this happen to me too it turns out with me and my friends after you do the test and drive a little longer u become more chill and drive like its nothing. i used to be nervous and having both hands on the steering wheels going the speed limit worry if im going to hit the car in fornt of me (im 5'3" as well ) and all that but now i speed i do things like nothing with a lot of practice of course i still dont know how to paralle park tho need more practice on that even tho when i can i get someone else to do it. i guess what im trying to say here is the more u know how to do something the less tense u will be. just practice practice practice

I hope you don't mind. I'm going to answer you question with onother question. Ok, Girl here we go first of all, what are you afraid of? If you are a fraid of being driving a car why bored having a driving license? One thing you need to be sure on the road there are a lot crazy, mad, wild and extreme people driving in this days. Your life and the life of others will depend on you. Please once you are on the wheel forget about everything concentrate in what you are doing and don't thing about any accidents. You drive like a normal person and always always be positive. Also you (might laugh)about what I am goint to say: go out the city where there aren't any cars and use the car like a toy meaning that you can go more thant 90 miles without fear. Feel free to use it cars were designed to run! Medicine can help but do not depend on it. It could affect your health. Also, watch the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" It will help help you. Good look.

You're thinking too much. And don't worry about seeing the front of the car. You should be looking down the road. Yes, parking will be tricky at first, especially if you're petite, but you'll get a feel for it.
But really, stop thinking too much. It's causing you to focus on everything that could go badly instead of letting you be present and react as necessary.
Good luck!

Its natural. Everyone is nervous when they first start to drive but practice and confidence takes that fear away. Just keep on practicing and leave fear at the door but also be careful.

It might be because statistically, driving is by far the most dangerous thing regular folks do. Just relax...
