Please, don't be so scared. Driving can be such an amazing experience, unless you are stuck in traffic. It's also very easy, but you must do it responsibly. But really, think of the possibilities: road trips, going where you want and when, also not having to depend on slow public transportation.
1st, try to have more confidence in yourself. You do need to drive defensively, but should not panic while doing so.
2nd, enroll in a driver's education course.
3rd, take the exam. You can practice even more once you have your license until you are ready to be on your own.
I couldn't wait to get my license when I was younger. Since then I have driven trucks, motorcycles, and go off-roading frequently. Learn on an automatic, then try learning manual transmission.
Good luck!

I am the same way!!! I have had mine for 5 years, I know how to drive but I'm scared.... because when I drive people in the car don't think I know what I'm doing so its hard. All I know is that I better get it in 09 when my permits expires becuase im a bad test taker... I kinda cheated on my test in highschool :))
I would say try to put it all behind you and try to do it, Thats what im going to do next month :) to see if I pass...

Get a good friend to go with you or take lessons from a driving school. You just need some confidence. Look at the people who are foreigners or poorly educated. They can drive and so can you. You will be very good at it because you have the sense to be careful.

it can be very scary at first!
but usually the scared drivers are much better than the over-confident ones!
Find a place that is a little deserted--Hard to do if in NYC or LA!!
or a place you know like the back of your hand!
Get use to it--keep the cell phone and radio off --and build some confidence!!
You can do it---Look at all the morons who do!

Just think of this while you are driving. " I am probably not as terrified as the person riding with me"

... I dont know...
...I'm in the same situation as you. I've had my permit for 4 or 5 years now........... I don't know if I will ever actually get my licenses. It kinda freaks me out.
