"I've been driving for 20 years but for the last decade I have avoided motorways. The speed, the overtaking, the merging - it gives me the heebie-jeebies."
"Repeating my driving test five times and being involved in a car crash with my kids on board has made me super fearful of motorway driving."
Fear of motorway driving affects women over 35 disproportionately and can become very limiting. One driver avoided motorways for the last decade despite having driven for 20 years. The speed, overtaking, and merging on motorways triggered strong anxiety. Repeated driving test attempts and a car crash with children on board increased fear and made motorway driving feel especially unsafe. With expert help, the fear can be conquered and driving can become manageable again.
