(Remember that a dream may be either depicting patterns of behaviour that already exist or recommending to you a new pattern). If some else is driving, the dream may be expressing your over dependence on others.

(2) A car may be a sexual symbol, representing the penis (rare) - especially if forceful motion is emphasized in the dream, or if the car is travelling through a tunnel.

The crash may express a (hidden) fear of mental breakdown, in which case you ought to seek help.
