I have a phobia about driving at the Freeway, what should I do?

Answer 1

man up, boyo

Answer 2

Have someone drive you through the freeway twice and talk you through the process. Take the wheel on the 3rd try but still with someone guiding you through.

Consider taking the Smith System Advanced Defensive Driving Course. As safety coordinator in a multi-national corp., I took several courses and found Smith System to be the best.

Answer 3

try short drives when the freeway is less busy. Plan what exits you need to use aand get in the exit lane early . Dont panic if you miss an exit, just have an alternate route . If you are overwhelmed pull off on the breakdown lane , shut off the engine and just relax for a while .

Answer 4

stay off the freeway until you are a more confident motorist. If you must get on the freeway, remeber to breathe and try to relax.
Also get some practice in on the freeway when it isn't so busy, like at night or on Sundays.

Answer 5

Steer smoothly at all times.

Always obey the posted speed limits. If needed, reduce your speed to adjust for existing weather, road, and other traffic conditions.

Follow at a safe distance. Use the three-second rule. Increase your following distance in bad weather or poor visibility.

Signal for all lane changes and turns.

Always look for potential hazards (scan). Check your mirrors frequently.

Drive defensively. Anticipate another driver’s errors.
