I've not been in a car since accident now 18 months ago....(rta was not my fault - insurance claim on going).... I've suffered from mild agoraphobia for some time - the car was my lifeline for going out....I managed to go out to work full time but that was it. Since accident I've just not managed to go out at all....my GP said the therapist would take me out in a car .....but obv that was not the case....and public transport round here is 1 bus a day into nearest town about 10 miles away.
