This has all kind of snowballed to the point that we don't know what exactly the fear is. She starts crying and freaking out at the thought of driving,and while she can calm herself down some she drives EXTREMELY slow and white knuckles it the whole time. We do the school parking lots but some weekends there is still quite a bit of traffic. We drive on the road sometimes very early in the morning,when no one else is out there. She witnessed a very bad accident two years ago and this stuck with her,and caused a lot of nervousness. Then,just a few months later we were driving talking about her phobia and a car was hit only about three cars ahead of us. I jumped out to help and while doing so,she stayed in the vehicle. A third car then hit one of the vehicles that was stationary and pushed it a little and she said later that she thought it was going to hit her. Essentially,she said odds are she will be in an accident and has no way of knowing if or how bad she might get hurt. She says her life plan is to move to DC and take the Metro. Because that's safer. I know. Rolled my eyes too. She even lost it in Disney World on the test track ride,came off in tears because she said part of the ride simulated a collision with a truck.
