Cyrus 'scared' of driving instructor

Miley Cyrus has confessed to being "scared" of her driving instructor.

The Hannah Montana star is hoping to pass her driving test ahead of her 16th birthday this Sunday, but has admitted to finding lessons difficult.

She said: "My driving instructor scares me. We're driving along and he'll say to me, 'What's going to happen if you make a left turn?' I'll say, 'I dunno' and then he'll go, 'Bang - that's going to happen to your brand new car'. He just starts hitting things."

The Disney star added that she dislikes having to drive her teacher's vehicle because it carries a prominent warning sign.

"It doesn't help that I have this great big sign on the car saying 'student driver'," she said. "Someone threw a banana at me the other day."
