About 80% of all accidents are rather frivolous, these include light collisions, lack of a couple of centimeters and other annoying little things. Usually, after such accidents, coping with your experiences is quite simple.

Problems begin after serious accidents in which cars, passengers and drivers suffer. Injury and shock in this case prevents the driver from even thinking about getting behind the wheel. Particularly severe are accidents in which people die. Recovery from such stress is a long, complex and individual process. Fear, fueled by guilty feelings, can in principle prevent a person from ever driving, and in some cases he will feel terribly uncomfortable even as a passenger. It is best to seek the help of a good specialist to get rid of such a fear.

A person with a strong nervous system and developed strong-willed qualities with a similar situation can cope independently. But in this case, rather, an adequate sense of responsibility plays an important role. If it is overstated, guilt is added to fear, if the sense of responsibility is underestimated, the situation may be repeated in the future, since the lesson has not been fully learned. It is very important to really understand what the driver was guilty of and where the unpleasant set of circumstances worked.

A serious help may be the need to drive, situations in which you cannot do without a car. If even in this case you can figure out why it is easier to do without a car than to drive again, it is better to contact a specialist.

It is best to start an independent rehabilitation with the role of a passenger. After an accident, it is advisable at least for a week, and it is better to ignore driving for two, to pretend that you do not know how to do this. Live this state, do not let the obligations put pressure on you, forget that you must certainly drive the car. After some time of such passenger or pedestrian pastime, you will want to drive, because you will miss driving, or maybe just out of principle or harm. The reason in this case is unimportant.

A good way to convince yourself to drive (if you do not have time for a long rehabilitation) is to work with a driving instructor. Many cities have extreme driving schools. Studying in such an institution will give you the necessary skills for the correct behavior in a difficult situation on the road, in addition, it will add confidence that you can cope with such difficulties, that is, heal your fear of a recurrence of an emergency. Under the supervision of a professional and in the absence of a risk to life, it is much easier to get all the necessary skills.
