If you're talking phobia-type fears, my biggest is high bridges (i.e., the Chesapeake Bay Bridge) in Maryland. That, and high, arcing curves on a super highway. Awful fear of falling off the edge in both cases.

Very similar to mine . . . very similar. See my post #7. These things can provoke a panic attack in me.

heights (more so in tall buildings though, mountains are ok) and being burned ie. trapped in a house or car fire.

Yikes! I drove over that bridge many times when I was young. But about 15 years ago I got stuck on the Eastern Shore with my car, and had to get my brother-in-law to come and get it! {#emotions_dlg.w00t}{#emotions_dlg.unsure}

My biggest fear is not being able to continue doing everything for myself as I age.... {#emotions_dlg.crying}
