I Hit a Parked Car—Now I’m Scared to Drive Again

Yesterday, I accidentally hit a parked car for the second time. I left a note, and the damage was barely noticeable, but the owner still called the cops. Now, I’m facing the possibility of paying thousands, which is terrifying since I’m 24 and in grad school. This whole situation has shaken my confidence behind the wheel. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Take a deep breath, consider a defensive driving course, and remember—mistakes happen. How do you cope with driving anxiety?

Why Getting Honked At Feels So Personal Behind the Wheel

I know honking is necessary sometimes, especially in emergencies, but honestly, it always stings when it happens to me. Today, I was waiting to turn left at a busy intersection, and the car behind me started honking. I felt pressured and a bit embarrassed, especially with my friend in the car. Later, someone honked at me again when their lane was ending. It made me question my driving, even though I had the right of way. It helps to remember that everyone makes mistakes, and honking doesn’t always mean you’re wrong. If you ever feel shaken by a honk, take a deep breath and remind yourself you’re still learning.

When Your Dashboard Light Makes You Panic

I got this that popped up on my dash—is my car turning into a water fountain?!? My heart dropped when I saw the warning light. Turns out, it was just the coolant indicator, but I had no idea what to do at first. After a quick check under the hood (and a call to my mechanic dad), I topped off the coolant and was back on the road. If you ever see a strange light, don’t ignore it! Check your manual, ask for help, and don’t panic. Has this ever happened to you? Share your story below! #CarTroubles #EverydayDriving #StayCalmOnTheRoad #Cars

Instead of pushing through, I pulled over, rolled down the window, and just breathed for a minute. It was a simple pause, but it helped me refocus and calm down. My advice: If driving feels overwhelming, give yourself permission to stop and reset. It really helps. What do you do to stay calm during tough drives?
