Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I'm a very nervous driver and on the motorway even more so.
I can't seem to trust myself to make the right decisions, even though I'm sure I'm capable of them.
I live in Newcastle and the roads are always so busy.

my main concern of the motor way is changing lanes so for example if I was in the left lane and wanted to move other to the centre lane. what happens if the traffic in the right lane is busy. I seem to think I would have a conflict if I moved into the centre lane at the same time a car does from the right lane.

I just can't get my head around how to deal with this situation and it's putting me off motorway driving, as to me I never feel like there is a good time to pull out and overtake.

any tips or comments would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I'm just finding it very stressful at the moment as I've seen two cars nearly collide becasue of what I've described and triggered son anxiety.

The slip road and the lane changing scares me so much because. One chance and that's it. You blow it, fatality is almost certain at those speeds. I feel like I'm risking my life
