That is true. When I first started driving I would often get so freaked out I would break out in a cold sweat. When I got on the elevated road I would worry about getting rear-ended, and when I got off I would worry I was going to hit someone. Some people don’t even look to see if there's a crosswalk when they cross the street and don't pay attention to traffic lights; if they want to cross, they just cross. I nearly hit an elderly person once. I was so scared that I couldn’t even touch a steering wheel for a week.
