Two things at play. You've got to trust the process that you've been through and trust them, which I'm sure you do.
If you adhered ( as well as most of us do ) to the learning aspect, racking up day time and night time hours, teaching them your bad habits
and getting some lessons while not short cutting the driving time I'm sure some parents do ( if any hours at all ) then you've given them the grounding they need. If you racked up 55-60 of the 70 hours that's some time you've put in.
Now it's down to them and you know what makes them tick. In the early days with curfews and passenger limit's it's unlikely they'll have 3 or 4 kids in the car egging them on, well, they can't, so they ( he ) will be making careful consideration as to who gets in the car with him. If you know his close mates, if you know how they operate you should be more at ease.
It is stressful but you've got to trust the process that is far more intensive than anything I ever went through and I think both Junior and Miss are better drivers at that age than I was because of it.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
