How do I get over my highway/interstate driving anxiety?

My driving instructor was actually really good. But there was so much traffic and I was so anxious the whole time. It was supposed to make it easier for for me, sort of break the ice, but instead it made me more anxious.

Drive in the rightmost lane initially…if you’re in the US. That’s the slowest lane so you can rest assured that you are safer in that lane…especially since you don’t have to look over your shoulder to change lanes n drive at 70 mph

@Vivaci But you have to get over and get back every time someone merges on to the expressway. Changing lanes to let them in always causes me lots of anxiety.
