Overcoming My First Minor Crash: Facing the Fear to Drive Again

Yesterday, I had my first real scare behind the wheel—a minor crash that shook my confidence. For hours after, I replayed the moment in my head, wondering if I’d ever feel safe driving again. It’s tough to admit, but fear can linger long after the danger has passed. What helped me was talking to a professional driving instructor, who reminded me that mistakes happen and every driver has setbacks. Taking a short break, practicing mindfulness, and easing back into driving with a trusted friend made a huge difference. Have you ever felt too scared to drive after an accident?
