Hi kellymcgrady
I think if you are scared then you should examine it. It is a defense mechanism not ridiculous. People die in car crashes a lot. They tidy them up really quickly so people do not realize te carnage.
Driving a car is a very serious business. I think your attitude is absolutely the right attitude to have.
There are very bad drivers out there. One rammed me from behind after we had both been stationary at a junction. He was looking at the traffic flow and floored his accelerator and hit my car. I asked why he did it and he said he thought I had gone. I was right there! He did not even look ahead of him.

void00	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 2:07AM No need to be scared. True, there are lots of crashes, but cars are pretty safe now. Fatalities are quite unusual in a car as opposed to, on a bike say. Rated: +1Vote for this!
robyn	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 1:37AM concerned, but not terrified. the percent of survival is vastly in your favor. if you aren't reckless or don't drive drunk, your odds are even better. you can't predict impaired drivers, but watch out for them. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT. good luck and enjoy driving! Rated: +1Vote for this!

mariellarose	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 1:46AM Just be careful. You will most likely crash sometime, but the chances of it being lethal aren't terribly high. Rated: +1Vote for this!
kevinmcc	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 2:00AM It is a silly fear some people have, But if it worries you so much it effects your confidence on the road ,then don`t drive ,until you get rid of it as nervious drivers can cause accidents , and you can be so careful that you actually end up in an accident. But rest assured i have driven alsorts of ,cars trucks, etc been driving for 39yrs and not even been close to a bad accident. Rated: +1Vote for this!
