This is natural. You should be fearful of this, since it's dangerous. The key is to be aware constantly of the traffic around you. Check all your mirrors before you start your move, taking care to note where all the surrounding cars are and how far away they are. Don't start your lane change at the last possible minute, give yourself plenty of time. Signal, look over your shoulder, accelerate, and turn when it's safe. Some keys to watch for are: keep a safe distance from the car in front of you so you don't rearend anyone while your changing lanes, don't just look in the next lane, look in the lane adjacent to that lane also, ease slowly into the lane, so that you can move back safely if another car closes the lane up before you can complete your maneuver, and make sure you're going fast enough to drive in the next lane. If you're going faster than the cars in that lane and the one next to it, you shouldn't have any problems switching lanes.



The real key is to practice more. Get comfortable on the highway in your own lane, practice lane changes on two lane highways, then move up to three lane highways.



Usually, every lane gets to where you want to go. Take your time, leave plenty of time and space to make your move, and be safe.Fearful when changing lane, how to overcome it?
I wasn't very confident with this when I just started driving but the most important thing my instructor taught me was:



Indicate your intentions to the other motorists first by indicating. A common mistake I see people make is to first do a head check and get ready for the lane change, then when there's a gap throw the indicator on (indicating for one second) and change lanes.



The proper way to do it is to start indicating before you even head check, because you're letting the other drivers know that you want to change lanes. This will also help to get you in the other lane if it's busy because you're forcing them to make a decision; either accelerate to get in front or back off to let you in. It will also let people who want to change lanes as well as you know that you're in the process of doing it so they will very likely wait until you do it, then do it themselves.



Remember - the indicators are used for indicating.
Never assume anything and when changing lanes check and recheck before doing anything.......with time you will understand this and it will become a natural thing that you will do...
Driving is dangerious look twice proceed once to lane change. Being fearful you make other mistakes like signaling and not going ahead with the lane change out of fear. I reccomend a driving school ';the drivers edge dot com'; Or a car control school Bob Bonderaunt Or others get over the fear of driving by learining the limits of adheasion and how to control a slide or loss of control it is fun and the lessons you will learn may save your life and others.
you can't worry about everything that possibly could happen. what you need to do is be aware of everything around you then when you make this lane change do it gradually and pay close attention to the vehicle in the other lane. Good driving is not cut and dried, black and white it is just using common sense%26lt;
