Question:
I like an house north of our major city, Atlanta, and I have this huge fear of driving on the interstate. I do ok if someone else drives, but if a big truck goes right beside on either side I freak out. & if 2 get on either side at the time I practically hold my breath until there is an opening again. Everything seems so close to the vehicle though. When I use mapquest, I always use the avoid highways option and go the longer route. Any suggestions?

Best technique is to go with the flow. That is travel at the same speed as other cars which is usually higher than the limit. If you go too slow, then there are many cars and trucks passing you by which seems to be the source of your fear (you are not alone....). If you maintain the speed of the flow, then normally only very few cars will pass you by, and almost never a truck as they usually go a bit slower.why am i blamed when the police damaged my car?
Another technique I found which makes driving easier is to follow a big truck. Just make sure you don't follow too closely and you'll be ok.

I use to me nervous about driving on the highway too, but if its ur daily route, you will get use to it. Just stay on the lanes that you need to stay to get to your destination and you should be fine, that way you won't have to worry about changing lanes so you can exit or something like that.is a three wheel vechele fundementaly a homosexual mode of transport?

The chances of a trucker actually hitting you are almost nil. And If you learn a trucker's blind spots (most are on his right side) you should never have a problem. One thing to remember is that if you can see his mirrors, he can see you.
Also, your car can manuver much faster than that truck can, and you can pass him in short order if you don't like being beside him.

You could refer to her website or she say to drive out on the interstate to the 1st ramp and get off and get to the side of the road and then start doing some Push ups or Jumping jacks seems like 50 or so. Then get back into your car and get off the big road and go home. Then do it the next day adding another exit repeating the Push up or Jacks... each day adding more as you get more confidence.

It's ok to be afraid of driving on the interstate but that is not a reason not to face your fear. The main thing is to accept that you lack and my guess is experience. I was also a bit afraid of the interstate but now I zoom through like everyone else. It's really just a question of doing it enough times until you gain the confidence. But by all means be careful when you drive. My two major problems were merging into the interstate and also changing lanes. Now I have become quite good at both -- but I still change lanes kinda slowly to allow anyone that I may not have been to beep at me.
I can imagine how you feel. Just drive even when big trucks are beside you. Concentrate on keeping your car on your lane and you'll be fine. Remember that even with those big trucks, the drivers are good at keeping them on their lanes. So, as long as you keep to yours, you'll be fine and with time, the fear will slowly go away -- and you'll be really proud of yourself too!! :-)
What does bhp stand for as far as cars are concerned and what does it tell about the car?
take a high performance driving course , fear is caused by the unknown , a course like this will get you doing things on a closed course with a professional instructor that you will hopefully never have to do on the road , the more experience you have the higher your confidence level , my wife is learning to drive in snow this winter , be glad you don't have to contend with that .take ur time , listen to some music ... stay to the right.. if trucks make u nervous . get behind them ( follow at a safe distance , if u cant c his mirrors, he cant c u ).
try driving at night when there is less traffic .. mayb u can use this time for practice..
