I didn't have a car run in front of me, but I did have a recent hospital stay & surgery back in Jan 25th and I can tell you that I am still not 100% physically/mentally & emotionally.
I am finally feeling better and regaining confidence, and it just seems like time its taking care of it. As much as I'd like to rush things, I just can't.
St.Pete is a very busy city, I can understand how after a traffic accident getting back out there is very intimidating. I went down at the track and considering what I went through I was naturally ready to give up riding at one point or another.
There are no exercises, or things of that sort to help you out... In my experience time seems to be taking care of things. But ultimately I'll have to face the scene of my accident again... If you really want to ride again... you'll just have to go out a few times till the confidence returns.
AKA... Facing our fears...
