Many people still experience anxiety while driving, often in different ways. Some people fear of being a passenger in cars. Others simply experience fear while on the road as they try to keep themselves out of danger. Still others may have panic attacks while in their car, but are not necessarily afraid of the car itself. All of these are different types of automobile anxiety, and all of them require different techniques to fight the anxiety.
Any Stress Can Cause Anxiety
Anything that causes stress can lead to anxiety, and driving is clearly stressful. Every moment you're travelling at high speeds and dodging drivers that may not be as skilled or talented. You may have had a frightening experience behind the wheel, seen news reports of car accidents, or simply started experiencing anxiety on the road.
Causes of Driving Anxiety
There are several different types of driving anxiety and thousands of experiences that may lead to panic behind the wheel. Two of the most common causes of driving anxiety include:
Panic Attack While Driving
Easily one of the most common causes of driving anxiety occurs when someone has a panic attack while driving a car. Panic attacks control your entire mind and body, making it hard to concentrate on anything else. If you're also driving, it can feel like there is no escape and that the panic attack may be putting your life in danger. Eventually, the person becomes afraid to get into a car, because they're worried that driving will cause another panic attack. Unfortunately, because of the way panic attacks work, that fear often causes a panic attack to happen again.
Dangerous Situations
Anxiety also tends to occur as a response to dangerous experiences, or perceived dangerous experiences. For example, an accident or several near accidents may promote fear of driving. In addition, hearing about accidents or seeing an accident can also contribute to that fear. It's also possible to simple experience anxiety on the road that builds up over time. Small amounts of stress that are spread out over a period of time can eventually create anxiety that becomes attributed to the situation, and since driving is always going to be a little bit stressful, it can be hard for people to overcome those fears.
Overcoming the fear of driving is a process, and since driving - unlike other anxiety triggers - is something that will and should always cause at least a small amount of anxiety (otherwise you'll be driving recklessly), reducing that fear can be more of a challenge than in other situations
