1. Start by driving on a familiar road during off-peak hours. This will help you get a feel for the road and the traffic patterns without the added pressure of heavy traffic.
2. Gradually increase the distance you drive each time. Start by driving just a few miles and then gradually increase the distance as you get more comfortable.
3. Practice changing lanes in a safe area, such as an empty parking lot. This will help you get used to the feeling of changing lanes and will make it easier to do so on the road.
4. Use your mirrors and signals frequently to be aware of the traffic around you. This will help you make safe lane changes and avoid accidents.
5. Drive at a speed that you are comfortable with. Don't feel pressured to drive faster than you feel safe.
6. Take breaks when you need them. If you start to feel overwhelmed or anxious, pull over to the side of the road and take a few minutes to relax.
Here are some additional tips that may help:
* Focus on the road and the traffic around you, rather than on your fear.
* Relax and breathe deeply.
* Remind yourself that you are capable of driving on a 4-lane road.
* If you start to feel overwhelmed, pull over to the side of the road and take a few minutes to relax.
* Don't be afraid to ask for help from a friend, family member, or driving instructor.
With practice, you should be able to overcome your fear of driving on a 4-lane road.
