ABSTRACT
Driving anxiety has been shown to be negatively related to driving performance (Kontogiannis, 2006; Matthews et al., 1998; Taylor, Deane and Podd, 2007). Furthermore, driving anxiety has been shown to lead to avoidance behaviour, which may range from the occasional reluctance to drive or ride under particular conditions (e.g., inclement weather or heavy traffic) to the total avoidance of driving or travelling in a vehicle (Blanchard and Hickling, 1997).
