Most of the fear comes from the fact that new class A drivers have a tendency to drive too far to the right of the lane and that makes the passenger feel like she is going off the side of the road. If you don't believe it, try riding in that passengers seat and Have a new driver drive while you experience what it feels like. So to make it more comfortable for her, try and hug the center line a little more, which will in turn give her a better feeling that you are not going to run off the road on her side. The feeling is worse if there is guard rails on either side and no shoulder. practice and maybe have her ride on the couch for a few times until she gets used to it.
Excellent response.
I might add. Think about driving with your right foot on the grease mark in the center of the lane. I know it sounds screwy but it will help. You can also check your lane position by comparing the lane markers with the side mirrors. Or check you lane position with the rear view camera.
