1. Pick a driving instructor that you are comfortable with, this will help with your nerves massively if you can can get on and feel safe with your instructor. 

2. Keep yourself busy right until your driving lesson so you don't have time to think about it and panic, watch some TV or read a book. 

3. Talk to your driving instructor, don't be afraid to ask lots of questions even if you think they are silly, they are there is help you and want you to do your best!
