Driving on a highway is much more frightening. In the last year I know of someone who had a heart attack (died) and crashed into several vehicles and another story of a girl getting cut off on a highway, flipping over the median and pretty much scalping herself (survived). The second story I think of pretty often and have to change lanes sometimes because I think a car might randomly fly over the median. Also, every single day I pass the below sign that reminds me I could be added to the yearly death tally.
Yeah, I don't drive. I don't have a license and never really care to learn. I don't need a car.
I know what you're saying but it is similar to being scared of snakes, spiders or heights (I get paralysed by heights too).
I'm not sure why it has become so much worse but the nosedive didn't help. Try it and see. It was instant chaos, plummeting toward the ground. Like a roller coaster 30,000 feet in the air. There is no brace position, you're fucked.
I get the rational of your argument, it is becoming more of a phobia.
Did anyone see the supposed footage of the passengers when that pilot dived into a mountain recently?
