How to Drive Straight When Learning to Drive?
1 Answers
Here are the techniques for driving a car straight: 1. Look ahead: The first thing to learn about driving straight is to look ahead, preferably at a point about 100 meters in front. Many beginners struggle with this because they tend to focus on their own driving actions inside the car. 2. Pay attention to gear coordination: Before driving straight after a turn, try to stay in 3rd gear and apply slight brake pressure while turning. Otherwise, if you downshift to turn and then immediately need to upshift for straight driving, you may become flustered and fail to align the car properly. 3. Accelerate to the required speed in advance: Factors such as incorrect wheel alignment, uneven tire wear, or uneven force applied to the steering wheel can cause the car to drift during acceleration or deceleration. The correct approach is to accelerate to the required speed before entering the straight driving assessment area and then maintain a steady speed. 4. Make fine adjustments: The key to fine adjustments is not to let the force from your shoulders and elbows transfer to the steering wheel, as even slight tremors can be amplified. The correct method is to relax and hold the wheel steadily. Fine adjustments must be made early; as soon as you notice a slight misalignment between the car's position and the lane markings, you should start adjusting immediately.
