Re: Fear of driving
I was a terrified driver too. I have no idea how I survived driver's ed, but my teacher flat out told me that I was the worst driver in the car.
Now, several years later, my mother just told me that I am a very confident driver. It felt like the biggest compliment 
Really, the best way to go about it is to just practice. Yes, that's stating the obvious. But you want to set yourself up for success and not put too much pressure on yourself right out the gate.
If you can, start practicing during times when there's not much traffic about, either late at night or out in the country. Just keep going out for a drive until you feel fairly comfortable, then start moving to places with a little more traffic, then a little more, etc. Definitely practice parking with no one around, then move up to more congested areas.
Like most things in life, it's just something you have to get a feel for and build up your confidence.
