I twitch once in a while, yeah it's normal. But for some reason everytime I drive I always twitch, to the point that I'm closing my eyes half the time I'm on the road. I tried a google search but that didn't help.
Does anyone have an explanation to my problem?
-
What exactly do you mean by "twitch"? Do your arms, eyes, or what twitches? Is it your eyes? I get eye twitches often, well at least I used to. I don't get them much now! If you mean dozing to sleep, then try getting more sleep? I always drive better when I sleep more because I can concentrate more.

Sorry I meant eye twitching.
It's like, whenever drive acar my eyes go crazy and when I get out it's fine.
-
That is a little odd, are you nervous when you drive? Maybe the motion of the moving car is causing your eye twitching? I'd go see an optometrist, eye twitching is not good while driving!
-
Tourette's... Psyburn, you have Tourette's...
-
Yeah dude if you aren't joking or something (this seems like a troll) uh, stop driving because that is dangerous.
Yesterday I had one of those quadruple-sneezes and my eyes closed for like 2 seconds on the freeway going 80 around a turn. That was fucking scary but I couldn't even help it! It's a sneeze!!
-
Uh... I can honestly say that I've never experienced anything like that and you should probably see a doctor!

Well, I drive slow and really carefully so I've had very very few near-accident occurrences. But now that I've had my permit for 10 months I'm pretty much incident free.
-
i thought the in NJ permit was only for 6 months until your eligible for getting your drivers license unless i'm thinking wrong or you just haven't gone for the test
-

Way to keep that stereotype alive. Sorry I really couldn't resist that. :fogetnah:
Anywho...
Like Omcifer said, do you think you have some sort of nervous behavior when driving? Apart from the eye of course, I'm talking mentally. Perhaps it's a fear of getting into an accident or having to pay for repairs?
-
i've had eye twitches before. wierd that it only happens while you drive tho. how long have you had them? it only lasted about a month or so for me, and it happened mostly in stressful situations. and the more i thought about it the more it happened.
-
Come on guys, we don't want to fuel the Asians can't drive stereotype!
-
Does it feel like someone is sort of gently poking you in the eye, or is it more like your eyes get "lazy" and start moving around without much control? (Is it one eye or both eyes also)
-
I suspect its stress-related. I had a friend back in highschool who had eye twitches when she was nervous. I think she got them while driving too, but basically during any situation where she was "keyed up" or doing something that required a lot of attention.
I shared an art class with her... and on days she didn't take her medication, she was rather funny to watch. Yes I'm a horrible person.
Anyway, medications are available for involuntary twitching, but are usually reserved for the harshest cases. Does it get pretty bad? And do you notice it at other times at all?
-
I used to have a problem as a kid where I would blink excessively when I was nervous. It really pissed me off because I was a pretty high strung kid.
But yeah get yourself to an optometrist, pronto.
-
I can totally picture you as a blinker.
-
Well, there was a long period of my life when I couldn't stop twitching. But generally it's slowed down a LOT. But like you guys say, I twitch uncontrollably in certain situations like autograph signings, comic book conventions, movie premieres; probably stress related.
As a driver though, I'm not nervous at all.
-

I don't know what to make of that comment...
-
When you say 'go crazy' do you mean like they flicker from side to side a lot?
-
Well, I drive slow and really carefully
Loving this quote from an asian gentleman.
-
Slow and careful's better than fast and stupid. The only let-down is we don't crash enough to merit getting off the road. No, people tend to crash into us, and we get to rake in the proceeds. So if you see an asian driving a beat-up car, get the hell off the road.
If the eye twitching is stress-related, you'll get over it eventually. Again, go to the doctor and see if they have medications for it in the meantime.
-
Juris are you asian? That's news to me. Can you post a picture of yourself.

How much do you use the computer or play video games? I heard that sometimes eye twitching like that has to do with combinations of sleepiness and excessive computer/video game use. I had to go to the eye doctor when I was a kid and got my first Game Boy for Christmas. I played it so much that my eyes watered all the time and had blinking and twitching spasms, even when I wasn't playing. I had to stop playing my Game Boy, and it went away. (Super Mario Land 2 was a really, really great game..)

Bam. I used to twitch + water a fucking lot for no reason but it's slowed down a lot now. I still have problems with being tired.
The problem is I'm on the computer so fucking much. I'd get off but really I literally have nothing to do. I have no friends or anything around here.
Also stress is possible because I am always angry and fed up with life + emo bullshit.

if you press your tongue to the roof of your mouth you can prevent a sneeze
also this may seem silly but what's your car AC like? do you have... wind in your eyes?
-

It's not always on, but yes, I do get wind in my eyes and I thought of it as a possible explanation.
-
That sounds like an odd problem. Yet, you said your twitching outside the car went away. And you're still only on permit license? Maybe the in-car twitching will go away too, over time.
-

The funny thing is, I'm the exact same way.
-
Does your car have anything in it that you could have allergies to?
-
I dunno if this has been asked but is it only when you drive, or when you're in cars in general?
Also is it subject to your car only or a series of cars?
-
I think its because Psyburn is generally just spastic as shit and needs to calm down.
-
Man I used to have crazy eye twitches that randomly happened at times. I think one time it lasted for like 3 minutes non-stop and it kept happening all day but with shorter periods. I don't get that at all anymore but, my eyes start to water at times. I spend a lot of time on the computer and I am pretty sure that is the cause. It also happens when I am outside. Come to think of it, I think it only happened around winter.
I just got my permit 2 days ago and I went for a drive for the 1st time. I hope this doesn't happen to me because I can tell that my eyes are getting really messed up. Anyway, I bet its cause your on the computer too much.
I probably should get off the computer now.. getting really tired of it anyway.
-
I generally twitch for no apparent reason and my neck sort of spasms. Not a pleasant thing.
