Bot it shouldn't. Nor should you be complacenent, but it should be an interesting prospect. Are you afraid of driving the car to/from the airfield ? That's more challenging. In the plane you have height to think about things, a mile of runway to land on, the ability to Go Around and try again, a pro on the radio organising everyone around, etc. Finish the lesson, get in the car, out of the gate, and you are driving down a main road at pretty much landing speed missing all those oncoming at a closing speed of 120mph by just a few feet. And they are all amateurs. Forward visibility is nothing in comparison.
