I just taught my kid to drive and I'll tell you what I tell her: People make mistakes. They make them all the time. But it takes two cars to get in an accident, the other drivers are trying to avoid you too. Think of all the bad drivers you've dodged over the years. They owe you one.

You're set up for success, even if you make a mistake there's an extra level of safety. The other guy doesn't want to hit you either. The worst you get is an angry beep.

Now consider your car. Modern cars are a wonder of safety. A guy in California just tried to commit suicide with his family driving his Tesla (arguably the shoddiest car) over a cliff into the ocean. No one died. Your air bags will protect you.

I wish I could take you back to the 1970s when I was a boy. My aunt Lil hit something every time she took the car out. Sometimes she barely made it out of the driveway. I guarantee you are a better driver than her. They replaced the fence next to her driveway three times before they just gave up and let it sit broken.
