For some reason I’ve started to get nervous on car journeys! I’m better if I’m driving but not so good as a passenger! Any tips please!!

You're not alone! There was a whole thread on this recently, will try and find it 🙂

I'm the same, I never was like this when I was younger and didn't drive.

I was always a worse passenger than I am a driver. I still don’t look forward to long car journeys, especially in cars where there is restricted leg room in then back, such as the one my SiL drives now.

I love having someone to drive me. I used to prefer driver than passenger, but over the years I've got used to it.
I worry when I'm driving. My hearing's very bad & I know DH picks up on rattles & noises that I can't hear, anyone flashes their lights (not neccessarily at me) & I think something's hanging off my car.
Having said that I've just done a solo journey of 190 miles involving M25 that's entirely new to me & having done it without incident I'm feeling more confident.

I do love the train best though.
