Hello everybody, How can I overcome fear of driving? I'm always afraid that I'm going to have an accident while I'm in the car. I don't know why, because nothing bad ever happened to me while driving? But I would like to resolve this, since the fear works limiting and I just want to feel free.

It seems we all go through various phases from learning to drive to being an expert ... It seems an expert can anticipate the possible next moves of vehicles nearby (in all directions) Perhaps it is worth noting that driving is about multiple concerns all at the same time. e.g. am I headed the right way ? is my speed too high or too low ? should I speed up or slow down? etc. It seems practice will make fear of driving go away eventually ... What do you think ?

Thank you, ruperto. Yes, I guess experience and confidence has got a lot to do with is.
