Thought of another driving thing. Other times I avoid driving for being very scattered and afraid. I've got plenty of other issues, so it's not a BP thing, but... While it's probably not agoraphobia per se, I have substantial spells of having serious trouble getting out (and being out) of the apartment. Terrified and overwhelmed by everything. Obviously avoid driving then too. (So you can imagine how "fun" it would be when I had to go to work. Yes, had to. Jumpy, panicked, hysterical, terrified of getting lost even on known routes... I'd shake for a good half hour even after arriving. Friggin' blast, that...) And then there were the pre-leaving breakdowns...

Not my best driving I'm sure. Fortunately though, no incidents. Which the fear of of course worried the **** out of me -- that my precarious tiny foothold would be lost and convinced I'd be hauled off involuntarily...
