Our Background in Road Fear & Anxiety
Red line underline beneath heading, Our Background in Road Fear and Anxiety


We wish to make all the facts relating to our background totally clear to those who may seek our help to overcome their road fear issues. We want to show we are operating with integrity and so have nothing to hide.

To that end,

  • We are not psychologists or psychotherapists,
  • We do not have any formal qualifications in psychotherapy or other process associated with the treatment of mental health,
  • We are not DSA L–plate driving instructors,
  • We are not currently recognised by any official body.

However, we do have,

  • A level of driver training not available to the general public,
  • A professional people–handling background,
  • A professional background in gaining cooperation from people in a highly emotional and stressful state,
  • Our own extensive and ground–breaking research and development in the field of driving phobia.

There is nothing contentious in what we do or the way we do it, and certainly there is no wizardry, voodoo or witchcraft involved. We do not use any off the wall unorthodox methods, alternative medicines, or any medicines come to that.

There is no hypnotherapy or any other therapy and we do not try to baffle you with psycho–babble. We do not try to address your situation with driving lesson tactics, and as you will come to realise the road fear and anxiety you experience actually hasn’t made you forget how to drive.


There is no quick and cure–all solution
to help you overcome road fear

We feel it is vitally important that we do not lead anyone to assume that we have the cure–all solution to everyone’s individual problems concerning road fear or anxiety when driving, because this is simply is not the case.

Our advice to anyone who is trying to overcome road fear or anxiety when driving is to seek advice from their GP before embarking upon any driver behaviour correction programme.


Our Method to Overcome Road Fear

So, how do we help you to overcome road fear? Well, obviously we are not going to reveal our methods on this website, as it is not just people who experience anxiety when driving that are looking in. This is a greedy world and so we have to keep some information away from the vultures that may be circling overhead.


Our research into road fear has uncovered specific information as
to why people develop acute anxiety when driving

Through or research we have uncovered some ground–breaking facts about what happens at the point the driving phobia becomes formed, and why the subject continues to experience anxiety when driving thereafter.

We now know the science behind the problem, what perpetuates it, why it is a degenerative condition, and most important of all, we know what to do to help you to overcome road fear. We continue to be excited by the discoveries we have made, and as such, we believe we are now at the leading edge of discovery into the causes and conditions of road fear.


Further professional back–up is there if needed

We do have a qualified professional on board as part of our team, who has experience of working as a hypnotherapist, NLP therapist and a stress counsellor.

His role is that of a professional advisor within the Ride Drive organisation; to comment and to guide us wherever necessary. However, his services have been required less and less, as our understanding of the issues that you face have become more advanced.

Alternatively, if you click on that same graphic, you will be able to send an email.

Remember, you are forbidden to make any booking during your first telephone contact, so all it will cost you to find out how we can help you to oversome road fear is a telephone call. How easy is that?

They will be happy to tell of their own and personal experience of the service they received. If this is something you would like to explore, please ask for details when you call.


Honesty is the best policy

You will receive nothing but bare–faced honesty from us at all times, which unfortunately means you may sometimes be told things you don’t want to hear. However, whatever the information, at least it will be the complete truth and you will know where you stand.
