Scared of driving

Hi all! Not sure why I’m posting this thread - maybe for some stories of success or to motivate me to actually book the lessons.

I am absolutely terrified of driving. I passed many many many years ago at 18 and haven’t driven since. I wasn’t a very confident learner and I did pass and felt over the moon. But now I just absolutely lack confidence.

We are moving somewhere a bit more rural and so I’ll really need to drive for the sake of my DC. But I’m terrified of even doing refresher lessons - I feel scared that I’ll crash, won’t know if I’m too close to a car etc. and that I’ll be the worst “learner” the instructor has seen.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have any advice?
