Babies on the Brain

Driving anxiety ladies, can I join you?

So I wrecked the car last winter going around a curve. Our tires apparently sucked, and I slid into an oncoming car. Jack was 5 months old and in the back seat.  I didn't think it really bothered me, but lately, I've been way anxious about driving. Particularly in the rain.

If it's raining too hard to be able to see very well, or if there's any standing water that I might hydroplane on, I white-knuckle it the whole way to my destination.  

I work 30 minutes away (about 15-ish miles), and it's been raining A LOT here lately.  I don't think I blinked or took a deep breath the entire way home today.

There's no real point to my posting this, I just needed to get it out.  

Batman likes to watch cartoons on the weekends. Whatever.

  • It's been a year now since my accident and I'm back to being terrified of driving in the morning because it's dark. I too white knuckle drive when there is lots of rain and standing water.

  • I have it too, night time mostly because of deer and winter.  I hit one a few years ago (minor damage).  I had a car accident almost 4 years ago in which I tried to switch lanes on an overpass to avoid a accident already there and then did a 360 hitting another car.  I had a deer run into my car on my way to work just before Christmas last year and it did quite a bit of damage. Deer=Stupid.  I'm a white knuckle 25mph winter driver who gets passed too.
