first exit. It's a start. I am finding things that will help me feel better about it. I also hate the freeway cz of trucks. I hate being in between them. Wish me luck guys!
