There really is no need for you to have any worries. If you have never sat behind the wheel of a car your instructor certainly won't expect you to get in and drive at the start of the first lesson.

Your instructor will arrive for your lesson at your home address at the arranged time, where you'll take a seat in the passenger side of the car.
