Hi there!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face. I dont frequent these forums much anymore, but just caught your post. You are one fine individual and I believe already have all the 'tools' mentally and physcially you need. You can see the difference between rationality and irrationality and what steps you can take for both.

I also had the scary car thing happen to me. I'm fine when driving myself. I feel like the queen of the road and nothing can stop me (i feel for those around me, hehe). But i did have a problem with others driving me. Mainly due to the loss of 'control' within the situation. For me, there was no simple process and i'm not really into long processes (to edgie to sit on things for long, hehe) so i just put my head down and bum up and went from there.

It came to the realization that 'so what' if i felt bad. So what if i had a panic attack in front of a friend and asked them to pull over. Find someone you trust and ask them to go to the local shop or to post a letter with you. Its your choice whether to disclose the reason behind it. Either way, your on the right road (no pun intended) to becoming a confident driver.

Much luck and throwing some confidence in for good mixture.
