Are you a nervous driver? Do you start to get anxious even before you get behind the wheel? Anxious driving isn’t just a matter of “calming down.” Not everyone understands it, but an anxious driver can’t calm down and the advice tends to make things worse. Well, your Phillipsburg Area Honda dealer has some tips to help diffuse the anxiety bomb.
Determine How Serious It Is
There are plenty of people who get anxious when it comes to driving in snow or driving at night or driving in the city. If you only experience anxiety around a certain set of circumstances, it can be easy to avoid those situations by taking other modes of transportation or having someone else drive.
Passengers
If you’re one of those folks who are always wound up no matter where or when you’re driving, it can often start with passengers. Limit the number of people who tend to be in your car whenever possible. Whoever is in your car, make it clear to them that you’re a little bit of a nervous driver. Let them know what works best for you: no radio, windows down, no chitchat. It’s better to be thought rude for a few moments than risk an accident.
Timing
One of the simplest things to do is to plan a useful schedule. If you can, leave well before or after high traffic times. Look for alternate routes like side roads that might ease your mind, even if they take a little bit longer.
