How do I stop worrying about this?
I was downtown in my small town yesterday running an errand and I parallel parked. I have a new car so I'm not used to the backup camera. When I left I reversed a little and got freaked because it looked like the dotted lines were on the car behind me. I put on my brakes and jerked myself.
My husband was with me and was like "what r you doing you're not even close to that car" but I've convinced myself I hit it because of the jerking motion I felt.
I have a 2019 Honda CR-V and the lines were orange. I thought that meant close but someone said it means you're crooked. There's no damage on my car but I'm worried there could be damage to the other car if I hit it! I wish I got out to check but in the moment I trusted my husband that I still had room and I left. I'm worried I was going fast since I jerked a bit, too.
My husband said he would have told me if I did but I've convinced myself he wouldn't because he wouldn't want me in trouble. He says that's not true.
How do I get over this?! I was going to call the police but don't want to be crazy. I texted someone I know that has a connection to the police department to ask.
I'm the type of person that will wait in a parking lot for another driver to come back if I tap another car with my door so this is really stressing me out!
I have my baby shower this weekend and I'm afraid I'll ruin it because I can't get over this! What do I do?
Park somewhere in front of a wall. Back up to some point on the lines. Get out and look how close you are. Repeat as needed as you get closer and closer.until you are comfortable with how close you are for the various lines in the camera.
If you hit something, you should feel it.
Maybe you should pray instead of worrying
You stop worrying by realizing that your worries are not justified. Hitting someone doesn't feel like the 'jerking' you felt, it's feels like a collision. Are you normally this anxious?
- Sometimes the car does not stop when I brake but it feels like it's hard to stop, is this a rotor issue I'm afraid I will rear end someone? It happens every once a while I'll press the brakes and it won't stop like a jumpy feeling is this rotorsrelated? 2001 Honda Passport
- How to stop vocal advertisements that i can't see? Every time I read the news I start hearing an advertisement for Honda yet I can't see anything to click it off.
- Every time I stop to get gas in my 2003 Honda element, it has trouble starting? My car recently had a completely new engine put in and now when I get gas it takes a few tries to get it started. So I put a new battery in and now I have to put my foot on the gas pedal while starting it for it to start. But it's only when I stop to get gas this happens. Every time other than that it starts just fine, no problem at all. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
- When did Honda stop making their easy to steal Models? I'm looking at and choosing between a 2003 Honda Civic 2 door coupe with 150k, and a 2002 Toyota Celica with 169k. I know most people would go for the Civic, but I don't want to end up as one of those people who loses their car due to an easy break in. So please, should I invest in the Civic or move on to getting something else.
