I was driving at night through a forested area. My radio started making strange static noises and then went completely dead. At the same time, I noticed a pair of glowing eyes in the woods beside the road. As I drove on, they seemed to keep up with me. I sped up but they were still there. Eventually, I got out of that stretch of road and the eyes disappeared. It was so terrifying that I could barely focus on driving.
There was this night when I was driving alone on a back road. The moon was full but the road was really dark. All of a sudden, I heard a loud banging on the side of my car. It sounded like someone was hitting it with a big stick. I looked out but couldn't see anything. The banging continued for a while and then stopped. I was so scared that I drove as fast as I could to the nearest town.
I once was driving at night on a lonely country road. Out of nowhere, a deer ran across the road. I swerved to avoid it and ended up in a ditch. As I was trying to get out of the car to see the damage, I heard a howling sound that didn't sound like any normal animal. I quickly got back in the car and locked the doors. I sat there for what felt like hours until finally, a passing truck stopped and helped me out. But that howling still haunts me.
One of my first - time driving horror stories was when I was driving on a narrow mountain road. I misjudged a turn and almost went off the edge. It was terrifying. I slammed on the brakes just in time and my heart was pounding like crazy.
Well, my first driving lesson horror story was when I hit the curb really hard. I was so nervous that I misjudged the turn. The sound was awful and I thought I'd broken the car. My instructor just sighed deeply.
Well, there was this family. On Christmas, they invited a distant relative to stay with them. The relative seemed a bit off from the start. During the Christmas dinner, he started telling really dark and disturbing stories about the family's past that no one knew. It made everyone so uncomfortable, and it was like a horror story was unfolding right at the dinner table. He had done some research on the family's history and was using it to spook them. It completely ruined their Christmas spirit that year.
My first time driving alone was terrifying. I kept double - checking everything. I was so worried about getting lost even though I was just driving to a nearby store. Every little noise the car made had me on edge. But when I finally reached my destination safely, I felt a huge sense of accomplishment.
I once failed my driving test because I got so nervous that I completely forgot how to parallel park. It was a total disaster. I was shaking and just couldn't do it right, even though I had practiced it many times before.
There could be an unmarked car that starts following you without any headlights on. Every time you speed up, it speeds up too. As you try to lose it, you take a wrong turn into a desolate area and your car suddenly stalls. The feeling of being trapped with that unknown car nearby is truly terrifying.
One time I was driving on the highway at night. Suddenly, a deer jumped out right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and narrowly missed it. My heart was pounding so hard. It was really scary as it came out of nowhere.
One common element is strange noises. It could be unexplained bangs on the car, like something hitting it from outside, or screeching sounds that seem to come from nowhere. Another is seeing things that aren't really there or at least seem very strange, such as shadowy figures running across the road.
I once stalled my car at a busy intersection on my first day. All the cars behind me were honking and I was so flustered. I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first. Finally, I realized I had let the clutch out too quickly. It was really embarrassing.
