First, the driver should look straight ahead and pay attention to both sides, must choose a proper reference point to maintain straight driving, timely adjust the direction, and always be aware of various traffic situations ahead, so as to detect and handle them promptly. Techniques for maintaining straight driving: Look far ahead while also paying attention to the near distance and hold the steering wheel correctly. The driver should adjust the viewing distance ahead according to the change in speed. When driving at a higher speed, look farther ahead; when driving at a slower speed, look appropriately closer; and use peripheral vision to occasionally check the surroundings of the vehicle. Operate the steering wheel by pulling with one hand and pushing with the other, keeping both hands steady and natural, with hands shoulder-width apart, and avoid using too much force. When adjusting the direction, steer early and slightly, correcting as needed, using a combination of pulling and pushing with both hands to maintain the vehicle's straight path. Lastly, there are speed requirements: maintain a steady speed for straight driving. Generally, it is advisable to drive at a moderate speed, not exceeding the speed limit, which ensures both driving safety and fuel efficiency. During tests, accelerate or decelerate as required.
