I have had a similar issue with driving because I was in a car accident in 2007. What I have done when I feel I am going to have one is find a safe place to pull over for a while untill it passes, but you can not always do that on a freeway. Try taking deep breaths to calm yourself. It could also be helpful to talk to someone professionally about why you are having the panic attacks in the first place. I mean god forbid that you start having one, and it causes an accident. Hope this was helpful. Good luck to you.

I would just drive a lot. Then when you get scared remember those times when you were scared and nothing happened. It also may help to know the statistics such as hours driven all around the country per day or number of drivers to amount of car accidents.

Thank you other people don't seem to understand how frustrating this is. And scary. Hope your doing ok. I didn't get in an accident. But the first time I got one was while on the freeway. The semis scare me I can't have one behind me I have to pull over and let it pass. Not always easy. Thank you for understanding

Think about other things. Keep your mind off of what you might be thinking of that gets you to that place. Play music loud and Jam!!
