The only accident I had was turning left on my first ride and I went down at very slow speed. I am very lucky that I live on the central coast in California and there are 1000's of miles of roads here with very little traffic and amazing scenery so I can't really comment on cars noticing me. My scariest experience was rounding a corner and seeing a family of deer crossing the road.
My advice would be to practice around your neighbourhood and in parking lots doing low speed maneuvers and then some nice twisty back roads to really get used to shifting and leaning into turns.
