When i am driving, i have the strong urge to intentionally crash my car. i fantasize about it, is this normal or a symptom of something serious?

Not normal: See a psychiatrist at once! You have suicidal ideation. This is not a sign of good mental health! Get help immediately! This is no joke!

Not normal: If you have no actual desire to harm yourself- and you have recurrent upsetting thoughts about this - it could be part of an obsessive compulsive disorder. If you really do desire to harm or kill yourself, or some one else - that is serious. Either merit psychological evaluation.
