Overcoming the fear of driving

When I got my drive license, I thought I would be able to hop in the car and start driving nice and good. However, instead of getting more experience with driving the car at slow speed, I drove on a highway which led me to feel pretty nervous about driving in general since my body was not accustomed to high speeds.
From that point on, my legs would shake out of fear even with the mere thought of driving. I acquired my drive license back in 2017, but never really drove with consistency. As the time went by, I began to think that my incapability of driving could keep me from getting the job that I aimed.
So, I decided to build a plan in order to overcome the fear of conducting a vehicle. I started off just by sitting in the driver seat so that the car would become something familiar and not foreign. Over the course of two weeks, I just had sat in the car until I asked my father to help me out with driving. We began slow, and little by little I was driving longer distances.
Since in my country most of the cars have a manual stick, I needed to improve coordination when manipulating the stick. I would occasionally misplace the stick or not step on the clutch properly. But over time this became less often, and I started to drive on highways again.
But only this time, I did not feel the pressure and was doing just fine despite being a little tense. Now, two months down the line, I can tell have no unreasonable fear of driving. With that all being said, I believe the best way to get over a fear is to just gradually face it as you get more comfortable.

I think "hop in the car" already conveys this. You could say "I thought I would be able to hop in the car and JUST start driving" to emphasize that.
