Some people with this phobia find it difficult to pass the test. Others are anxious on freeways or certain roads. In extreme cases, people are afraid of being a passenger in a vehicle.

People say that actress Nicole Kidman suffers from this phobia. It is closely linked to a general fear of insects. People with this phobia are afraid of most insects with wings, and they feel nauseous or they panic if they see them.

This phobia is very common in young children, but adults suffer from it, too. Many people are especially afraid of receiving vaccinations or undergoing blood tests.

This fear affects nearly one in every 20 adults. People with this phobia usually avoid tall buildings, skiing, or standing on balconies.

I am so scared that I haven't been to see one for more than 15 years. I hate thinking about them! I feel the same way about dentists, too.

-Carl.

I have a fear of going over bridges, and on freeways at over 60 mph. I'm OK at 45 mph. I once went over a bridge and I had to stop in the middle — I was really frightened. I haven't driven that way since then, and that was seven years ago.

-Becky

I thought I was the only person that had this fear! I'm OK with the small ones, but I'm terrified of the big ones. I'm OK if they aren't close to me, but as soon as they start flying near me, I run away. I like looking at pictures of them because they can be beautiful, but if they fly towards me, especially towards my face, I panic.

-Mina

I suffer from this phobia, and what works best for me, if I know that l'm going to be in a situation where there'll be a lot of people, is to arrive early. Then other people arrive little by little, and that helps me. The worst thing is walking into a place that is already full of people.

-Simon

I've had this phobia for about 20 years. It started when I was a child, about Six I think. I had a bad
dream where I was in an apartment building high up on a
hill and I almost fell out of the window. I woke up and started crying. I haven't been to any really high places since then. Even if I imagine l'm in a high place, I feel dizzy.
-Keith
