Skilled Team of Driver Rehabilitation Professionals
Our skilled team of driver rehabilitation professionals consists of occupational therapists, driving instructors, and psychologists who collaborate to offer a well-rounded approach to driver rehabilitation. We recognise that anxiety, fear, PTSD, and other mental health issues can significantly impact people’s lives, and we aim to assist individuals in overcoming their driving obstacles and reclaiming their autonomy.
Some driving obstacles we aim to help you overcome:
- Driving Situations That May Trigger Anxiety and Stress
- Various aspects of driving can provoke anxiety, stress, fear, PTSD, and other mental health issues. Some of the most prevalent include:
- Freeway driving: High speeds, heavy traffic, and multiple lanes can be overwhelming for many people, leading to anxiety or fear.
- Intersection driving: Intersections can be dangerous, causing anxiety or fear when approaching or navigating them.
- Nighttime driving: Driving during the night can be challenging, particularly for individuals with poor vision or those who experience anxiety related to darkness.
- Driving in adverse weather: Operating a vehicle in rain, snow, or fog can be stressful, especially when visibility is limited.
- Driving on unfamiliar roads: Navigating unfamiliar roads can be anxiety-inducing, particularly when road conditions are poor or traffic is heavy.
- Driving post-accident: After experiencing an accident, some individuals may develop PTSD or other mental health issues, making it difficult for them to resume driving.
- Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) can be a significant source of driving anxiety, stress, fear, and PTSD. Individuals who have been in an MVA may feel anxious or fearful about driving, making it challenging to get back on the road. Some common reasons MVAs can contribute to driving anxiety and related conditions include:
- Fear of another accident: Those who have experienced an MVA may worry about having another accident, which can lead to anxiety and fear while driving.
- Physical injuries: Individuals injured in an MVA may have physical limitations that make driving difficult, resulting in anxiety and fear about controlling the vehicle.
- Emotional trauma: Emotional trauma stemming from an MVA can lead to PTSD, anxiety, or depression, making driving challenging.
- Loss of confidence: After an MVA, some people may lose confidence in their driving abilities, resulting in anxiety and fear while driving.
At Safe2Go, we offer driver rehabilitation programs tailored to help individuals overcome driving anxiety and regain confidence on the road. Our team of experienced driver rehabilitation specialists collaborates closely with clients to identify the root causes of their anxiety and create a customised plan to address their challenges.
We believe that with the proper support and guidance, anyone can learn to drive safely and confidently, even after an MVA. If you or someone you know has been involved in an MVA and is experiencing driving anxiety or related conditions, please contact us to learn more about how we can help.
