Nervous driving for first time on my own?

No need for pooping, especially if you do it smart. You just passed the licence exam, so you seem pretty smart.

The smart thing is, and you probably already knew this, small steps. You're aware that this driving business is serious stuff, literally a matter of life and death whenever you do it, so simply start small.

Small means not making your first time driving solo too crazy. Don't drive downtown at rush hour or do a 4-hour trip down a busy freeway and back, at least not your first time out. Think more like a trip to the store, or maybe over to a friend or family member's place and back. Start with that, get comfortable doing it, and then slowly move up from there. Even a duck must learn how to swim.

That is quite normal and, in many ways, it is a good sign. It means that you will be careful and avoid risks and that is a good way to drive. It took me about three months to not feel nervous at all after I passed my driving test. You could probably improve your confidence by driving short distances around your neighbourhood or somewhere quiet and familiar. I takes practice to learn how your car behaves and how to anticipate what other road users will do so can I suggest you take it steady, don't allow yourself to be intimidated by other road users and observe as much as you can of what is happening around you. You are in charge of your car. If you feel it appropriate to slow down or stop or to wait a moment longer at a junction, that is your choice. You ARE skilled enough to drive safely. Just give yourself time for it to become second nature.

it's just like math- the more you practice, the better you get. practice safely first.
