Your not alone. I'm always nervous while waiting on the red light to change to green. I'm constantly fearing that somebody is looking at me. I start looking down at the radio or messing with my cell phone. I truly hope to overcome it.

yeah i get nervous b/c I'm not exactly sure where to look and I turn down my music b/c I'm too afraid people will hear it and think my music tastes suck.

I actually don't mind this. The thing I love about driving is that I'll most likely never see these people again. So, I can act as silly as I want- I usual am singing to myself or what have you.
I once was stopped at a light, when this guy in the car next to me tried to pick me up! He was like "Hello. What's your name." I told him my name. I didn't even feel awkward because the light turned green and I drove off. So, it's not like you have to have long, deep encounters.

Yeh,I do and I hate it, I usually pull my car up farther so they can't see me. I hate being looked at at all anywhere!

Moonie - I wish I could be more like that!
I get a little anxious too, like everyone is looking into my car. I usually will just stare straight ahead and not look over.

hi flchick..i love driving most of the time, but i do the same thing you do at red lights...fiddle with the radio, change the station to look busy..and sometimes i try not to pull up directly beside the car beside me..so they can't see how uncomfortable i am :wink:flchick81 said:

Tinting the windows is a good idea. Cant say iv ever had a problem with what you described but now youv put it in my head I probably will thanks alot :lol:
My car (when I used to have one that is, im suspended from driving atm) was great I felt as though it gave me loads of freedom. You could probably say I felt the most comfortable in my car than most other places. It was good because I would drive to places and see things I probably woulnt otherwise, or aleast not often. Like of a night time I'd cruise around entertainment districts and stuff and people watch, soak up the vibe it was good.

Haha yeah me too, i'm usually thinking i'm going to make some driving mistake infront of everyone. My windows are tinted but people can still see me, usually i'm "singing" along to rock or metal music and drumming on the steering wheel, for some reason i'd rather people think "what the hell is she doing" than "she's a really crap driver"

I used to be worried about making a mistake aswell how embarrassing.
Especially with holding up heaps of traffic so they can wait for me to do a reverse parallel park :lol: I got over it years ago though dosnt worry me anymore.
How this though man, this is a great story.
Im in a busy inner city neighbourhood in afternoon peak hour. 4 way intersection, iv turned left, and gotten jammed because it was a real narrow single lane street. Well theres cars parked along one side, and a bloody delivery truck stopped on the other. Theres no way I can get a full sized sedan through that hole.
Anyway, within a few minutes, the lights have changed, and its bedlam man. The whole intersection is in gridlock, theres about a dozen taxi's behind me, cars, trucks, everyone is bipping thier horns, im sitting in the car, there was nothing I could do. To them it might have looked like there was room but there wasnt.
Anyway so im starting to get pretty annoyed, and then the cabbie behind me starts yelling at me saying "whats the matter with you theres room go go go".
I lost my temper, got out of the car went to his window, and start abusing him, he half rolls up his window and shouts back at me :lol:
Then the delivery drivers show up and they get involved, before you know it theres about half a dozen people screaming at each other and blaming each other, probably a hundred cars in gridlock by now, the intersection completely jammed, and everyone bipping thier horns, all because of me :lol:
Anyway the idiots moved thier truck, I got to the job interview on time, and ended up getting it too.
