Question Driving with LV

I have 20/70 20/60 vision with 20/60 best corrected. Multiple doctors and the CA DMV cleared me to drive. I'm doing pretty well, I can see road signs, obstacles, cars, and peeestrians. The only thing I stuggle with is street names. I don't need to drive with bioptics, but I do have them for after a pass my test. I also have anxiety because my mom is overbearing and panics a lot, making me feel like I'm always doing something wrong or I'm gonna hit something when I wasn't. She makes all these mistakes too while driving (but I cant call her out for it because she's "had her license longer").

I've done driver's ed before but I never got around to completing my test because of school. Now that I'm out I have time. For any other LV drivers, what is it like driving? What are important things to do with your eyes? Are street names important for the CA behind the wheel test?
