Why Can't You Tell the Car is Drifting When Driving Straight?

[LaBrianna]

Direction requires fine-tuning: You can move the steering wheel; not moving it doesn't mean the car won't drift. During straight driving, it's necessary to adjust with the steering wheel, adhering to the principle of "early, light, and slight adjustments." Stay relaxed—don't grip the steering wheel too tightly; a light touch makes it easier to maintain control. Before entering straight driving, align the direction first and then avoid making large steering wheel movements. Speed shouldn't be too slow: Many learners mistakenly believe that slower speeds make the car more stable, but this isn't the case. Driving too slowly actually makes the car more prone to drifting. During straight driving, the course is about 100-120m, and the speed should be maintained at 25-35km/h. Of course, you can also choose a gear that suits you for this task, but regardless of the gear, ensure it matches the speed and maintain a steady pace. Look far ahead: When driving straight, focus your gaze as far ahead as possible while using your peripheral vision to monitor the surroundings and mirrors. This helps keep the car straight. Inside the car, human vision can be distorted—only the distant perspective reflects the true scene.
