Dont worry I'm sure you'll be fine. When I took the test I had to go around a rotary, do a 3 point turn and back up in a straight line. Plus a little regular driving around. I live in Mass though, it's different everywhere. Good Luck!

go see a doctor.. u sound like u have anxiety problems..lol jk =x you are def over reacting tho. your parents and teachers prolly told you that every1 who drives in a car dies and it is really hard to drive and yackidy-yack... my advice : ignore them. not that they are wrong, the risk is THERE, but not as big as they say it is.. they just dont want to find you on the side of the road, and it is more about them not being able to monitor you for the first time because it is your first time being somewhat independant. I lean back in my car and just daze off when i drive and nothing has happened to me. why? because im not dumb and i dont drink and drive. If you are anxious and tense when driving, then you are just going to tense up and not listen to what your gut is telling you, instead you will try and remember what pg. 32 of your handbook for teen driving says about what to do in this situation.. and in that time you will have a nice whole in your frontend. i failed my first permit test miserably.. w/e i just went back the next day and aced it. its not really a big deal.. worst thing that happens is you lose 30 dollars or w/e. the only time you should seem anxious is when your taking your test... dont really be nervous..just act it so that when you mess something up a little the cop will just think your nervous becuase your ina car with a cop taking a license test =D. my best advice STOP PRACTICING!! your just freaking yourself out and triggering yourself to think about it more. My first driving lesson i was nervous as heck becuase i pictured the guy next to me as judging me and i acted like he was some really official smart guy that was teaching me how to drive this monsterous killing machine. But then i realized... thats rediculous.. ive gone driving plenty of times in my last 6 months and i can handle light driving and doing some "menuvers." what is a menuever anyways? you put the car in drive, then in reverse? WALLAH! a 3 point turn! .. lol its almost funny.. by the 4th session or so i was really chill with my instructor and i even drove around town and showed him some shortcuts and places lol... if you are confortable in the car and treat it like its part of you, youll be all set. No i dont mean like a crazy person who thinks they are jesus, i mean if your walking down the sidewalk and theres a trash barrel infront of you then you take a step to the right and keep walking... same idea with a car.. if something randomly happens (not like a drunk guy randomly ramming you.. you cant help that but it will prolly never happen) adapt by moving over or something and continue. your two front feet are the wheels and your running... its all good.. just relax and ull be fine.. hope that helped! .. god now i feel like a therapist.. just trying to spread the love!

Practice more on your driving.Always pay attention to the road and your surroundings.You should never think your the best driver and will not have a wreck because it is very possible for anyone to be involved in a accident.It is Ok to be somewhat worried that something may happen because it just very well could.Be careful and dont tense up from being overly worried

Have you tried a couple of good, stiff belts before getting behind the wheel? I find that a bit of a buzz really helps calm jittery nervers.

Take a deep breath and relax. Try to concentrate. Get a good night's sleep the night before and don't drink and caffine (soda, coffee, etc) right before so you aren't jittery.

just relax all you need to do is concentrate, and act like the driver instructor is not their. And remember he is probably just as nervous as you are. He or she is probably a heavy smoker and drinker LOL. When you see your driving instructor look for a small alcohol bottle lol.
