Hi everybody, I just thought I'd share with everyone that I'm 19 years old and still too afraid to drive a car.

LOL.


Godddddd I don't want to crash and die >_>...............................................


All that's left is to take the freaking test.

Bro:"hey wanna go practice driving again?"

Me:"no? wtf is the point? Step on the gas turn left and right? cause yeah wow, that's so hard right?"


ahhhhhhhhhh.................i need to drive....but too afraid.




I met a really pretty girl the other day while at a party with some friends.

it was time to go home.....and we were saying goodbyes and stuff.

i was like"kk bye drive home safe O_o"

she was like "you too!"

and then I felt like a LOSER..................

me:"yeah....I don't drive...."
*points to friends TYPICAL UNCOOL HONDA*
me:"but.....i'll ride home safe"

">_>...........bye"


*me gets into the back seat defeated*



ahhhhh, .......Lol.

[JENNiFER*]

well i'm 16 & i don't have plans for driving any time soon. i don't ever want to drive.
everybody around me are getting their license already, so i feel kind of odd ...
i'm too afraid to drive. i might crash into someone & kill them. >_____<

[teaispink]

Your only 19...

my sister is 30 and she freaks out in cars. =_="""
it's true.

[cpopbaby19]

im on the contrary! im 16 and do not have license.. but i want. .__. i desperately want (and a car too..) but im not allowed until i reach 18.

[crazyANDdelusional]

I've never really wanted to drive. I want to be the one who's still walking around while everybody else is in their hovercrafts and whatnot, hahah. I know, I'm a rebel LOL.
Also, I have really bad car sickness. I know that most of the time drivers don't get carsick, but I dunno, my car sickness might be bad enough that even being the driver doesn't help. Maybe one minute into a car ride and I'm already sick. I think that's pretty sad, but whatever.

[Amethist]

In my country you have to be 18 years old before you can drive, and I'm 17.. But yeah driving looks scary to me too. I have done kart racing before and I totally sucked in it >_<;.. I bumped so many times O_o;..

A lot of kids from school drive scooters though (since you are allowed to drive those when you're 16).. But hmm to me, that looks even more dangerous actually O_o;.. And going to school by bike is better for nature's health..

[supad0rk]

Are you just simply afraid or do you like get a full out panic attack if you are in the driver seat? Bad past experiences or just listen to too much stories your hear from other people?

I have had one car totalled by being rear ended and sandwiched in traffic, rear ended before that in traffic, almost killed myself by cutting three lanes to avoid hitting cars after traffic suddenly locked up, almost understeered into the side of a mountain, and spun out a few times in the middle of the road. My theory is that you live and you learn, most drivers get a lil shakey after certain things, I think after getting sandwiched I am a lot more cautious with crazy bay area traffic, I brake early so i can judge if the person behind me is paying attention or not.

[Silly]

you should practice cause then you'll get used to it and be less scurred I didn't get my license either until i was about 18! But that's cause I kind of had to learn how to drive haha

[stoked!]

Well there are really people who're afraid to drive a car. Mu aunt is 30+ and she's scared of driving. I think she's starting to have a phobia in driving cars. But me, on the other hand knows how to drive (only automatic ones ), and I'm still 15. My father taught me how to but still I need to wait till I'm 18. BTW, yes, I'm tall enough to reach the pedal in mini cars. XDD.


<3 hyie

[=Jo3y=]

hey,

that's okay! i was 20 when i got my licence, although it took me 3 years to get it cause i was scared to drive.

but finally i motivated myself to get it and its not bad, i actually enjoy driving now.

Ive learnt that if u want to drive, you can, but if don't, its hard to learn and be confident on the road.

so find something to motivate you to learn..haha..get a gf or something! jk =P

[kaisz]

if your scared you better dont drive. Its not only your own safety but of a lot peoples.
but you can start learning on computer simulations.
and its nothing wrong with 19 and no license.
i got mine on my late 19's (18 legal to drive in Holland)

[cksdayoff]

The more you practice driving, the less scared you'll be.

Sooner or later, you're going to have to drive to commute to school or work. You can't take public transportation all the time or bum rids off your friends.

You're only 19, so really, you'll get comfortable driving a vehicle if you practice, how little or how much you practice isn't an issue, just drive, whether it be around the block, or any short trip.

[asukaxD]

I turned 17 last month and I'm freaked out about driving too =P And everyone around me are like 'yay! I can't wait to get my license >>'... I'm scared that I'll like kill someone lol well, i'll wait a couple more years =)

[aironeousB]

I didn't get mine until 23 years old. My girlfriend would take me out to shopping mall parking lots and let me drive her car. It was automatic so a much different experience than a stick shift in the rain and mud like my step dad would have me try when I was 15 at the city dump.
That was kind of fun but scary sliding around and not being able to really get control of the vehicle. I think he just did it to F with me and laugh (he was laughing the whole time cuz I couldn't do it right).

But with my girlfriend when I was 23 it was peaceful and easy and comfortable and a good experience. She just answered my questions and yeah it's just brake and gas with an automatic.
Don't be afraid to drive cuz the speed is a relative thing.
When you're going just as fast as the other cars then they don't seem to be going so fast. That's why it gets easier to confront. Just drive around in an empty parking lot for a while and you won't feel like you will run over someone after that.
If all else fails just say to yourself.
"Wait a second....If she can do it, I can do it too." That worked for me when I was your age.

[furiousx3]

lol wtf!! how can u be afraid to drive dude!! u know how much life would suck if u cant drive alwasy depend on other ppl to drive u around wah wah.

[OMGITSJIMINxD]

my mom beats you all lol shes like 42? and she KNOWS how to drive but shes too afraid = =; WHY?!
cause on the day she was taking the drivers test ( when I was like 3..?) my dad and I were in a car crash and that was basically the end of her I WANT TO DRIVE thing. lol

[yhsim!]

get past that, don't think you're going to die. driving is really really convinent.

[monkey.magic3]

yea you just got to think about it - too drive crash and die you'll have to be driving really quick - so if your driving at an average speed - and something were to happen you can just brake - the more u drive the confident you get you just need to take the first step

haha

[iDoof]

hey man, there's good reason to be afraid. EVERY SINGLE DAY on the road I see terrible, terrible drivers all over the place. People are complete idiots on the road.

but the time will come where the necessity to drive overcomes your fear of it. we all just do it cause we have to and pray to God we don't die. Until then, just do what you gotta do.

[final_en_grey]

im 20 and im the exact same way

but im getting my licence sometime this year ughhhh
