It was true for me that the first year of driving sucks, just keep going, drive as much as you can (every day even if it's a short drive). Not only are all the roads new, the lanes, dealing with car problems, garages and mechanics are all new too. But, you'll get there. Other things, just slow down a bit anytime there is something unusual or risky happening on the road, space gives you time. No matter where you are on a drive, remember you just have to do the same small set of things (look, move, signal, gas, brake etc.) Don't worry about pressure you might feel from other drivers, if they're going too fast behind you, let them over take, keep calm always. Good luck, I'm sure you'll love driving before long and find it opens up a new freedom and responsibility in your life.
