Tips For Driving Again, After An Accident

  • You may have walked away from a car accident without a scratch, but that doesn’t mean you’re 100% comfortable getting back behind the wheel. “An accident will affect you psychologically,” says Edward Hickling, Psy.D., co-author of After the Crash: Psychological Assessment and Treatment of Survivors of Motor Vehicle Accidents. 
  • As a result, some drivers become more cautious on the road. Others may feel anxious when passing the site of the accident or driving in similar conditions of the incident. That’s okay. “Within a month, these normal reactions will usually start to subside,” says Kenneth Reinhard, Ph.D., a board-certified clinical psychologist. These steps can help you get your confidence back when you’re ready to get back behind the wheel.

DO write down how the accident happened from beginning to end.

  • Your memories may be a jumble at first, but making sense of them and putting them in chronological order will help you recover. “Writing a narrative of the accident helps people face the trauma and deal with their emotions,” Hickling explains. In his treatment approach, patients repeat this exercise until thoughts of the accident are no longer upsetting.

DON’T keep it to yourself.

  • Talking to family, friends and other willing listeners about your experience can help ease fear and anxiety—and gets intrusive thoughts out of your head. To be constructive, though, you need to discuss the event with the emphasis on how you survived and are now safe, Reinhard adds.

DO bring another driver into the car with you the first time.

  • It will make you feel safer, and you’ll have someone there to take over if you feel too overwhelmed to drive, Reinhard says. How many more times you need company depends on how confident you feel behind the wheel, so let your comfort level be your guide.

DO start out with short, undemanding drives.

  • Like an athlete coming back from an injury, you should ease back into your routine. Professional treatment often involves stages of driving in less stressful to more stressful situations to help people regain their confidence. (In the meantime, prepare and feel more secure with these tips for unfamiliar driving situations.)

DON’T avoid the crash site.

  • Changing your route or slowing your speed because you feel nervous is counterproductive. “You’re feeding the anxiety,” Hickling explains. If you feel you just can’t return to normal, driving-wise, there are a number of proven treatments that can help, including traditional and cognitive behavior
  • therapies.

DO consider a defensive driving course.

  • Sharpening your skills may help you feel more assured behind the wheel—plus being back in the car without anything bad happening can help decrease your anxiety, Hickling explains. Defensive driving courses also help drivers recognize and analyze developing situations that could become dangerous, and provide proactive procedures to minimize other risks.
