This goes away after a while. Studies have shown that new drivers try to focus on everything, while experienced drivers only focus on key points.
As a result, experienced drivers get in less accidents.
Basically you get a sixth sense for driving. But you need a big corpus of data for that.

Before that I'd have to look at the thing like painting. I don't trust my 6th sense though, I often drop too fast too deep in the confident state.
