Is it just normal?

[joyouspirit]

Everytime I will get ready for work and I know I am driving, I always get butterflies in my stomach.

I am a new driver and I am a careful driver, I just want to ask if it is normal to feel this way. Will it go away, when I get used to driving more?

Just wondering. I always pray the whole time I am driving.

I was nervous for maybe a week or two when I first started to drive alone. I was fine after that.

 

[crishmael]

I used to really get the driver's nerves bad, which might explain why I'm not much of a fan of driving. I'm usually okay now, but highway driving still makes me nervous.

 

[deliciousBass]

Yeah that goes away. I drive between 30,000 and 35,000 miles a year and the road is like a second home to me.

I suppose it will linger for a while yet if you don't get more experience on the road and it probably varies from person to person and how much you enjoy it, and risky behavior in general haha.

It'll pass eventually. There's nothing wrong with being careful and mindful of what you're doing but it does get easier over time.

 

[Luther073082]

Yeah your nervousness go down eventually. It will probably take some time though.

You will probably be more comfortable once it becomes more or less second nature.

I think I am beginning to like it or I have always wanted to see myself driving on my own.

I haven't tried the freeway, I know someday but not yet now.

Luther - I thought I am the only one who doesn't like shopping.....

yea, it goes away. Then it becomes simply like using the internet or calling someone on the phone, etc. It will just be normal.

Now, on the other hand, when u have to drive an hour one way to school three times a week, and u have no radio and no company, then u start to get them again when u phase back in from getting a little sleepy. heh.
