View Full Version : Fear of Speed
In the last six months i have suffererd panic attacks when in cars that are moving fast. I find it hard to deal with motorways, im always eager to leave them. Whenever the car im in goes over 70mph I have the powerful feeling of losing control, and wanting to escape the situation.
I no longer hold a driving liscence myself and have only experienced this when Ive been a passenger. Does anyone else out there know what i'm talking about....

Hi Skibba
Oh yes , I know what you're talking about...I have the same problem.
It's definitely not nice at all.
Take care.

I have this exactly as well. Meg once questioned me about being in cars, buses, taxis and trains and what, apart from the not being in control thing, did I hate about it.
Well I hate the feeling of speed so I avoid them all. I even have to stop my partner driving too fast at times cos I don't like the feeling.
I am off to Alton Towers next week and I will not be going on anything cos of this phobia.
Not sure there is a name for it but I know exactly how you feel so you are not alone.

My mum used to be a terrible passenger, especially with my dad driving, she'd smoke about 8 cigarettes at once on long holiday journeys cos she was so scared of the motorway and then turn round to me and wonder why I was feeling car sick.
I must admit I'm not terrribly keen myself and once made my ex use A roads on a journey south to north (took us about 3 weeks to get there - family had forgotten we were coming by that point).

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.
Anything above 50mph scares me, especially on the motorway. The only way to get over this is to practice. I avoid it but know that I will have to do it soon..:D

im the same im always telling my partner to slow down i thought it was just me.
I do get frightened at times by it don't worry it's perfectly normal. You do feel out of control and it's horrid.
Take care,
