Driving phobia
Driving phobia or a fear of driving can be severe enough to be considered an intense, persistent fear or phobia.〔 〕 It is often great enough that people will avoid driving at all costs, and instead find someone to drive them or use public transportation, regardless of how inconvenient or expensive. Also termed vehophobia〔http://www.changethatsrightnow.com/phobia-list-and-definitions/vehophobia〕 (from Latin word ''veho'' meaning "drive", and Greek word ''Φόβος'' (phóbos) meaning "fear"), it is comparable to amaxophobia, the fear of riding in a vehicle, or hodophobia, the fear of traveling. Hodophobia is derived from the Greek word "hodos", meaning path and "phobos" meaning fear.
A fear of driving may escalate to a phobia during difficult driving situations, such as freeway driving or congested traffic.〔 〕
==Symptoms==
People with a fear of driving may experience trembling, sweating, accelerated pulse, loss of sense of reality, and thoughts of losing control while driving, even in situations that are reasonably safe.〔 Driving Anxiety Explored. http://www.fear-of-driving.org/ Fear of Driving. Accessed 18 April 2012.〕 This fear will cause many to avoid driving, create excuses to not drive, or even refuse to get a driver's license for years.
Those with associated post-traumatic stress disorder may experience intrusive thoughts or dreams of the original accident—both when driving and not—lack of emotional responsiveness and irritability.
