How to overcome Car Driving Fears

Hello Travelers,

Let me share about my fears I had when I started driving my car. Even after driving car for 9 years I am no expert but have clocked close to 80000 Kms on the Odometer.

When I took delivery of the car I was happy. But I also had fears like how well I would drive this car without facing any issues, How to reach the destination safely, Which lane to be in. What speed to drive at, How to park, etc..

Within 20 days of Car delivery I took my car out of Bangalore. So this took out major fear from my mind.

Then I was afraid to take the car out during heavy traffic times. For out station trips I would leave early mornings and return late nights. This continued for some time until I started driving car in heavy traffic areas. This took away some more fear from me.

Next fear was driving in Rain or fog or cold. I took some tips how to use wipers, set temp of AC appropriately so that fog doesn't get built up inside the car and obstruct your vision.

Another fear was hill station drives. So one day I drove my car to Ooty. The hilly region drive especially the 36 hair pin bend route took the fear out of me. Now I can drive to any hill station with out fear. I have driven to almost many popular hill station in South India.

I would always suggest people to take the car out to places you fear most to drive. If you want to gain driving experience then you have to drive, drive and only drive. That is the only option.. 

Come on people if not now then when? Start now or you will always fear driving the car.
