Nothing bad will happen, you'll just feel bad.
I used to have exactly the same thing, in fact my first ever experience of panic was sitting in slow moving traffic on the M25.
Maybe have a few sessions of driving on the motorway with your husband in the car, but this time don't pull over. Just allow yourself to experience through the anxiety and keep on driving. It'll come and go, but just let it be.
