How to Align the Car Properly When Driving?
2 Answers
When driving on the road, the first thing is to straighten your body, look straight ahead, and don't be nervous. If the road conditions are relatively good and the toe-in of the car is correct, the vehicle will not deviate during normal driving. Use reference objects to determine whether the vehicle deviates during driving.
When towing a car, I'm most afraid of the vehicle tilting sideways, which can easily lead to hitting roadside obstacles. So I always choose a smooth section of road in advance, avoiding potholes. Before starting, I check if the tire pressure is even to prevent uneven height causing tilting. Having two people cooperate makes towing more stable—the person at the back steadies the rear while I control the direction in front. We apply force in the same direction, avoiding sudden pushes, and move slowly and consistently without rushing. Every few meters, we stop to check the angle and make small adjustments to avoid sharp turns. It's also crucial to check if the wheels are locked, especially the rear ones, to prevent unwanted movement. Since adopting this method, my towing mistakes have decreased. Regular practice improves handling, making it easier to tow the car straight—remember, patience is key.
