@Darkness...the above that I copied and pasted off of your comment rings true with me as well.

Ya and cost is also a factor.
I could probably get over my fears with a lot of practice but driving classes typically have a limited amount of hours. I spent over $300 on my last class for 12 hours of on road training and driving just didn't click for me in that amount of time due to my anxiety issues. I feel like I would need 3-4 times that amount of time just to get over my fears enough to be functional on the road but I don't have $1000-2000 to spend on driving classes. Even if I did have that kind of money to blow on a whim I would be better off spending it on my web store or some more training to get a better income so I can afford to live in a city with good public transportation in the first place.
I wish self driving cars would hurry up and become mainstream so driving no longer becomes an issue for me.
