Answer 1

just relax. they aren't going to hurt you.

Semi trucks and emergency vehicles are one of the best drivers because they have to have extra driving training.

all you need to do is RELAX and remember you know how to drive your just mentally scared.

good luck.

much love.

Answer 2

do everyone a favor and stay off the road until you work through your problem

Answer 3

First, get in your car and get comfortable. Adjust the seat, mirrors and anything else that may make you uneasy. Being comfortable is very important in overcoming the fear of driving. Once you are relaxed behind the wheel, even if the car is off, that's a step in the right direction.

Ask a friend or your husband to join you in your car. With a friend in the car, they can help you relax even further. Anything you can do to cut the tension is good when overcoming the fear of driving.

Turn down any music. Loud music can be a distraction when driving. Until you are comfortable behind the wheel again, keep the volume down. If you prefer listening to music, listen to music that makes you feel peaceful.  It can also cause problems when emergency vehicles are coming behind you.

Take small steps. The first time you get in the car, just drive around the block. Next time, you can drive a few miles and then return. Build up your endurance as you feel more comfortable. Take your time and don't force yourself to drive far until you are totally relaxed behind the wheel.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

Learn how to see things in slow-motion. By that I mean watch a potential situation unfold and react to it as it happens, split-second by split-second, saving any thought of panic until the danger is past.

After that, you may have to pull over to catch your breath and let your heart slow down, but at least you'll be out of trouble. If you have ever been in a close call, you probably know what is meant by "everything happened in slow motion."

All I'm saying is, use this effect to your advantage, and the best way to do that is to not panic.

Answer 5

Go to a driving school.  They will teach you to drive.  I take it you don't have a drivers license neither.  You need to look into driving schools, and see what they can do.
