Once I was terrified of driving on the interstate through a large city. The aggressive behavior and speed of the other drivers, especially large tractor-trailers, and the constant construction frightened me to death. I managed to (mostly) get over it though when I had to detour onto a long, “temporary” section of interstate during a thunderstorm while being passed by everyone. I figured if I could survive that, I could survive driving anywhere.

My cousin has a fear of driving she tried it once and that was her last time. I think the reason she is so scared is because she thinks she is going to crash and die.She is know almost 30 and still refuses to drive.So she takes the bus or walks she wont even get into a car.

I don’t have the fear of driving because i am well in driving and i use to follow the traffic rules. And i advise the learners to complete their drivings in secure place and then proceed to main city.

I haven’t driven in over 5 months. Soon I will be getting a car again, and I am a little apprehensive about getting back on the road. I will probably avoid stressful city driving and stay close to home until I get back into the swing of things and feel comfortable about driving again. I found this article to be most helpful. Thanks.

I have a fear of driving on ice. When I was younger, my parents and I were in two nasty car wrecks because of black ice. Right now I live on the gulf coast primarily due to my fear of driving on ice. We rarely travel in the winter unless my wife drives, which is still quite stressful to me.

I have gotten panic attacks while driving a few times…One time I nearly passed out and ran up on the curb, but luckily didn’t hit anything. I have been in some bad car wrecks, but I didn’t start getting this fear until I hit about 35. Not being able to drive has affected my life considerably!.

I have had several accidents that were not my fault where I have suffered minimal injuries. After every accident I suffered anxiety about driving again. I drove around in neighborhoods and gradually worked back to the highway. It takes some time to adjust.

My sister is afraid of making left turns. She always makes right turns.

I have a fear of driving through the city. This is not a normal phobia but a product of my PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) I’m a combat wounded veteran as I was patroling the streets of Bagdad in my vehicle, we were hit with an IED (improvised explosive device) although I have recover and I do drive through the city, it is a nerve racking experience that I try to avoid as much as I can.

My fear is focused on the other drivers. Will thay stop at the stop sign? Will they pull out in front of me after stopping? When my light turns green, I wait a couple of seconds to be sure that no one is going to run the red light.
