Is driving fun?
Will I ever be able to enjoy driving, or is it always stressful? I just started driving lessons and I don’t really like them. I just get nervous every time I’m behind the wheel and I don’t know how to calm down.

If you’re safe and careful, driving can be really fun! However, you’re definitely not the only person to experience driving anxiety.
Here are a few things that you can do to try to help you enjoy driving a little more:
- Put on your favoriteplaylist. Listening to music that you love can improve your mood and reduce your anxiety.
- Take some deep breaths. Try the four-seven-eight method! Breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for seven, then breathe out for eight seconds. This type of breathing can reduce anxiety.
- Practice, practice, practice. The more you practice, the more confident you’ll become in your driving abilities.
- Plan in advance. If you know exactly where you’re driving, it’ll be easier to anticipate any potential hazards, traffic, etc.
- Roll down your windows. If it’s warm outside, rolling your windows down can make driving a lot more fun!
As a new driver, it can also be really difficult to find affordable car insurance. The
Jerry
