Why A Person Might Have A Phobia For Driving

By Michael Perry


If you think that phobia of driving is only experienced by some specific kind of people, then you are wrong. Anyone can become a victim of this problem. In the end, it all comes down to their driving experiences.

This phobia sees no religion, age, race or gender. Most of the people, who develop this kind of fear, are ones who have some experience behind the wheels. However, surprising as it might sound there are people who suffer from this condition who have never even tried their hands at driving.

If that is the case, the fear is usually the result of an incident that involved the person in questions. The accident is very traumatic in nature. Therefore, the affect is enormous.

Traumatic accidents are the biggest causes of this problem. Drivers, who are involved in these accidents, are likely to suffer from this problem.

In a head-on collision with another car, the person involved may experience the replay of that event. This might be the case even a long time after the incident. Those memories can still haunt the person.

Some of the affected drivers go through severe panic and anxiety while driving. This is more likely to happen in the areas where the accidents occurred. This anxiety and fear can be so crippling that it leads to people quitting driving totally.

Victims of hit-and-run cases, who were just pedestrians, can also develop this form phobia as well even when they were not even the vehicle. It can also keep them away from driving.

They might become scared of driving because they are fearful that they might end up putting someone else in the same situation. These people might also give up the idea of driving all together.
