Overcoming Driving Anxiety

One useful trick in overcoming driving anxiety is to get comfortable with you vehicle. Most people don't even realize how uncomfortable they are when they are driving - they just plaster themselves in the driver seat and drive off!

Only when they are on the road they start to realize how uncomfortable they are. They are seated so front that they can't interchange the brake and acceleration pedal easily. The air-con is at full blast and its freezing their hands - they can't feel the steering wheels. The mirrors are not adjusted properly, they can't see the surrounding cars and blind spots.

You may not believe it but all these factor into your driving anxiety. Imagine a car stopped suddenly in front of you! Won't it be much better if you can hit the brakes easily? But you can't do so because you leg is bent at an awkward angle from sitting too front! You panic and try desperately to jam you leg on the brake pedal.

Be in control, make yourself comfortable because it really does help in reducing driving anxiety.

>> Overcoming driving anxiety is easier than you think with the proper knowledge and understanding of how it works.
