That awkward feeling that you get when driving over high bridges, in busy streets, tunnels, freeways or intersections is called driving phobia, the fear of driving. It may be just a glitch to you and does not affect your driving but for some people, it is a full-blown problem that completely makes their driving abilities inadequate. Driving is supposed to be relaxing, cool and smooth but when imaginations of something terrible happening grips the driver, the whole journey becomes dangerous and a torture, if they can drive at all.
There is a simple solution to overcoming this problem â?? it involves combining controlled deep and gentle breathing with relaxed posture and calmed nerves. This ensures that you are focused and your mind is stress free while driving so as to leave no room for negative imaginations that are responsible for panic attacks and driving phobia. This may not work for everyone but it is definitely worth trying because it has worked for many drivers.
