Patient concerns

Since I have turned 18, i am scared of driving a car. I have a fear of running a car over someone. Even when I sit beside my family member who is driving a car i feel the same fear of running the car over someone. However when I am in taxi or with a friend who is driving a car i don't feel any fear irrespective how fast the car is running. I want to drive, how should I get over the fear of running over somebody?
