Getting lost driving and panicking!!

[Jessie1995]

Does anybody else go into complete meltdown when your route is diverted etc and you have to go a different way around without being prepared!
I have driving anxiety and today got diverted a different way, I had maps on but it’s a very confusing road with different lanes! I was following people infront then all of a sudden everybody disappeared ahah!

after I came away worrying about that whole few minutes, did I get the speed limit right- it changed from 40-20-30-40 and I was concentrating so much about lanes etc I worry I didn’t do the right speed etc

i came away from that basically in tears! 🙈

You just need to put your trust in the satnav. Imagine what it used to be like when there were just maps and roadsigns.

yes lakeside is a bugger

Yes I do too OP, i have driving anxiety and it's constant second guessing I've done everything ok after a journey. However I try to remember that for me, when I don't know where I'm going or it's confusing I slow right down, so if you're like me you'll have probably been well under the speed limit.

I also now use Waze as my sat nav and if I go wrong it really doesn't matter as it just recalculates quickly and takes me a different route. I think it depends on where you're driving but if there are other users reporting it it also warns you about loads of stuff.

waze helps me too, I have chosen a friendly voice and they keep me company driving around. It makes a wee bing! noise if I go slightly over the limit, which is great because when you're trying to find the right lane on an unfamiliar junction keeping an eye on the speed limit can be tricky.
