I am afraid to drive in a passanger seat on ahighway. When it's under 55mph I am fine but when it gets over I start freaking out yelling a driver to slow down all the time. I am very nervous on the road. It's very inconvenient and annoying.

I HAD A FEAR OF DRIVING AFTER A BIG ACCIDENT I HAD THE LAST WINTER. AS SOON AS MY CAR WAS FIXED I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN

I personally don't have this problem, however, I am a very annoying passenger, I am sure. LOL I constantly tell my husband what I think he is doing wrong when he drives, and I am sure he really enjoys it.
What it is though, is that you don't like NOT being in control! It's a total control issue. Most of us like being in control in some form or another and driving the car yourself is a lot more satisfying than letting someone else do it.
I have learned to find myself distractions when I am not driving. I read or do crossword puzzles or whatever it takes to avoid looking at the speedometer every two minutes and telling him he should slow down or use his blinker. All that does is raise my blood pressure and make the ride annoying for both of us.
If it is getting to the point where you are on the verge of a panic attack, though, you need to see your doctor.
My cousin rolled her car once and for a good while afterwards, she began noticing that she was becoming increasingly aggitated whenever she drove. At first it was just when she was going up into the canyon where she had the accident (she had a family member she visited up there), then it got to be bridges over water, then over passes, then even steep inclines (hills).
She saw her doctor about it, and was prescibed something that would help her control her panic attacks. She had a low dose she could take when she was driving and a higher dose for being a passenger or for flying.
This was several years ago, and she doesn't deal with the panic attacks anymore. So you maybe able to get over it as well.

What does that have to do with marriage or divorce???
Just don't ride on the highway with anybody.

Speak to you doctor, I am sure that he/she can prescribe a slight relaxant to help you with your problem. GOOD LUCK!
