automatic driving

Hi everyone
I'm 27 very nearly 28and I've recently started my driving lessons, it's never something I've been bothered about before but it's becoming a nessacite in my life for work and childcare etc.
I'm having my 4th lesson tonight, my instructor is great, lots of patcience and aware of my deslexia and despraxia. I understandably felt quite anxious on my first lesson but this has lessened, it's still there but not as bad. I feel a lurch of anxiety when I go to get into the drivers seat but I think this is normal?!
I asked my instructor if it was normal to be this nervous and he said I was more nervous then most. I am driving, just a little quiet back roads and making turns and doing small junctions, but I voice my panic, which is just the way I am, I'm very vocal and I tend just to say what I'm thinking lol. So when I'm driving and a car is coming towards me I start saying 'theres another car, am I ok' and worrying that the other car is going to crash into me, bearing in mind Im only going like 20mph at most lol.
Is this normal? How can I get over my nervous? Any tips?
My worry is that I'll do something stupid and cause an accident or make others drivers annoyed coz I'm going so slowly!
Any tips would be great?! I want to pass my test asap
