All the cars on the road make me feel uncomfortable?

Question

I get worried when I see the amount of cars on the road and how close people get in accidents all the time.. Packed like sardines, everywhere.. Why are there so many cars on the road and why does it make me uncomfortable?

Answer 1

There are so many cars on the road because people love their cars, don't carpool enough and don't live close enough to their jobs. It may be the safety rating of your own vehicle that scares you. Educate yourself on accidents and safe cars and buy one!

Answer 2

where you ever in a car accident? that can make you scared.

Answer 3

Sounds like you have anxiety or panic disorder, look those two up on webmd.com.. I have the same problem. I have trouble driving because of it.

Answer 4

There are more people now and of course more cars. Everything is spread out and there is little planning for what is best or makes sense. I hear you. I feel uncomfortable too. I'd rather just take public transit but it's not available for where I live and work. I took it once from where I used to live to work (it was convenient) but there was no break in the cost of a ticket (city a to city h, stopping at city d) and it was overcrowded. I had a difficult time getting off the train at city d because of all of the people getting on there to go to city h.

Poor planning, lots of people, suburban sprawl, etc.

Where I live a lot of people have very long commutes and short tempers. There was even an article in the paper about people being really bad drivers.

Answer 5

Big giant oil trucks are what scare me all the time. Passing them is freaky cause you never know... They could tip or something.
