I have a fear of driving as well. I've had panic attacks while driving and, quite honestly, people drive really aggressively around here. We're near a military base, a university, a hospital, a freeway, and a large shopping mall. That's a lot of traffic! My husband does a lot of the driving but I need to be prepared in case he goes to the hospital or has an MRI done while he's sedated.
I do drive around our neighborhood once in a while to keep myself familiar with the car. Just take a few turns and get used to parking. I think prolonged exposure therapy would help.
