15 years of stress at the wheel: my road to recovery

Fifteen years ago, I had a traumatic experience on the motorway which put me in a state of deep anxiety everytime i went on the motorway. I tried seeing more than one psychologist, I pushed myself to face again the motorway on Sudays when it was calmer, but alas though I may have managed small distances, I was petrified, hyperventilating, eyes dilating and waiting for an accident to happen...

Mr Koentges explained to me that many people actually get sucha trauma, but they also manage to overcome it with the right advice. After the first lesson with Mr Koentges, I already realised a number of mistakes in my driving which caused my confidence to abate. Correcting these mistakes, already helped me feel more in control of what I was doing. Getting to know better one's own car also helps a lot. By the second session, I had already gaining speed in my driving and I could scan further the motorway with much less fear. By the third lesson, I was driving at a regular speed, in flow with the rest of the traffic, while I was being prudent. Practice is of course essential and I need to keep it up. However, reviewing well the highway code, correcting one's misconceptions and getting to know better one's car - what Mr Koentges offers to his students already in the first lesson, is a huge step forward to more confident and correct driving. After a few lessons, guarding preciously Mr Koentges' advice and positive attitude, I have gained back so much autonomy. I can now drive safely my children to visit other towns and cities. I highly recommend Mr Koentges' lessons.

A big thank you indeed.
