- In this video, I tell you how to stop being scared of driving. At the end of the day, you have many reasons to be scared of driving. You are moving a large metal vehicle at high speeds, so it is a scary thing. But that fear should wear off after a few times behind the wheel, and sometimes the fear of driving persists, and I wanted to tell you exactly how to get rid of it throughout the video!

I needed this video. Thank you!
Thanks for the tip! I always have the urge to drive but I’ve only ever had a few practice sessions. So I feel like I lost all of my progress, causing me to feel scared about it all over again
same that really causes anxieties
Your hype energy gets me off so much pressure 😌

I needed this!!!
Thank you so much for the help
I already drove in a parking lot and in side streets but I'm still scared of driving. Thanks for the tips found it helpful.
Thanks man
Thank you brother
I honestly think it’s way easier to not be scared to drive if your a farm kid when you basically start driving well before the age you can get your learners and you have to drive even bigger machines like tractors and combines etc and plus when you get to drive the back roads and fields your probably by yourself so you get to gain that confidence in yourself that’s just my opinion
Bro I’m about to get a new car hand I haven’t drove since I passed the test 😭
Take it to an empty parking lot and get to know the car you know? Like the features and how it drives.
Can we get more parking videos.
This guy is genius
I needed this video 20 yrs ago 😅 but all of your videos are great & very informative they should show these videos in Driver's ED instead of that 6 hour tape we had to watch & the instructor 🙄 kids & young adults this guy is the way to go if there isn't someone in your life that can't show/teach you before you have Driver's ED 🙌😁
You're not too old to drive..
Oh I love you.

Thank you for this video because I got my driver’s license a year ago and have yet to buy a car for similar reasons mentioned here 😂
Can you explain a little
Heyyyyyy everyyboddddyyyyy....!
As someone with a anxiety disorder, I'll probably just come off as a negative nelly here. I for some reason got the itch to look at driving fear stuff because if being irked for the millionth time by people being stunned that I don't drive. I probably shouldn't, but the rabbit hole was too tempting in the moment I guess.
I did find driving simple as I'm pretty coordinated, but not the mindset. I could not get over the idea that I may hurt or kill someone else or myself over the slightest mistake. Walking doesn't carry a lot of that mental burden because as least if I got hit, it's "only" me that would be hurt by me being there. It's not as low risk as you say too. Around 55k dying in crashes on the U.S. is a small percentage, but that doesn't give you the full picture. Around 1.6m get in crashes that result in injuries annually and across a lifetime, 70 percent of drivers get in a crash. Statistically it is the single most dangerous thing anyone will do in their lives. Which makes sense when you realize the whole time is dodging everyone else in a heavy machine death trap. Eventually it will go awry if you do it enough as you only need to be overconfident, lax, distracted, anxiety ridden, etc... just once.
Most of the control doesn't lie in driver's hands either. As my anxiety grew, I found myself making more and more mistakes (some dangerous) that I didn't earlier on in a practice session because my anxiety was clouding my focus to the point of tunnel vision. I was always told that the more I did it, the more comfortable I got, but it was actually the opposite because I ended up learning that there were many more things that could go wrong than I even imagined. Your vision is restricted due to all the bars between windows, controls are delayed due to the mechanics taking a while to catch up with your actions, the vehicle moves itself even when you don't push the accelerator due to how the engines work so I'm always hoping the brakes don't fail me, etc...
So the confidence people get is really just a false expectation that everything will be fine because it went fine for so-and-so long already and thus built up a pattern of sorts. Somewhere around 90 percent of drivers think they are better than average. That's impossible. Thus when the crashes inevitably happen, they often develop fears (or ptsd) as it completely shattered their confidence in a instant of reality. My ex-uncle (divorced my aunt) was a incredibly confident driver to a fault. So when his first crash inevitably happened, he was likely shook. But he didn't want to show it, probably because he knew I was an extremely nervous driver/rider and didn't want to make me even more nervous. Why did I say he was likely shook? Because he got into two more crashes shortly after that which totaled two vehicles. So he went from zero to three crashes in a very short time. Pretty textbook nervousness impacting a driver. The first one wasn't even his fault either. He was stopped and someone hit him from behind just like you. The teen who did it wasn't paying attention and yep... One of the next two crashes he didn't even hit anyone, he just lost control and went off the road, rolling his truck over. Caused' a debilitating back injury that left him permanently disabled with chronic pain.
He's not the only one I know who has been in some crash either. Nearly everyone I know was in at least one. One of my cousins got in a crash that left him with a permanent injury, my mom has been in two (no injury somehow though), my aunt (whiplash neck injury) and grandma (also whiplash) were both in one together, etc... I luckily was never in one during my time on roads though. But maybe from all their crashes and my general anxiety disorder creating a strong imagination I feel highly uneasy with any vehicle. So much so that it impacts my abilities and this makes me unsafe. I don't even use golf carts while golfing or our riding lawn mower to do the lawn as they are too open (no doors or belts) as I feel like I'll fall off of them. Thus I quit for my sake and other's as I don't see a scenario where I'm ever comfortable enough to be focused. What's a little time save if it leaves me shaken for hours or even days afterwards to the point I can't get stuff done or sleep (I actually would get nightmares of brakes failing.) and I lose all the time saved and then some?
...and wow did this comment go on way longer than I expected. But the bottom line is that for many like myself, it's not as simple as you put it in the video. Many drivers like myself should not be driving because of their anxiety, overconfidence, recklessness, whatever. But unfortunately they are often pushed into it by others and it doesn't end well.
I am scared of driving on highway... I only drive on service road ... how do I overcome this fear? Please help
To be honest it’s easier to drive on the highway , no stoplights no perdestians , just keep your following distance and if you really are scared just sit in the right lane
👌🏻👍🏻
