If you suffer from panic attacks during driving know that you are not alone and that there are millions like you. It is a dangerous condition and could lead to difficult situations for you, your passengers and other road users. It is usually based on an unfounded fear connected to the panic attack and driving nevertheless the attack is real to the individual and could hamper their motoring skills.

First you have to identify the fear and then deal with it. Some people resort to therapy but there are other ways to handle the panic attacks. Usually before there is a fully fledged panic attack one feels a rising anxiety fuelled by possibilities of bad things occurring. One needs to reinforce the necessity of the drive and then begin reassuring yourself. If indeed you are in a tricky situation you need to take a deep breath and focus on the events happening on that moment while affirming that you can handle whatever comes your way.
