Why is thom yorke afraid of cars?

Answer 1

Because he was in two very dangerous car accidents. This quote should explain. "I've been in two accidents myself. One was serious, and I could have died. I was really young, and I had just got a car and spun it off the road, and was very near to being hit by two other cars coming the other way. I missed them by inches. Then you have that thing where you walk away from the car and you just ask yourself, 'Well, why am I lucky? Why am I allowed to walk away from this?' when you constantly hear of friends who die in car accidents for no reason. It f*cks with my head completely. The day we have to stop getting in cars will be a very good day."
