There are just too many factors that could go wrong. I might be able to eliminate the few factors that I can control (my alertness, my driving skills, etc) but everything else is beyond me. There is just too many factors that I am unable to take charge and say, 'Okay, here is how it goes'. All I can do is believe that the other drivers will take care of other drivers on the road. All I can do is trust them for a few seconds that they are not trying to kill me or turn the road into a dangerous track of doom.
My dad kept telling me to relax while driving. Well, Dad, how can I relax when I am constantly badgered by the thought that I might kill someone with a wrong move from my side? How? How do you people drive around like it's the easiest thing in the world?

Woman. I totally hear you. It's way too much responsibility and one I don't think I want all that much. I don't know ppl do - in fact, I've watched friends, parents, colleagues, classmates do it, and a lot of them (especially classmates & younger colleagues) just treat it in this blase way and don't seem to realize how reckless they're being. (Maybe only a little - but they're still DOING it.)
RIGHT? I really don't know how they can be so reckless when lives are at stake here! It's crazy. I thought I was the only one who is overanalyzing this because no one seem to share the same kind of feelings I have for driving.
