Simply they call it Driving Phobia or Fear of Driving. I don't believe a latin prefix has been designated to it such as amaxophobia(fear of riding in a car), motorphobia(fear of automobiles), tachophobia(fear of speed).
Driving fear can make life very difficult for individuals who have to commute to work every day or those who rely on daily driving. People who suffer from a fear of driving are likely to avoid traveling whenever possible and may develop a phobia of getting behind the wheel.
There are several reasons why fear of driving can occur. For many it is caused by generalized or situational anxiety that is triggered by the stress of driving itself. For others it can be the memories of past car accident or similar event or trauma that can cause fear. Still others can have a specific driving phobia such as the fear of driving over bridges or the fear of highway driving.
