Beginner Driver Lesson || How to Drive || Trouble keeping your car straight? Attention New Drivers

Hi everyone, welcome to today's video! In this video, I'll be talking about something every novice driver struggles with—keeping your car straight. If you're just starting out, you might notice that your car tends to drift left or right, and this can be dangerous. But don’t worry, I’ll break down some simple tips that will help you stay straight on the road and build confidence behind the wheel.

Key Tips to Keep Your Car Straight:

Relax Your Grip:
"A lot of beginners grip the steering wheel too tightly. This creates tension and makes you more likely to overcorrect. Instead, try to keep a relaxed but firm hold on the wheel. Think of it like holding a water bottle—not too tight, not too loose."

Look Far Ahead:
"One of the biggest mistakes new drivers make is looking directly in front of the car, which can make you focus on small movements. Instead, focus your eyes further down the road. This helps you keep your car centered without needing to constantly adjust."

Use Your Peripheral Vision:
"Your peripheral vision can help you stay aligned with the road. By keeping your main focus ahead, but also being aware of what’s happening around you, you can notice if you start drifting and correct it early."

Avoid Overcorrecting:
"If you feel the car starting to drift slightly, resist the urge to make big, sudden adjustments. Gentle, small corrections are more effective and help you stay in control."

Stay Calm and Practice:
"It’s all about practice. The more you drive, the more natural it will feel. Stay calm, don’t panic if you drift a little, and remember, every great driver started exactly where you are."
