My Husband Drives to fast!

[Snowy]

Hey All!

I am very nervous with fast drivers and it stems back to when I was a late teen, early 20's, my friends boyfriends, as soon as they found out i was nervous they would do it on purpose just to get me to scream. When I think today, they were not very nice people and did not help my driving phobia at all.

My husband has what I think as social anxiety when it comes to driving, he worries a lot about the car behind him, so he drives fast, though he would never admit that. He makes a lot of people nervous with his driving and I really wish he would slow down.

He has been sick for well over a week and I convinced him to got to emerg on Sat., he was gone that long, he come home with 3 perscriptions. So we were going to moms, so we were going to stop and get the scripts on the way. Since I don't get the druggy effect from my new pain meds, I can drive a lot more now, so I was driving cause hubby was sick hehe haha hehe.

He was so nervous, because he is so use to going so fast, at first I was a bit nervous with him in the passenger seat, but about after 10 mins i was fine. I was so proud of myself. He really got a taste of what the rest of us feel, even though I was driving the speed limit, to him, it was slow motion. I really hope he slows down, or I will be doing a lot more driving.

It felt really good, I like being behind the wheel more.

hello everyone. this is a deffinate first for me so am a bit nervous. my ''thing'' is motorway and duel carriageway driving. it frightens the heck out of me. i used to have very bad agoraphobia to the point i couldn't look out of the windows. going outside was a no go. i had a son and managed to bring myself out a bit at a time. i was determind not to let my boy know of this daft fear i had. i can live my life fine now. i cannot find a way around this driving fear. it's apparently very common which doesn't help at all!!! i'm not to bad driving around town but even the thought of driving on one of those roads fills me with awfull dread. wish i could crush this one. can it happen?
anyway, nice to see a site that can help me not feel alone and mad! angiexx
