Life changes can take a toll on your driving confidence

It was 1998 when Sally Hall, then a new mother, was driving to an IKEA in London with her four-month-old baby and her sister in the back seat. It was a route she had taken many times before but this time, on the steep hill of the flyover, she suddenly felt incredibly dizzy as if she might pass out. In hindsight, she says, this was probably due to sleep deprivation as her baby was only sleeping a few hours a night. 
Her sister tried to calm her down and they opened the windows and pulled over once they were off the bridge. But the experience was a turning point for Hall, a former self-proclaimed “petrol head”, who used to enjoy motor sports and race tracks and, for the next 15 years, she became terrified of driving up hills in case she passed out.
