Is it normal to be scared of driving at first?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s very normal to feel scared when you’re first learning to drive. You’re handling a new skill with real responsibilities, and confidence usually grows with practice.

Driving can feel like a lot at first: there are rules to remember, other cars to watch, and a big machine involved. Feeling nervous doesn’t mean you’re bad at it or that you’ll always feel this way.

It often gets easier as you practice, especially in quiet areas with a calm, patient instructor or passenger. Take it one step at a time; you don’t have to feel completely confident before you start.
