Treatment of Driving Phobia, Anxiety and Road Fear

Welcome to the Ride Drive driving phobia, anxiety and road fear website.

The purpose of this website is to primarily provide information and support for the benefit of phobic drivers who are affected by the road fear that handicaps their ability to function normally as a driver on certain road types.

Sometimes referred to as driving phobia, or road anxiety, those who suffer from driving phobia often find themselves in a debilitating downward spiral of diminishing ability to cope. They will often not realise their road anxiety symptoms are shared by hundreds of thousands of phobic drivers all over the world. It is, in fact, one of the world’s best kept secrets.

To have arrived on this phobic drivers site for the first time
it must have been for one of three reasons.

You have a road anxiety problem and you are frantically trying to convince yourself that you are not going mad, which you aren’t, and trying to find answers.
You are directly affected by road anxiety in someone else and you want to help them.
You have stumbled upon this site by accident whilst looking for something else and now you are curious.

If you come under the third category then we especially welcome you, and encourage you to read as much as you can, because the more people who are aware of the road fear that affects phobic drivers, more people become educated.

Raising Awareness of Driving Phobia and Road Fear

With greater public awareness of driving phobia and road anxiety there will become greater tolerance and understanding. That can mean those who are battling with their driving phobia or anxiety issues need not feel so victimised by the rest of the motoring population.

This website also gives you an insight into the causes of the driving phobia and road anxiety condition and may prevent others from becoming affected. Don’t ever think that drivers with road anxiety are mad and they are freaks, because they are not. They are normal, rational, intelligent and very worthwhile people, and driving phobia, road anxiety or road fear isn’t something they chose. The way driving phobia chooses its victims is as indiscriminate as contracting cancer, suffering a stroke or a heart attack. It can happen to anyone at any time.
