I learned how by driving a forklit and truck for a job and racing dune buggies on the weekend. After those, a sedan on paved roads is a cakewalk.
Just drive somewhere with little to no cars for a while and the nerves just go away eventually. However, Miami drivers still freak me the fuck out sometimes. Barely anyone uses turn signals(not even cops) and people drive crazy.

I'm 23 and kinda scared of driving.
I mean I haven't really tried it and I'm sure it's piss-easy, but to be honest I'm down with public transport (only wish it was a bit better in the UK, Switzerland is awesome for public transport I've heard). There's something inherently wrong with the attitude everybody has towards cars- when I'm walking to work I see car after car whizzing past with zombified people alone at the wheel, its like a big fucking miserable robotic conveyor belt spewing filth and noise into my living space. There are two many roads and too many dumbfuck, fat, angry motorists. There are too many people killed on the roads. You can be the safest driver ever but all it takes is one retard in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't understand fast cars, there's a speed limit! When you roll up in your £50,000 car I don't think "Damn, that's one cool motherfucker right there", I just kinda think you're a bit of a bell-end.
Don't get me wrong, cars are downright necessary for some people but I reckon it has gone far enough, spending more on providing decent, safe efficient public transport would make a nicer world for everybody. Instead of this "my slot on the conveyor belt is shinier and noisier than your slot, look at the size of my penis!" attitude.
When I need to drive I'll learn, till then I'm gonna enjoy not being part of the 'just for the sake of it' mob.
