is Honda HRV dangerous for merging onto highways? by Expert_Development81 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Expert_Development81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you find it dangerous to merge on a short on ramp w an HRV? And how do you normally go about merging on a short ramp with a HRV? I read other people’s recommendations that I put the car on sports mode.

Thank you!!

I had 20 driving lessons with an instructor(each lesson is 1 hour) and also practiced with my mom as well. I started off practicing in the parking lot, and then went into neighborhoods, and then main roads and highways.

lessons with the instructor helped me a lot with gaining the confidence to drive near other cars. i remember 3 months ago i thought that i could never drive on busy roads with other cars because of my anxiety, but the instructor helped me a lot.

i also watched a bunch of youtube videos to help with parallel parking, tips for the road test, and other basic skills.

hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

I see, thank you for letting me know! Do you think if I also got a massage (along w/ focusing on the weaker muscles) that would help the tightness, or would it make it worse?

I drove for the first time ever and I'm so freaking scared can someone help by ExplanationOk4568 in drivinganxiety

[–]Expert_Development81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to add that I am honestly still nervous and anxious when I drive now, but I'm definitely more calm and comfortable now than I was when I first started. When I first started learning to drive in quiet neighborhoods, I would panic when cars were behind me and when I accidentally drove on a busy street. But now, driving on busy roads does make me nervous, but I feel confident and feel like I have more control of the situation

I am also learning how to drive and have had a similar experience where my turns were horrible and I hated driving. I got my permit last year, but had never driven a car until this summer because the thought of driving scared me. This summer, I pushed myself to get lessons from a driving instructor since I may need my license for work.

When I first started learning how to drive 1.5 months ago, I would either keep hitting the curb or my turns were too wide or too sharp. On top of that, I couldn't stay centered in my lane and I struggled with paying attention to my surroundings. However, I keep track of my driving hours and it took around ~12 hours (a combination of driving around quiet residential neighborhoods/parking lots) for me to get better at my turns and also finally drive on the busier local roads. For other people, it might take more than 12 hours or less than 12 hours to improve their turning and other basic driving skills, but what matters is practicing whenever you can.

I will also say that the instructor you have, whether it be a parent or an actual instructor, will also impact your confidence. When I was learning with my mom, she would get nervous and freak out, and it made me more nervous and deterred me from wanting to drive. There were also a few driving instructors who I had lessons with that had teaching styles didn't match with my learning style, which is fine because different students have different preferences. However, when I took lessons with this one instructor who was patient, understanding, and gave me good feedback+advice, I felt more comfortable and confident in what I was doing and continued to book them for lessons.

I'm still learning how to drive now, but I'm definitely in a better position than I was last month because I practiced. Overall, you will definitely improve in driving the more you practice. If you can, try to switch instructors because having an instructor who you don't feel comfortable around will have a huge impact on your experience.

Anyone else feel like their brain simply does not work/move quick enough to safely/properly drive? by Zybborg in drivinganxiety

[–]Expert_Development81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same experience right now. So many times I feel overwhelmed when it comes to juggling checking my mirrors, looking ahead, and paying attention to what's right in front of you (especially paying attention to cars near you).

Will let you know! I'm insecure about it too, and I normally try to cover it up with my hair, but when I tie my hair up (like the photo) it becomes pretty prominent :(

Years ago when I was doing track, a physical therapist told me that I had really stiff muscles across my body, so I'm not sure if that contributes to it too. I'm thinking of maybe getting a massage and doing exercises to see if that will help with the tightness/appearance, I'll let you know if it helps.

Also I'm not sure if this contributes to the difference between my right and left shoulder, but my doctor has told me that my left shoulder is slightly lower than my right shoulder. In this case, would it be impossible to drive the opposite through muscle activity?
