Many of us have anxiety related to driving. And with thousands of accidents taking place each year, these fears can feel quite justified.   A common example is the fear of driving on highways.

If you have a fear of driving on highways, you’ll probably still drive on local roads, but you’ll tend avoid freeways, bridges, tunnels and other situations that limit your ability to “escape” the road. You may also avoid left turns, unless there’s a traffic signal with an arrow, because you want to avoid getting “trapped” in the intersection.

Why are people afraid of highway driving?

In general, the fear of driving on highways is not about the highway itself, or the speed of travel. It’s about your ability to cope with unexpected circumstances, and stop your car when you need to. Essentially, it’s about control.

When you’re on a local road, you know you can pull into the next parking lot, if you really have to. You always have an escape route, or a way to “get out”. But when you’re travelling on a highway, that freedom is taken away. You’re stuck in the flow of traffic, and your control is gone.

Common concerns about highway driving:

• Something will happen on the highway that you can’t handle, causing severe anxiety about being “trapped” in such a situation.

• You’re afraid of harming other people, and you avoid highways so you can’t be the cause of someone getting hurt.

• You’re afraid of getting lost, so you avoid highway driving to prevent getting yourself or your passengers lost.

• You’re afraid of how other drivers will behave.

• You’re concerned that other drivers are judging your ability on the road.

• You have a passenger who is highly critical of your ability to drive on the highway.

• If you’ve been in an accident, you’re worried that you’ll be in another one.

Statistically, it’s actually safer to drive on the highway than on local roads, at least from the number of accidents taking place each year. But like most fears, your fear of highway driving isn’t rational.
