Stress is normal when driving, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. There are some simple things you can do to reduce stress while driving, including:
  • Listening to music or a
    podcast
  • Taking deep breaths
  • Adjusting your seating and hand positions
  • Leaving space between you and other cars on the road
  • Pulling over when you feel overwhelmed (if it’s safe to do so)
  • Giving yourself extra time so you aren’t rushing
