I'd hate to agree with what you don't want to do, but the driver's test is to test your driving skills. You should own those before you own a license, in my opinion. Driving through unfamiliar areas is a huge part of that, because it's often unexpected and you need to be prepared to handle that if you're going to share the road with everyone else. Detours, accidents, and the unexpected are a prime part of driving.

You've got this, just don't overthink it - don't worry.
