That accident prevented me from even thinking about driving. Even when I drove with my mom, friends, anyone for that matter, I always was super paranoid. Although I would never be a "back seat driver", because in my mind, that just makes the driver less focused, I would always think to myself "omg omg, they dont see this person pulling out in front of them" or something along those lines.

mmhmm. I haven't been in a car accident yet (thank god), and that just makes me all the more fearful of how it's going be/turn out in the end. It's like a kid who's never been stung by a bee before, and has only heard about it, only more violent and generally more deadly and terrifying. I'm also afraid that my eyes are going to drift when I drive, since whenever I'm in the passenger seat, I am physically unable to keep my attention on the roads because of advertisements and distracting signs. I'm also not confident in my reaction time/depth perception, even remotely. Basically, I have 100% convinced myself that I am doomed behind that wheel.
