drive on the highway

I’m comfortable going on one particular highway from one particular exit. It’s an easy on-ramp and it doesn’t get too crowded. My boyfriend made me drive on a more busy highway one night and that was a bit scary. If he takes me a few more times, I’d like to think that I will be good to go on that one by myself also.

I live in New York City so the highways tend to be very packed with lots of cars and trucks. I went on the highway one time with my driving instructor but ever since I got my license in November 08, I haven’t had the guts to get on. I really want to be comfortable with the highway so I can go to the beach over the summer – and to the mall! – but it seems so scary! It’s mainly merging onto the highway that freaks me out… and possibly getting lost…
