Why Florida’s Left Lane Ban Makes Driving Safer for Everyone

I recently drove through Florida and noticed how frustrating it can be when drivers camp out in the left lane, blocking faster traffic. With Florida passing a bill to ban left lane driving except for passing or turning, I think this is a great move for safety and smoother traffic flow. I’ve seen near-misses caused by slow drivers in the passing lane, so this law just makes sense. If you’re in Florida, remember to keep right unless you’re passing!

When Driving Feels Scary: My Unexpected Panic Attack

I've been driving for about 5 years, but today something happened that really shook me.

Overcoming the Fear of Hurting Someone While Driving

I’m 24 and have had my license for a while, but honestly, I’m terrified of making a mistake behind the wheel and hurting someone. My parents are great drivers, and even my younger sibling drives with confidence, but I just can’t shake this anxiety. One time, I got so nervous with both my parent and sibling in the car that I missed a turn and got honked at. I felt awful and scared I could have caused an accident. What’s helped me is practicing in quiet areas, taking deep breaths, and reminding myself that being cautious is a strength, not a weakness. Anyone else struggle with this?

Why Driving in DFW Feels Like a Daily Battle

Every time I hit the road in DFW, my anxiety spikes. I’ve driven in big cities like LA and Chicago, but nothing compares to the unpredictability here. Even when I follow every rule—sticking to the right lane, using signals, and driving defensively—someone always finds a reason to rage. I’ve even caught some wild moments on my dashcam, but sharing them online just invites criticism. As someone on the spectrum, it’s exhausting, but I won’t let it change my commitment to safe driving.

How I’m Facing My Fear of Cars After 6 Accidents

After being a passenger in six accidents (yes, six!), my fear of cars is real. The first time, a tractor trailer sideswiped us when I was just 10. Most recently, my cousin and I stalled out on the side of the road, and someone on their phone crashed into our parked car. We had to jump onto the median to avoid getting hit. Living in Dallas, where blinkers are optional and drivers are glued to their phones, doesn’t help. Therapy feels pointless when the roads seem so unsafe, but I’m learning to take small steps—like driving only during off-peak hours and practicing mindfulness. Anyone else struggle with this?

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?

Why Tow Ratings Matter: A Lesson From Last Night

Last night, I came across a stranded vehicle on the roadside, clearly overloaded and struggling. It reminded me how easy it is to overlook tow ratings when we’re eager to get moving. I’ve been tempted to push my truck’s limits before, but seeing the real consequences up close was a wake-up call. Always check your vehicle’s tow rating and never exceed it—it’s not just about performance, but safety for everyone on the road. Have you ever seen or experienced a towing mishap?
