How do you gain confidence driving on motorways?

I just got my license, and I still get freaked out by driving fast speeds. How can you get over a fear of driving on the highway?

Don’t worry—nervousness while driving on highways is totally normal. The best way to gain confidence driving on motorways is to practice regularly.
Be easy on yourself, too! Driving will become second nature soon enough. In the meantime, here are some tips for gaining confidence when driving on faster-speed roadways:
  • Practice weekly—or daily. The more you expose yourself to highways, the more familiar—and comfortable—you will be. No need to push it, though. A few minutes on the highway a day will do the trick.
  • Practice with another driver in the passenger seat. This can help you feel secure and safe while testing new territory.
  • Be patient. Getting comfortable driving takes time! Don’t fret the days you prefer to take side roads.
You’ve got this!
Whether you’re driving on highways or back roads, make sure you have good
