Italian here, I've finally put away enough money to afford a trip to CT, (I have some family members there); anyway, I'd be landing in NY, staying a couple of nights and then driving up to CT, it's a 3 and a half hours drive. The only issue is, I'm terrified, NY it's probably one of the biggest cities in the world and traffic is a nightmare. Mind you, I'm 21, I've been driving since I was 18 both in cities and outside. Idk, maybe I'm overthinking it, but please; if you have anything; a tip and advice, it'll be much appreciated.
