I have begun driving consistently every weekend since 4 weeks in my first car and am making few mistakes over and over. I hope this is right place to post this.
Following are the mistakes I am finding difficult to prevent:
1. I get blinded when joining a right turn into traffic from left side due to Front Passenger and Passenger-side B-Pillar (I hope you got idea). I find this much more dangerous than blinding reported by people due to A-Pillar.

2. I find difficult to judge the distance b/w my car and car in front left side in close slow traffic(esp those cars which have low height in comparison to mine). So have clapped my left ORVM/body with their right ORVM many times(had to pay for breaking ones ORVM once :Frustrati).

3. Taking 90 tight degree turn using a lot of gap (is this ok?). The below picture will make it clear:

4. Starting car up an incline without rolling backwards at-all (esp at traffic-lights with cars behind). I tend to either stall my car or give too much throttle with clutch. Also forget handbrake on at-times .
5. Cannot park my car at close spaces without anyone assisting me.
Helpful Advice/links to prevent/reduce the above mistakes will be highly appreciated.

Apart from above, other mistake I made once/twice due to my utmost silliness:
– Leaving Passenger side Window fully rolled down one evening when parking in front of house. Discovered the mistake next morning only.
