I came to this video today because I just had a car accident and feel ashamed. I’m writing this comment to remind anyone involved in a car accident that accidents happen and teach us to do better. It’s ok to feel sad, angry and ashamed, but don’t let it stop you from driving. Let’s be real : driving is a complex task that requires experience, theory, focus and knowledge of the ruled on the road. The more we practice, the better we will become and sometimes, an accident needs to happen in order to never do our mistake again.
I hope it helps ❤
i feel so much shame and anxiety about my accident i just never want to drive again
What hurts is the public reaction. Drive again.
I got into an accident 2-3 weeks ago, and I’ve only driven once since then. I just got back from spring break and i have to drive to school tomorrow, Im having a hard time because i have really bad anxiety and i feel at fault. You’re not alone.
I feel stupid because i had time to slow down but didn't. Probably total my moms car
@@peterprall857 same happened to me tonight when i was overtaking on a highway with steep curve and right in that lane someone put 2 big stones in the left side of lane...i had time to slow down and change but there's vehicles coming from other lane so to avoid Collison frm back by sudden braking i drove past on them at 80kmh...both of the side tyres bursted instantly...thankfully the car didn't lose control...otherwise our family of 5 would have died right there...i feeling so traumatic about that and feeling i should not drive again....it was my fault to not slow down
I understand
I got my license last week and I was so happy. Anyways I had an accident today and I am so angry with myself it’s just so discouraging,I keep thinking of what I could have done to avoid it but I panicked. It’s just so frustrating
🥺I cAn understand same thing happened vit me
@@sejalkinlekar4864 I’m sorry about that hun ,I hope you’re doing okay.
Same thing happened to me, except it was a month after i got it :(
Happened to me a week after I got my license and on the day I got my first car :(
it happened to me the hour I could my license :(
Had an accident yesterday. I was just starting to feel comfortable behind the wheel. Now I’m back at square one. I lost all my confidence, and I’m so scared behind the wheel.
i feel that sm
Me too it kills me that so much progress on your driving confidence can go down the drain that quickly
Exactly what I feel now😢
@@trissakazel9483 I forgot I even made this comment. I just want to offer some sort of encouragement. It definitely gets better. I realized that there’s tons of terrible drivers, but they have the courage to drive.
I was afraid of the highway and the roads in general, but in January I decided to just face it. I took a couple more driving courses and got back on the road. You’ve got this!!! The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll feel behind the wheel.
Same 😢😢😢
I’m 27 years old and yesterday I had a car accident. But nothing happened to me. God saved my life.
I got in an accident a couple of weeks ago. I recently got my license about 3 months ago and I was driving my brothers car at that time. It was 100% my fault and I rear ended the car in front of me. I still feel so anxious knowing that soon I have to go to college and I have to drive, but I just can’t trust myself again to drive. It’s even worse that most people in my family (except my dad) have never gotten into an accident. I just feel so embarrassed that I made such a stupid mistake and that I wasn’t paying attention for one minute
ik it's too late but dw you're not alone I did it today itself my father was too embarrassed
@@janhviverma8492I know this is also late but same happened to me so you have any advice to move past it? I feel ashamed and embarrassed worst part is it was a close friends car I scrapped up by accident 😞
Hi, I know exactly how you feel same thing happened to me yesterday and all I can think about is just what happened it is emotionally and mentally exhausting to be stuck in this situation and to think back at it, and I’m really glad I found someone to relate to I’ve been a constant mess and I just don’t know how I can function anymore or even interact with people because inside I just feel that no one can relate or everyone would judge me physically I just have the energy to be around people. I’m so sorry you went through this and hope you’re recovered or are recovering mentally and physically.
I’m 17 and I’m still learning how to drive, I had an accident yesterday and now I’m hesitant about driving again
@Nemarik Iseed yeah it’s so hard after something like that happens but don’t let that stop you from driving just take it easy and gradually you’ll get the hang of it. You got this!
Yess 🤦🏾♀️
I'm 19 and I got into an accident last week and I was too hesitant now to drive. I can't even take the scent of the car. I tried driving again, and it feels like driving the first time all over again. Its like I lost knowledge about driving. I was anxious and don't have the right visions when to stop or how wide our car on the road.
Same
Same thing happened with me. Learning to drive a car and then I bumped into another car. No one was hurt but still I had to bear loss of ₹25k. Now I don't think I will try to learn again soon.
I had a wreck back in August and I feel like I have to relearn everything, I don’t trust myself,
I had a car accident 3 months ago. Thank you man, I really needed this advice.
Goku is the best
My first year of driving and I have been in two crashes within two months of each other. Both my fault. I need to maintain my good driving ALL THE TIME. It’s only one mistake that is so damaging and expensive.
Got rear ended 4 days ago totaled my car. Today I drove again. Just city streets, not yet freeway. I was nervous but made myself drive if even for a little bit. One errand. I know the only way my subconscious is ever going to be on board is if I show myself it’s safe to drive by doing it. I knew that if I kept waiting too scared to drive it won’t ever get better. I just pushed through. You can do it. Take it slow. I believe in you!
I'm going to try tomorrow.
I was in car accident yesterday. I really needed to hear this. Thanks bro
im 15 and got in a wreck a few months ago, car completely flipped over twice. my dad was driving and has a bad habit of not buckling his seatbelt. i noticed and told him to put it on. 5 minutes later we got in a 4 car wreck. i lose sleep every night over wondering where life would be if he hadn’t. i literally have nobody else. im scared of cars, scared of my loved ones driving. im at a loss and don’t know what to do
Please see a therapist, a good one you can trust. They help lots of people get their lives back together. Lots of love🙏💛, hope you get better
Suffice to say, you had good luck. Something told you to remind him to wear it, and from now on, I’m absolutely sure he will be :) be glad that the worst didn’t happen ❤️
I got rear-ended about two weeks ago. So terrified to drive. I did manage to drive on the highway and felt ok. I was doing the speed limit, but people were going around me. So I just kept at the limit and felt ok. Great video.
i’m sorry to hear that. i feel like getting into a crash when it’s another persons fault is almost worse bc it’s hard to drive when you’re constantly worried about what someone else is gonna do. i got into a crash (it was the other persons fault) about a month ago and i’ve barely driven since bc i’m so nervous someone’s gonna hit me again
Yes same here, someone rear ended me while I was sitting at a red light, they were going 55mph and pushed me into oncoming traffic, i tried driving on the highway and everyone kept passing me and I was driving the minimum speed limit, I don’t know what to do my anxiety is so bad
This guy taught me how to drive 4 years ago and now I'm back again after my second accident.
I had my accident yesterday, it's tough
Yes yes it is
Mine was today,yes it is
@@Olaaaaa10 keep your head up it will get better
yesterday this dude pulled out it front of me and i ran into him and now i'm really scared to drive again... it's wasn't that bad we were both fine but they're gonna total my car and i don't want to total another
I was in a car accident this morning a hgv bumped to my car. It was not my fault. He underestimated the space to overtake. Im still shaking.
Love your ' hey everyyyyybaaaady ' don't ever stop saying it
i got into an accident last week and my car was totaled. it wasn't my fault, car turned in front of me and now my issue isn't really trusting myself but its trusting the many other cars that drive by me. after the accident its just crazy to me how we trust other cars with our lives to not hit us
Completely agree. My accident was yesterday and I'm pretty shook.
Yes this is exactly what I needed I got in a car accident in 2015 and the car flipped like 6 times and cars kept coming because they couldn’t see us it was so foggy and after that day I’ve just been scared to learn how to drive :( I’m 20 and don’t even know how
So sorry you experienced that😟. I know that was traumatizing
Also 20, stay strong mate...
I crashed my car into a truck today. Was important to watch the video. Thanks it was helpful.
I ran through a red light I didn’t realize it, and now my car is totaled. I felt like such an asshole everyone is okay though.
Thanks . I need to rebuild my confidence! I just had accident likely doe to my fault .
I am a Brit living in Thailand. I got my license 4 months ago. I've had 4 minor accidents (One was a wall - of course it was the wall's fault! ;-) ) I lost muy confidence to a greater or lesser extent after every accident, even though my Thai friends and relatives take the view that accidents are a part of life....... What the guy in the video says is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! You have got to get back out there and start driving again ASAP. I also agree that it's a good idea to start with known, low challenge routes and then work your way up. Good video mate! Now going to watch a couple of vidoes on defensive driving techniques.
I’m 22 and have major driving anxiety. This isn’t only embarrassing that I don’t have a license but inconvenient since I live in the suburbs. I failed my road test the first time and once got a fender bender and another time a flat tire. I was starting to make progress until the pandemic happened and I haven’t been able to make progress since. Any advice on overcoming this fear and becoming a safe, responsible driver would be super appreciated.
I feel so ashamed … i had two accidents in less than 2 years. My first wasn’t my fault but there were no proof or witnesses so my insurance company had to pay for my totaled car, and price went up. Second one was two weeks ago, this time it was my fault and I don’t know if my car will get fixed or not at this moment. I’m the only one in my family who got into many accidents and now i feel so ashamed of myself. Not only accidents but also have flattened my tire and accidentally scratched my in-laws car and etc… 😩😭
Just got out from a accident today..And it was my mom's new car..God saved me but this trauma has built for the second time
You have such an amazing mindset
I've just had my first driving accident yesterday, I don't feel great about myself
I took an Uber 4 years ago & the driver slept while driving, our car hit the side lane simply crashing, thankfully we did not get hurt but it caused a huge trauma. I was literally shaking. I am soo afraid to drive.. I am still learning
I was in two car accidents back in March (one last year when I was a passenger and one this year while I was driving through an intersection) & ever since the 2nd one I’ve had anxiety about driving. I don’t want to get into another car accident and I get very nervous around intersections and other cars, even if I’m not the one driving. I know I have to get back behind the wheel and build my confidence back up but I’m scared.
I was sitting at the traffic light waiting for it to change when an 18 wheeler slammed into the side of my vehicle totaling it. This happened last year January. I still have anxiety while driving especially near 18 wheelers.
Are you okay?
@@crysdee4611:47 yes thankfully. But life isn’t the same. Lifetime of aches and pain.
Yes same here, a truck rear ended me while I was sitting at a red light, they were going 55mph and pushed me into oncoming traffic, i tried driving on the highway and everyone kept passing me and I was driving the minimum speed limit, I don’t know what to do my anxiety is so bad
@@DonyaParsa so sorry to hear that. I still have anxiety while driving every now and then.
@@soulofawoman2269 how do you cope and get through it?
I love this guys energy. Typing this while driving and watching this video. Feeling confident!
I have exactly what you describe at 2:22, I was rear ended at 50kmph whilst stationary at a traffic light by some knob who apparently didn’t see the light was on red and failed to slow down in time. Now I’m constantly checking my rear view mirror and paranoid about what’s behind me. I will try your advice hope it works!
I had a car accident couple of days ago. I feel like that I can’t drive a car again.
I use to be a super confident driver I had some close calls and I learned from them I got very comfortable driving over the speed limit excessively my accident happened because I was following too closely and not paying as much attention to the car in front of me They break checked me and I have been off the road for a whole year now I’m getting back into it but I have to drive to work and commute through very packed and aggressive ATL traffic
I needed this. Thank you 😭💘
I got in a minor fender bender accident one month after having my license and I’m so anxious to start driving again 😭😭😭
I got into 2 car Accidents totaling both cars within three months, first accident the other driver was 100% at fault but still it scared me to death, I guess I tried driving too soon with still so much anxiety and then totaled my moms car and I’m sure it was my fault I feel so embarrassed but mostly guilty.
I feel you girl… i also had two accidents in less than 2 years. My first wasn’t my fault but there were no proof or witnesses so my insurance company had to pay for my totaled car, and price went up. Second one was two weeks ago, this time it was my fault and I don’t know if my car will get fixed or not at this moment. I’m the only one in my family who got into many accidents and now i feel so ashamed of myself. Not only accidents but also have flattened my tire and accidentally scratched my in-laws car and etc… 😩😭
I had a crash about a month ago and I’ve been absolutely fucking terrified of the thought of driving, thanks for this.
A reckless driver caused me to crash in the highway. It was so scary and now my heart races everytime im on the highway.. he drove away too
thanks a lot for this, it helped, I didn't crash, but it was close and this helped me regain my confidence
thank you so much. I really really needed this video
I was in an accident when I was 11 and then another one a few months ago, 3 months after getting my permit (was not driving either time lol). I’m about to be 18, and I’m genuinely afraid to be on the road. But I’m trying hard to push past the fear that fills my mind when I get behind the wheel.
I’m 17 and had a accident 2 days ago and it was my fault and I’m scared but I have too
@Makayla J .. were you able to drive again? How did you get out of your fear? I'm 21 and had an accident yesterday it was my fault, right now m thinking that I don't know how to stop a car anymore like speed scares me so much...idk how to drive again.
I had an accident 3 weeks ago I need to know how to visualise for now as passenger to have a pleasant trip whether it's short or a long trip. Ty
I caused a car accident 2 days ago. I’m not necessarily having confidence issues. I just feel horribly guilt and ashamed. I’m having a hard time forgiving myself. My mom paid $13k for my car. We spent like 2 months getting it because we had car salesman problems. I crash the damn thing not even 5 months later. The car is mostly likely not fixable. I don’t know how to come back from this.
I had a close call earlier today...ended up going right through a yield sign not even paying attention to the road. I remember seeing the ladies face, just panic and anger.
I probably traumatized her because she almost hit me. I feel so stupid now and dont think I should drive anymore because I dont want to hurt others. I've had a couple close calls before this, luckily no accidents.
I've learned from my mistakes though, and am striving to pay attention and focus much more while driving in order to avoid this.
Earlier today I drove into the house while the gate was locked then the car barged in the house and the gate got damaged no one got hurt but thanks man
Had a car accident yesterday been given two tickets and I’m traumatized to go near one street away from my house. But I guess I’m gonna have to keep going.
I had my first accident today. It was very minor. The other driver was 100 % at fault. After the collision for like 30 minutes I was shocked at how did the other driver made that mistake. However I know I did the best that could have been done to minimize the damages and to be honest I haven't lost one bit of my driving confidence really.
Hey man I’m in the same situation. The other day I got into an accident that 100% was not my fault. The other drive pulled out in front of me and I didn’t have enough time to stop. Even though it wasn’t my fault I’m very nervous to get back behind there. How was it when you first got back behind there?
@@slenda704 It had absolutely no impact on me. First because I knew I had absolutely no fault and secondly I have come to fully accept that being on the road it always involves the probability of someone making a mistake so grave it ends your life no matter how skilled you think you are. But if you watch closely there is risk everywhere even if you don't drive but we voluntarily accept to move on. So hop in the car and get on the road as soon as possible this is my advice to you my friend.
i had a car accident today, technically it wasn't my fault. It was not a big one thank God. But I Had a horrible pánick attack and cried for hours. Im scared of messing up again. Especially in Puerto Rico , here people drive so so bad
I had already 2 accidents
1st accident when I was 8 years old
I started to drive scooty so young that I speeded up and hit the damn wall
I got my right leg injured.
2nd accident happened today
Now I am 16, I was driving to the wide area(safe) and then this man turned his scooty from nowhere and it hit my scooty. Surely its his mistake becoz he turned without using an intigator in the start . He used the intigator so suddenly. And boy if this was a case surely I would be punished becoz I am under aged to drive. But mistakes makes you a better man.
Now I will drive more defensively
More slowly and carefully
But mistakes makes you a better man
My dad crashed into a non moving car and now I’m traumatised I still can’t get over it 😭😭😭😭😭
this video helped so much thank you
Was rear ended back in October and very scared
I got in an accident yesterday and now I'm not so sure about driving again. 🤖
I'm in the exact same boat brother had an accident yesterday after work and now my confidence is non existent
@@stephanopapadimitriou4789 I'm sorry man, that sucks... I started driving again last month.. I still have PSD .. It doesn't get better, we just need to be brave.
But take your time before you drive again. If you're done with driving that's okay too. 🐈🇿🇦
@@stephanopapadimitriou4789 I'm sorry man, that sucks... I started driving again last month.. I still have Post Trauma of the incident .. It doesn't get better, we just need to be brave.
But take your time before you drive again. If you're done with driving that's okay too. 🐈🇿🇦
@@SnailTaless ah you’re also from South Africa. I just got into an accident yesterday and now I really needed this. Also driving on South African roads can be quite nerve wrecking so now I need to rebuild my confidence
@@dimensia6942 yeah it's a lot.. Good luck 🍀
Today I had a car accident.I'm fine, thank God, but how ridiculous the accident is makes me laugh. I'm a beginner, i've been driving for only 4 months it's a shame cause I crashed into my father's parked car ,i was trying my best to make my driving better, i went out today to practice by myself, but I crashed, and here we are. I'm trying to get over my shock. I haven't been able to eat since then, and I can't sleep either. I feel like everyone is judging my driving, how embarrassed I am. My father is very angry with me and is going to fix the car, but he prevented me from driving, and I don't blame him. Honestly, he tells me that I'm stupid and can't do it😓💔
Hi Helpful DIY been watching your Channel everyday it has been very helpful. Can you do more videos on parking near curbs and knowing distances from other cars so you don’t hit them front and rear. Also parallel parking. Thank You.
Bumped into a van today. He was delivering parcels, so the back of the van was sticking out. I saw it, and moved to the middle of the road to go around, but a car on the other side was coming and didn’t seem to be slowing down. Turned to give them room and went right into the back of the van. Its so annoying. Was my fault, but if he’d been parked properly I’d of had plenty of room. No damage to his van, but my car got damaged. Haven’t even passed my test yet, and now I don’t want to. Still got a month before the test date, so maybe by then I’ll be comfortable again.
I feel so bad I scrapped the side of my friends car the other day. I can’t live with this guilt 😢
i know the feeling, today i took my girlfriend to her house and i was in neutral rolling backwards so i could park out of the gateway. I was talking to my girlfriend so i didnt pay attention to my left mirror and even tho i went like 1km/h i scratched my and another person car. i feel shit
@@marteen4797hey I just wanted to let you know it’s okay bro, we all make mistakes no doubt in that but we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t. This is 3 weeks later and I still feel like shit to but yknow what it’s all in the past now we can’t change it but we can move forward. time will pass, don’t dwell on it move on and keep ur head lifted up I hope ur doing good, accidents happen :)
I was just in an accident, and it’s due to me losing control of my vehicle. I’m terrified to drive on the highway again, I don’t know why I feel like I’m just going to immediately end up in another accident ;-;
Thanks brother
just recently got into a car accident, I feel scared to drive again. i never want to drive again it was my second accident and im only 24 years old.
Literally when I drove home after my accident a truck tailgated me bc I was driving careful and tried to run me off the road, then the same thing happened the same night of on the way home again... I think I will take a break
Thank you
I had two (luckily minor) accidents in the past which still make me scared. I was starting to make some progress again until the pandemic happened. Any advice?
Bruh I was fine after my accident, until using a different car a branch knocked off my mirror in a being tailgated, blind turn, can't see other lane, no win situation. That's what put my confidence in the gutter since the first time my steering went bad and forced me into a guard rail and bounced me into an oncoming truck. My luck just sucks
I wasn't even in my car when it happened and it wasn't my fault, but when I drove again it felt weird and I didn't like it. I don't think I even need a new car at this point.
Im 17 and got my license a month ago and today i was going to Publix with my friend after the gym and didn’t pay attention and crashed my moms car i feel like I betrayed their trust even though they told me that i mattered the most i don’t wanna drive anymore I destroyed her car. Gladly my friends are ok.
I’m 18 I accidentally damaged my friends car a few days ago while parking. Do you have any advice on moving past it?
Very helpful
I scrapped my wall reversing out on ice and the bumper came off. It was cosmetic damage only luckily as I skidded but I’m so scared to drive incase anything happens again
Thanks 💯👍🏾
I just had a bad car accident months ago airbags deployed car spun I haven’t driven much since terrible 😳
I almost hit a car while driving with my friend and now my whole CC team knows and talks about it
Im watching this because i got into a motorbike accident because someone pulled out on me and now i hate every junction on the road
Yesterday was my birthday and now i am 16 but last year i had an accident after that i am even riding worst because i am so afraid of accidents because of that fear i cant drive
Here's some tips for beating the fear of driving
1) Take control of your life.
2) Learn about the power of your mind.
3) Walk in in the tracks of people who have already overcome the fear.
I discovered these tips from the Roys Quick Fix (check it out on google) definately the best course on success that I have ever seen.
Are you the little brother of Billy Mayes? Anyway, thanks for the tips 😊
Just had mine at 2 hours ago, it wasnt too serious i was like 15 20 going backwards and ended up hiting a signal
Last summer I had a very terrible accident on the highway. I was alone in the car and the traffic in front of me stopped so when I got very close I broke super hard and someone from behind crashed into me. I was lucky I didn’t get hurt but I got a minor concussion after the accident. My city driving is fine but on the highway I am always told to drive up to 100km/h which is what my dad told me but I’m still scared. Any thoughts of what I could do if I drive during difficult driving situations?
Why do bumps tense me up I use to love driving but I had a bad panic attack and didn’t realize cause it didn’t feel like it cause I’ve had previous ones but it happen months ago and now when I drive I feel very tense hitting bumps a lot of the time
Just got my license earlier this week and today I was turning and someone ran a red light and totaled my car
crashed my cadillac dts 💔💔

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about driving anxiety try Sovallo Fearless Driver Fixer (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
