I am afraid of rash driving..

Did I tell you about the travel to Noida to meet my cousin..

It was a nice Sunday morning and we started getting ready for leaving the house by 10.. As we started off, I knew its gonna be hard.. Why?

Well, I knew I won't be able to handle it and thus had packed the newspaper and my headphone to listen to music and read while we were on the move.. I like travelling but rash driving makes me mad.. I just can't stay calm and relaxed when the vehicle is running at great speed and in a zig-zag manner..

My Dad can be categorized as a rash driver.. He drives at a great speed and also takes very sharp turns.. I have these panic attacks, these anxiety attacks!! I can take a ride on all the various rides in an amusement park without sweating my palms but a ride in my Dad's car makes me sweat and have increased heartbeat!! I feel anxious and I start praying to lord that I step out of the car with my entire family unhurt!! This is the extent of anxiety I experience..

So in the morning as our car was speeding on the highway, I asked my father to drive a bit slow, or at least not that recklessly, but it was of no good help!! In the end, I took out my headphones and let the music blare into my ears.. As I reached our destination, I almost forgot about the journey till here.. But, I was to go through it all over again!! I just don't know why he is such a bad driver.. I was praying all the time, I was inside the car and I was crying.. I wished I never get in this situation again..

Back home I discussed it with dad.. OK, I was a bit harsh with my words and we fought over it..

But, the next day I woke up and we were ready to talk about it and I wish he drives a bit more cautiously the next time we go out together..
