How To Drive Centered In Your Lane - "FunnelVision" + Other Helpful Tips!
One of the basic skills that all drivers need to master is how to drive centered in your lane. This is something that especially concerns new drivers, and if they happen to drift into another lane during their driving test, they could get an automatic fail. It's also something that experienced drivers could use a refresher on, and it's never too late to simply try to improve the skills you already have. In this video, I offer you some tips on how to make it easier to stay in the center of your lane, no matter what type of road you're on. Once you learn this important driving skill, you'll be more confident behind the wheel, and you'll also be a safer driver. Thanks for watching, and as always, drive safe!

Thank goodness for people like you who actually identify problems and then explain actionable things to do to fix them. Seems like competent driving instructors are a rarity.

[@HowSkills]

I always hope my videos do actually help somebody become a better, safer driver.

[@AliJoanPlans]

These videos and others helped me get over my anxiety and pass my test today for the first time with only 3 minors 🎉

[@HowSkills]

Great job and congratulations! You did great on your test! KZbin is a great resource for learning a lot of things.

[@AliJoanPlans]

@@HowSkills thank you so much for your videos and great explanation

The part about reference points is ingenious. Quite possibly the most helpful advice I’ve ever heard

[@oluwaseunpopoola3032]

Thanks, the ehrmantraut voice is soothing

[@HowSkills]

Lol! I keep trying to do the best Mike I can!

[@charitkondepati8652]

Wow. Really informative. Thank you for making these.

[@khansandra]

Thank you so much for this insightful lesson Sir!!!

[@inyobill]

Of course, good advice and instruction. I center in my lane, if appropriate. Often, especially driving in the narrow, obstructed roads here in Germany, it makes sense not to center. Driving in the states, I adjust my position in my lane also based on conditions. If I am approaching a vehicle that is wandering in their lane, and it is clear away from their lane, I have no problem shifting my position away from them to provide maximum air betyween me and them. If you can't see past the vehicle ion front of you, you're following too close.

[@HowSkills]

Very good observations and advice! I’ve been driven by others in Germany, but never had the opportunity to drive there myself. I hope to some day though!

[@inyobill]

@@HowSkills I'm sure your firends briefed you on the laws specific here. The rules are just similar enough to get you in trouble if you're not aware of the specifics. California doesn't have a reciprocal agreement with Germany, so we were not able to exchange our California licences for German. After taking the training, we decided that the reciprocal agreements are not good ideas.

[@chiefmalkallam5674]

Great video as always, love the in depth way you explain no matter how “Simple” something is

[@HowSkills]

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I’m afraid I tend to over-explain sometimes!

[@nolackj6682]

⁠@@HowSkillsthat can be great, it gives a deeper explanation.

[@NimbusArcega]

Thank you so much for the driving tips 😊

[@elevatorfan125]

I have seen drivers ride down the middle of the road when there is no center line on a 2 lane road. You need to make sure that you stay on your side of the road on an undivided 2 lane road if it is a 2 way street

[@inyobill]

Weird that it makes sense to post that advice. Sigh.

[@sarahruthsdayoff]

Thank you for sharing how to keep on the center of the road.

Thank you so much for this video! I am a beginner driver, and I found these tips very helpful :)

[@HowSkills]

You’re welcome, and I’m glad to hear it helped!

[@colinjava8447]

I just visualize a line going down the centre of the lane and position myself just to the right of it (uk driver here). I think being a nervous driver whilst learning can help, at least for me, cause I always have both hands on the wheel (car is automatic) and I never take my eyes off the road. If I need to press a button, I won't do it in one go, I'll get my finger near the button first, then eyes on the road, then I'll glance back to the button and press it, this is much safer than taking your eyes off the road for the entire duration of the button press.

[@bellebelle689]

Thank you sooooooo much!

[@HowSkills]

You’re welcome…I hope it helped!

[@pv.unmesh3203]

Thanks ❤

[@user-ug6ef1rr8g]

Thanks a lot.

[@MakkerDon]

if you dont sit in the center of your vehicle, then looking in the center of the road you are not centered but of to one side, your first point only works for vehicles were you sit in the center of the vehicle

[@josephmigila267]

thank you

[@kamonpornperdrix7562]

thank very much

[@waqaskhan6000]

thanks sir

[@Raven_704]

[@HowSkills]

Best of luck for you tomorrow, and I hope the video helped. It’s one of those things that will get easier for you with time and practice.

[@yassinechouaf2161]

Thank you so much guys please Don’t forget like

[@KatiesDreamShinies]

Can you make a video for controlling speeds and learning how far to stop in snow or icy conditions?

[@HowSkills]

I will put that on my list! Thank you for the suggestion…that’s a good one.

[@user-jj9bt5xk3l]

do you have any tips for reducing anxiety while driving? i get fatigued easily even from short drives from it

[@HowSkills]

To reduce anxiety whiIe driving, first be sure you're physically as comfortable as you can be. Always make sure your seat is comfortably adjusted, so that you aren't stretching your feet/legs to reach the pedals, or your arms aren't fully extended just to reach the steering wheel. Your wrists should be able to rest on top of the steering wheel when you're in your driving position with your seatbelt on. On long trips on the highway/interstate with extended stretches of open road with few vehicles around, I've seen others recommend that you drive with your hands down in the 8 and 4 position. That way, there's less strain on your hands from reaching up higher on the wheel. Of course, return your hands to 9 and 3 when passing other vehicles, or when you're in heavy traffic, or exiting or entering the roadway. To reduce anxiety, put soothing music on, or for some people, no music at all is better, or a podcast or an audiobook is more relaxing. Leave yourself a cushion of safety around you by not following too closely behind other vehicles. Don't speed, and if it's nighttime, don't overdrive your headlights. Again, give yourself that cushion of safety by not going so fast that you have very little time to react if you suddenly see something in your headlights in the middle of your lane. I'm sure others could add to what I've said, and give you some better ideas, and I hope they do that in the comments. Take care, and thank you for even asking this question.

[@barbaramayer5182]

Thanks for the reminder, pray before driving every time. Crazy drivers on the Thanks for the reminder to pray before every drive. Crazy drivers out there.

[@samirhamza7804]

Don't clench hard on steering wheel, set and let your back relax on the seat, stay in the right lane and drive slow and don't think about others cars behind you they can always overtake you if they wanna run, make your eye vision to be wide don't just look at the lane infront of your car hood, if you drive MT car no need to press on clutch everytime you wanna slow down the car and push brakes and at the end it's okay to make small mistakes we all do even drivers with many years experience still do small mistakes. Or forget all what I said and just go drive in Egypt for a while you will be professional dtiver and fear nothing :D

[@josiew.8383]

Driving everyday helps with practice. I let my husband drive everywhere for years and I lost practice

[@manahil8236]

I like this most useful video

[@HowSkills]

Glad to hear that, and thanks for watching!

[@NoSc0pe78yearsago]

This was a big fault on my driving test that I failed the first time, examiner had me go down a narrow road with no lines painted & I was driving in the middle when it was actually a two way street she had to tell me to move to the right🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Hypnotized81]

Great advice... Look where you want to go...🙄🤦 Just keep your left leg at the center of your lane. That's how you stay centered.

[@Katie_Plays]

Can you make a video on how to drive in rain at night?

[@HowSkills]

That’s a great idea, and I’ll put that in my list of videos to make. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@hshs9335]

مرحبا ممكن شرح كيفية معرفة قياس الجهة اليمنى من السيارة...مع الشكر

[@mbogitechconpts]

That was me. I started well and made a mistake just 1 minute or so into the test at a complex roundabout. The rest of the test went well but that one mistake failed me. It was not as serious oh. I passed the test 13 days later with 2 minors. Now I am a full manual UK driver and cruising. Watch me driving here kzbin.info/www/bejne/anmwhIeOg956d8Usi=Ldvr5WVyjnjEoyWG

[@barbaramayer5182]

Stealing grips have to be changed periodically to avoid going numb

[@cantsay]

I wish i could get my husband to watch this. When he drives he slowly swerves back and forth. It took me a ehilr to figure it out, but he is focusing right infront of his bumper. Ive tried to nudge that he should foxus farther up the road, but I dont want to nag so said it once and let it lay... back and forth...back and forth....

[@HowSkills]

That's about all you can do...suggest he do something different, and leave it at that if he won't. Maybe someday he'll make the change.

[@alrizo1115]

Usually, if your steering wheel is at the center of both lines, you're centered

[@BobBob-eh5sb]

And if you’re looking down at your phone it’s a crap shoot as to which way you’ll go.

[@vengi1485]

Yippee

[@LindsayClothier11]

New car

[@thomasjones3206]

If you are in an outside lane being centered is not desirable

[@user-gc6el6ud6g]

[@Superstar-nl5tl]

why can't we drive straight if we look to the side? this seems like a defect in humans

[@elinesthermagnusdottir1556]

We can. It just takes some practice.

[@HowSkills]

That’s true…it can be done. You have to practice it and train yourself to keep the wheel straight when you look to left or the right. Otherwise, we do tend to go towards the direction we’re looking.

[@emmaarcher]

the problem is the steering wheel is on the wrong side & your driving on the wrong side of the road

[@mmctinescu]

Looks like you don't have side mirrors, buddy! You short video is useless, sorry to tell you.
