I had my first near death experience yesterday and I’m so nervous to drive on that road again. My guardian angels were definitely looking out for me.

on january 26, 2022, i almost got into a 100mph head on collision that would’ve certainly ended my life i was driving ~50mph down this one road to a dentists office, there were 3 cars opposite of me in the other lane, and a fourth car tried to skip those three cars (thus getting into my lane) and came within a few inches of hitting my car front on she crashed in a field and a pole shot through her windshield. it was only a few inches from her head. none of us were injured but that was the

closest i had ever come to dying. once it was over and i was parked, i burst out laughing because i didn’t know how to process this situation. i couldn’t conceive how i wasn’t dead. i still have some driving anxiety to this day, but it does get better. i think it does help you remind yourself that you’re not invincible, but knowing the statistical absurdity of it all can help

My situation was very similar!!! They came up flying behind me and mind you I was already going 20 over the limit on the highway to keep up with traffic so I wasn’t the one holding it up and the two sedans behind me were racing each other and the one came up really close behind me like stg inches away from my bumper and almost rear ended me, got around me, and then cut mad close in front of my friends to get off an exit and almost took them off the road too.

And mind u this is during rush hour and they’re racing around cars as if this is GTA and then when we got more into town they kept doing it even though traffic was WAY heavier in town than it was on the boulevard and it wasn’t a situation where u can call the cops bc it happened so fast and the plates weren’t even visible on either car

it does get better. i don’t believe in fate or guardian angels, i think my case was purely luck in itself, but you’re going to have driving anxiety for a bit. that is NORMAL, trust me. if you can, try to pace yourself with smaller roads (e.g. backroads), and then scale yourself up to freeways/interstates. your body and your mind needs time to readjust and get comfortable behind the wheel again. it’s a process, but you can do it 🫶

it still spooks me whenever i go on that road, honestly. i mean i don’t live in that state anymore, but my dad does. sometimes we’ll take it and i just get a small sense of dread. granted, it’s been 3 and a half years since, but i still have lingering driving anxiety to this day
