Just close your eyes and hope for the best
Yes I have a road bike.
Make sure you get good training. When you pass your test, try having a ride-out with police motorcyclists
(there's a scheme but can't remember the name of it - google police bike training).
Always be aware of the vehicles around you. Wear a high-viz vest or similar.
Enjoy!!!

It's not just cars either terrified of getting a puncture in the middle of nowhere
Oh i like the look of that, I have red/orange vodoo myself fancy getting something more suitable for the roads, as I think after the initial fear I'd enjoy it and use it more, I use mountain bike down canal near me and cannock chase sometimes, but it's a bit of a ridge just to get there (chase)

Could always save up and buy one of those "smart bikes" I suppose then I don't have to leave the house & use Zwift
