A brave learner driver who says he was viciously attacked in an Adelaide road rage attack has told 9News he is now too scared to get behind the wheel again.
Jacob Trench was driving with his mother and a friend along the North-South Motorway when they were allegedly set upon by two men.
The 19-year-old says he was lashed on the back with a metal rod and he also received a cut to his head from a sharp object, needing stitches for the injury.

"Yes I'm scared, yes I'm nervous, my legs are shaking," Mr Trench told 9News.
Mr Trench's mother, Amanda, was also allegedly attacked, saying she was punched through the passenger window before her son and his friend were set upon.
"I had black eyes, I looked like an alien. I had an 'egg' on the side of my face, I was dizzy for days afterwards," Ms Trench said.
"I felt helpless, absolutely helpless."
Mr Trench said the pair tailgated his car for over 10 minutes last month, forcing him to pull over near the Bolivar exit, hoping they would speed off. But instead the van allegedly pulled up behind them.

"I didn't spark them in any way, I was just learning to drive, sticking to the road rules," Mr Trench said.
Today, 23-year-old Amman Almasmmoum and 49-year-old Radwan Masmoum appeared in court after they were arrested at a Mitchell Park home after allegedly fleeing the scene of the attack.
They were granted conditional bail and are next expected to appear in court in August.
