What causes panic attacks while driving?
For the first time, I suffered a panic attack while driving. It was kind of scary. What can cause a panic attack while driving?

We’re sorry you had to go through that. Panic attacks while driving are not uncommon, and they can be caused by stressful situations like
traffic jams
or driving in severe weather. You may be more likely to experience a panic attack while driving if:
- You have a history of panic attacks
- You have recently gone through a major life change
- You have experienced a recent car accident
- You have suffered a recent trauma even if it’s not driving-related
If it happens again, we recommend safely pulling over and waiting for the panic attack to pass. You should also consider speaking to your doctor.
While it hopefully won’t lead to a panic attack, car insurance can be stressful. Make sure you’re getting the lowest rate on the best coverage by using the licensed brokerage app,
