All kinds of experiences can happen to us while driving. We could have some kind of crash, we could be car-jacked, we could witness an accident, etc. Our experiences lead to three different types of vehophobia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Indirect<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: these are related to a person&#8217;s experience either outside or within a vehicle (we mentioned agoraphobia and claustrophobia above) and could also include tachophobia (fear of speed)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Direct (risk-related)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: these are related to a driver having an irrational fear of something bad happening when driving, such as killing a pedestrian<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Direct (scenario-related)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: these are often experienced by drivers who have had a bad experience. They can be generic, e.g. all driving, or very specific, e.g. driving in snow or alongside a cliff, or driving at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How do you cure your fear of driving?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitigating your feelings and fears can be accomplished by removing each obstacle that is causing the fear. For learner drivers, it&#8217;s natural to be anxious when starting to drive. Good driving instructors will methodically build a driver&#8217;s skill to improve confidence without overwhelming them. Therefore, for a learner driver, getting a driving instructor (or a different driving instructor) could solve the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experienced drivers usually develop a fear of driving through having had a bad experience in some kind of crash. Purchasing a safer car might be all it takes to assure the person they are safe, or it might take advanced driving lessons to give them strategies to improve their confidence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, the fear never goes away but the person simply learns to manage it; they may avoid driving at specific times unless absolutely necessary, for example, at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are worried about your fear of driving, talking to a health professional is a good first step to get some input. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vehophobia is the fear of driving.
