- Feelings of anxiety and increased heart rate when you’re faced with reminders of the event. Hearing a horn honk or brakes screeching may automatically activate a fear response.
- Feeling a little more on edge when you’re driving. You may be jumpy or startle more easily in a car.
- Being more watchful. You’re more likely to scan your environment for potential sources of threats (for example, people driving too fast).
- Avoidance. Because of the anxiety that often follows an MVA, it’s natural that you may want to avoid some situations or experience hesitation at times, such as driving on the highway.
