How did you overcome fear of driving?

[babymom20]

worst ko naman is elliptical road.. marami na akong nababasa about it pero hindi ko alam na ganun pala sya kaseryoso.. may shock factor ako..hindi ko alam kugn pano ako nakatabi eh..sa isip ko na nun bahala na, bangga kung bangga hahaha..grabe.. kaya lang one time pa lang yun, hindi ko pa nauulit..may pinuntahan lang kami nun kaya napadaan dun..buti na lang kasama ko si hub at kahit pano may support pero alam ko kinabahan rin sya hahaha..

ako mga sis started to drive again. nagstop ko for awhile then resume recently lang.

ok naman so far kaso kakatakot pa din kasi daming di disciplinado sa daan. what i hate most is the idea na they dont stick to their lane. matiwasay naman kunga lahat stick dba hehe... madalas kung daanan yung eliptical coz i leave near sm fairview no choice kung di daanan sya, funny coz everytime na padating nako dun i usually tell myself its showtime hehe, challenge. as for edsa once lang at di pa matagal galing ko trinoma and i had to uturn no choice after that yaw ko na. ang isa sa iniiwasan ko eh lrt/ buendia grabe!!! lalo na kung galng ka sa intersecion from makati hayyyyy. tindi ng mga jip.

ako aksidente lang. takot ako mag drive. then one time, try ko idrive yung matic na revo. sa street lang namin, tapos paikot-ikot. ayun. matic kase kaya madali. pero di ako nagddrive sa main road kase takot pa din ng konti and wala ako license. pero dito sa village lalo na pag gabi na, yun drive drive ako.. sarap! self-fulfilling!

naovercome ko yung fear noong sobrang need ko na pumasok sa school ng hindi nalelate.. haha tinatamad kase ako mag commute nung day na yun so i decided to drive the car slowly and ayun i was so happy it went well and nakarating ako sa school safely.. from then on i go to school by car.. pag coding lang ako nag cocommute hehe

terible naman kasi ang mga drivers dito sa manila! 

kahit marunong ka na magdrive, nenerbyusin ka talaga sa kanila e!

i think there's nothing to worry / fear in driving as long as you are in your proper lane and when to change lane as well.  Also, we should know when to be fast and when to slow down.  It does not matter if it is manual or matic as long as we have discipline sa kalsada.

I find it interesting and productive.

i need to overcome this as well. i will read each post here it might help

[kim360]

I think all it takes is practice!

[juicy]

I used to be really scared nervous when driving, kahit na naka low ang aircon sobrang giniginaw ako    ... hay lalo na if hubby rides with me mas nappressure ako... but thanks God, finally i could drive na talga w/o the kaba-kaba factor.lakasan lang ng loob and confidence.from day one when i started driving alone from house to office and house, tuloy tuloy na.i love love driving!

^^haha, ako nga kahit ngayon wala gusto sumakay sakin (i curse kase, hehe) nine-nerbyos sila sa mga lumalabas sa bibig ko. bad-mouthed driver.

[ella1152]

was able to overcome my fear of driving through my son, had to bring him to school and fetch him again' now that he is nursery kaloka, before  i feel lazy to drive thingking the traffic, rude drivers, etc..etc.. pero anything for my son, he wants me to drive him to school instead of riding a trike' ayun, im thankful enough na overcome ko any fear down the road and happily driving for him each day.

^motivation. that is excatly what everyone needs.

[pagirllang]

i bought the car first before learning how to drive. that way napilitan ako talaga mag-aral. wala nang choice eh.

[pinkk]

i started on roads with less cars and kids running around. I'm motivated by my partner in life to drive.

[proudmama]

hayyy  i hope darating din yun time na maoovercome ko ang takot sa pagdrive. tapos na ko magdriving lesson sa driving school but syempre di naman enough yon. tinuturuan ako ng tatay ko para mapractice kaso lagi ako namamatayan especially pag full stop tapos naka 1st gear siya. kanina naman pabitin ako tinuruan nako ubos na gas ng kotse ko di ko pa matutunan ang timpla. sobrang nafufrustrate na talaga ako. my hubby is not helping pa mas natatakot ako sa mga kinukwento niya lalo akong kinakabahan. hayyy

[pinkk]

i usually do daily driving routine before, but i havent drive in Manila, commute lang ako(Puv's in Manila mostly are road psychos)

[jaded1025]

Dahil ayaw ko magpatalo sa younger brother ko kasi mas nauna sya payagan mag-aral magdrive. Haha! Pride lang, for short.

For the longest time, hinde ako nagda-drive mag-isa. Lage kasama hubby ko and I was so dependent on him to teach me road tricks. Recently lang ako nag-drive mag-isa. I just bit the bullet and decided na I should give it a try. I was so surprised at myself kase I'm pretty good at it pala kahit wala hubby ko kase mas nakakapagconcentrate ako sa diskarte and all.
