How I’m Rebuilding My Driving Confidence After Multiple Accidents

Moving to the US in 2019, I had never driven before—public transport was my life. Learning to drive as an adult was tough, and after a few accidents, including being rear-ended by a semi, my confidence hit rock bottom. What’s helped me is taking small steps: short drives, practicing in empty lots, and talking to friends who’ve been through similar things. It’s okay to feel scared, but don’t let it stop you.

How I Faced My Driving Fears and Found My Groove

At 21, I’d never driven alone before. Parking between the lines felt impossible, and I’d sometimes bump the curb or panic at tricky turns. My dad’s tough feedback made me want to give up, but I realized I had to keep trying. I started with short solo drives in quiet neighborhoods, focusing on one thing at a time—like smooth turns or gentle stops. Every little success made me feel braver.

How I Faced My Driving Fears and Got Licensed at 23

For years, my anxiety and OCD made getting a license feel impossible. I didn’t even have a car to practice with, and the thought of driving filled me with dread. Six months ago, after failing my permit test three times, I finally passed on my fourth try. What changed everything was finding a third-party instructor—yes, it was $450, but those four days of lessons gave me the confidence I needed. Now, I’m licensed just before turning 24! I’m still nervous about buying my first car, but I’m proud I did this at my own pace. If you’re struggling, remember: small steps count.

How Facing My Highway Fears Changed My Driving Forever

When I first started driving, my anxiety was so intense that I stuck to only the closest, most familiar roads. The thought of merging onto a busy interstate made my stomach drop. But everything changed when I had to drive to an amusement park three days in a row—each time taking one of the busiest highways around. The first trip was nerve-wracking, but I survived. By the third day, something clicked. I started to enjoy the drive, even the merging! I realized that consistent practice and having a fun destination made all the difference. If you’re struggling with driving anxiety, keep going. It really does get better with time and experience. Have you overcome a driving fear?

I made it there and back, and I’m so proud! If you’re struggling, keep going—small steps add up. Have you ever overcome a fear for your kids?

Finding Confidence When You Prefer Slow Driving

As a new driver, I honestly feel most comfortable driving around 25 mph. I have a mild intellectual disability, and sometimes, the thought of going faster makes me anxious. I used to worry that I was holding people up, but I realized it's okay to go at my own pace while I build confidence. I stick to quieter roads and avoid rush hour when possible. If you feel the same, remember: safety comes first, and it’s okay to take your time. Have you ever felt nervous about driving fast?

Bouncing Back After a Parking Lot Mishap

Hey all, I had an embarrassing accident recently. I was in a parking lot and must've misjudged something (the position of my car I believe) and ended up scraping another car. The damage was minor and no one was hurt, I stayed there with the person and we exchanged info, but I can't help but feel bad about the whole thing. I'm a relatively new driver and just got my license a couple months ago. Honestly, I felt like giving up driving for a moment. But after talking with friends and reading some advice, I realized mistakes happen to everyone—especially when you're new. What helped me was practicing in empty lots, taking deep breaths before driving, and reminding myself that confidence grows with experience. Has anyone else had a similar moment? How did you move past it? Share your tips below! #NewDriverJourney #OvercomingMistakes #DrivingConfidence #Cars
