Hello all can anyone relate to this??
(for those who know me, this is seperate to my other driving problems)
I am a very nervous passenger when in the car with anyone. My boyfriend and I spend a weekend every couple of weeks down on the south coast as he has a house there which he is trying to sell so every few weeks we go down for a weekend. It is a 2.5hour drive and I am a nervous wreck for most of the journey.
I am convinced that we are going to crash, I always think the worst and imagine that someone is going to pull out on us, or if we are on a motorway and are overtaking, then the person we are overtaking is not going to see us and we are going to crash etc. My boyfriend has been really patient but now it is starting to get to him, especially as I won't do any of the driving myself (you wouldn;t get me on a motorway for a million quid). its not even like he is a bad driver - he is a good driver so I dont know why I am like this
I just dont know how to get over it. Thankfully the journeys down south wont be forever- as soon as the house is sold then obviously we wont need to go down there at weekends
Does anyone else suffer from being a nervous passenger??
