I am female, 16 and have my permit. I want my licence so bad, I want to go out and do things without my parents. Now, I'm not afraid to drive as much as I'm afraid that I'll get hurt or worse, hurt someone else. I don't know why, but I think about that and I feel like I never want to get my licence. But I want to be able to drive on my own I just have a big fear holding me back and I don't know how to get rid of it! Any ideas to help me get over this fear and just go do it, just go out and drive? Thanks (link)

Yeah, tooling around in a 2000 or more pound piece of metal can be scary in a sense because of the damage you can do. But just relax, always look over your shoulder to make lane changes (can't trust your mirrors because they have blind spots) and stay within the speed limit, leave a good gap between you and the car in front of you and you should be golden.
One more thing: when at the front of a lefthand turn, when the light changes to green, wait a second before proceeding into the intersection in order to ensure that no drunk drivers or felons fleeing the cops are speeding through it. I have been driving for 35 years and haven't had any accidents. So you can take my advice to the bank.
