Driving phobia is the extreme fear of driving. It can affect a person for decades if it is left untreated.
A good way to deal with driving anxiety before it becomes full-blown driving fear is to seek treatment as early as possible. Being in an auto accident is one of the most common causes of driving phobia, so preventive action after a crash may be best.
How can you avoid developing a phobia of driving? If you have an unsettling experience while behind the wheel (or in the passenger’s seat), you can ask a licensed counselor to assess your problem. He or she may be able to help you cope with your fear in a healthy way before it gets out of control.
