Re: Driving Phobias

Depends on the nature of the phobia, I'd think?

If your fear has a more realistic rational basis, like you feel that your inexperience makes you a dangerous driver who might cause accidents, then taking driving lessons might help a lot along with simply getting more experience driving.

But, if your fear is mostly an instinctual irrational thing, like being terrified of clowns, then a driving instructor might not be able to help and you'd probably be better off saving up more money to see a shrink.

If it helps to hear someone else's personal experience- I have a lot of anxiety about driving despite doing it all the time as a huge part of my job. Partly it's that I have a very hard time judging speeds and distances, and partly it's a social thing in that I feel like other drivers are judging me or getting angry at me for doing the speed limit or something. I never really "got over" this, but eventually I drove enough that I got to the point where I could tune it out enough to function.
