Single Out the Source of Your Fear – This is the very first step that you need to take in order for you to overcome your driving fear. Where do you think this fear that you are having is coming from?

Ask yourself these questions, so you could find out the exact source of your fear. By doing so, it would be a lot easier for you to find a way to put a stop to your fear.
Make Your Surrounding as Comfortable as Possible – This is another helpful approach in terms of overcoming your driving phobia.

Always make sure that you have all the necessary items that you need like a spare tire, a fully charged cell phone, flashlights, small fire extinguisher and the like. Having all of these readily available will help put your mind at ease.
Pull Over – If in any case the anxiety you feel gets worst while you are on the road, look for a suitable place where you can pull over. Next, breathe evenly and slowly. It would also be best to have a bottled water in stow for you to drink.
