There is a rather sad, local story about an arachnophobic Llanelli GP who lost control of her sports car when a spider dropped from the sun visor (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2909692/Arachnophobic-GP-killed-pensioner-crash-panicking-spider-landed-lap-drove-sports-car.html). This appears to have resulted in the death of a pensioner following a collision with his car. It is, perhaps, worth emphasising that no species of native UK spider is actually dangerous to humans (although I appreciate that archnophobes are not concerned with issues like this). The spider shown inhabits rooms in the Indian Himalayas. It is big and hairy but also harmless to our species.
