Do you still hear the crash by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 01:58:57 PM EST
when you go through intersections? It took me years to get over the panic of intersections after my accident. But I hardly ever think about it now.

I just started driving again by paperdoll (4.00 / 2) #3 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 02:04:45 PM EST
a few days ago, they were a bit slow getting me a rental, and I'm too short to drive my boyfriends truck.  I'm jumpy but mostly only at that intersection or if I see a motorcycle in the on coming traffic.  I still remember the guys face even though I only saw it for a few seconds.

I'm kinda feeling like that by thekubrix (4.00 / 1) #17 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 05:26:53 PM EST
As I mentioned below, after my first accident I started to drive extra paranoid and careful, but nothing too serious. But after this second accident (which was much more severe), I get major anxiety when driving,....and for some reason it's worse when I'm in the passenger seat.

Severity seems to be the key by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #18 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 07:20:40 PM EST
for me also. Fender benders have never bothered me. The near fatal crash is what messed me up for years.
