Why is getting on the freeway a fear of mine? Well, Welcome to the Bay Area, here you’ll see the best and worst drivers. My biggest fear was getting on the freeway, because some of the drivers have insane road-rage. While on the other hand, some people are decent drivers and have very minimal road-rage. Getting on the freeway was a fear of mine, because i’ve seen so many accidents with merging that made me fear the freeway.

So the person who stopped for me, and the person behind me were both honking at me. Then, me being the weird person I am, gassed off and got on to the freeway safely. After that day, I didn't get on the freeway until I learned how to merge properly. Today, I can get on the freeway no problem, car or no car. I’m fine with merging on the freeway if someone asked me to. With all the education I received, I learned how to adjust my mirrors, where my blind spots were, and how to merge properly. I’ve also received drivers education, drivers training, and my junior permit, and my
