  • No. It’s a perfectly natural reaction.

    Having said that, I think you should get back behind the wheel ASAP.

    • I have two friends, both of whom were in accidents. One of them pressured himself into driving again shortly after to get past the PTSD. The other didn’t. Guess which one never drove again.
    • When I had just gotten my driver’s license I did not feel properly safe or in control either. It’s a habitual thing: The more you drive, the better you get at it, and with time the nervousness and uncertainty fades.

    You don’t NEED to drive again. But I think you should face your fear and try to move past the current trauma. Simply because being able to drive is useful. After than that, if you don’t really need to drive anywhere, just don’t.

    Scandinavian banter 101:

    • When one country rips on another country, the 3rd country usually joins on the side of the offender.

    Scandinavian banter 201:

    • It’s usually between Danes and Swedes, with Norway either getting the popcorn or joining the offense.
    • We rarely see the Finns join in, but they’re welcome if they want to.

    Scandinavian banter, graduation:

    • Sweden is obviously the inferior country.

    EDIT: But if anyone outside of Scandinavia were to mock, for example, the swedes, we’ve got their backs. I recall something said a while back when Sweden wanted to join NATO, and Erdigan was raising a stink: “Sweden sucks balls. But Erdogan can gargle more of them”.

    Just for the record: I know many swedes, most of whom are wonderful people.
