Cutinphobia

There are two types of cutinphobias: Positive cutinphobia and negative cutinphobia.

Positive cutinphobia: While driving a 4-wheeler, unfortunately if you are on a wrong lane, if you have to change the lane to take turn then you find it difficult as there are no gaps maintained between vehicles (not side by side but back to front). Indicator does not yield people giving way. They usually think that you want change lane because you want to move ahead. The fear to cutin in this scenario is positive cutinphobea. Being in wrong line happens usually because of bumper to bumper traffic never get chance to get into the correct lane. Some times, unaware of which turn to take a left/right turn in advance also a possibility that you are on a wrong lane.

Negative cutinphobia: While driving 4-wheeler, according to safety rules you need to keep a safe distance from front vehicle. But you can't do that as people just make cutin and get in between. Usually, riksha, bikes are potential cutinners, many a times yellow number plated white indica or tata sumos also do the cutin tasks. To avoid that happening every now and then you try to keep the distance between the fron vehicle and yours as few inches as possible and keep looking around if somebody is cutting in. The fear that somebody might cutin in such scenarios is negative cutinphobia.
