I think you see fear as paralysing and handicapping while I see it as a safeguard against complacency and carelessness. It's a spectrum, we could agree there can be healthy amounts. While I get you point about mental and physical breakdown, paracetamol overdose [0] for instance is a fairly common thing. Too many people see it at the same level as coffee or a redbull, when it's something else altogether. Same for people abusing antibiotics, whith far reaching consequences going way beyond a single person's stress level. For driving, sure too much fear depletes mental resources. But currently we are around 1.3 billion people just for the death count each year, and the majority of accidents occur on short daily trips on well know roads, from lack of focus and stress.
