    A good tip is this: imagine your right shoulder is aligned with the center of the lane. This applies to right or left side steering wheel vehicles. I align my side view mirrors with the rear corner of the vehicle. This gives maximum outward views . I used the shoulder with center of lane alignment with tractor trailer, bus, and standard vehicle.

    OMG!!! What a coincidence!! I just drove home from training my daughter with her new permit and she is struggling a bit with straying from her lane. I landed here for some techniques and tips and realized that I had just drove down the same streets in Kendall Fl. as this video 😆😆. The tips were great, thanks for sharing!

    I love this video. I just got started driving a few months. I already got my permit. I've already gotten my permit, and I'm about to go take my road test next Wednesday. But outside of my road test, I'd be on the road, and sometimes I feel swirly, but I'm trying hard. I am on my way to get my CDL Did I mention I have a disability Cerebral palsy

    Thanks for the video. I have been driving for 30+ years, accident free and very confident of my driving skills. Until 5 days ago, when I rented an OPEL CORSA, driving from Nice to Paris, France. The car steering wheel kept trying to turn at random times. I thought that it was lane departure waring system moving the car away from nearby vehicles or the metal road barrier. After about 700KM (435 Mil) , and the road all but clear of other vehicles, I was now convinced that there was something wrong with the vehicle steering. I stopped at a truck stop and tried to call the company's support, but the provided phone number was out of service! Frustrated, I continued with the journey to Paris. Then I noticed something. On the dash display console, two green lines appeared whenever the car was properly centered on the lane, with no more ghost steering!. This video has taught me an important lesson on how to keep the vehicle centered on the lane. Which, as I learned in France, makes it easier to keep going at 130KM/H (way more faster than my local limit of 100KM/H)

    Honestly, the easiest way is to just look where you want to go. Look as far as you can see, and look at the center of the 2 lines.
    You don't look on your sides when you walk right? You look where you want to go. Same for driving.
    You look where you want your car to be in, and your hands will do the rest.

    Good video overall - I did struggle, when you indicated to have hands on the wheel at 9 & 3 … which is of course correct … but your grip in the video was 10 & 2. 10&2 - no good for you (if airbags deploy fists/hands get forced into eyes!! 9 & 3 is where to be!! Thumbs up for city driving- rural / highway & expressway I say it’s ok to rest your thumbs in the top notches right & left - easier to keep the car going in line.

    Hey, I did find this some helpful information with an issue I was having as a newer driver... which is me changing lanes, looking over my shoulder, and then drifting out of my lane while doing so. But I will try this technique of not staring for too long next time I go driving.
    Another issue I am having is maintaining my speed without looking at the speedometer too much. If I am in a 25MPH speed limit, I'd be going 25, then I could take my eyes off the speedo for 10 seconds and look back. Suddenly, I'd be over 30MPH. It really didn't feel like I was going that fast. But it might be all the traffic around me going faster so I usually just go with it when I am not looking at my speedometer.
    I could be wrong about this, but can this in any way be manageable?
