"GUARANTEED Pass Your Road Test "First Time"
These driving tips will help you to centre your vehicle in the lane while driving straight, turning right, or turning left. By looking farther down the road and keeping your eyes moving the vehicle will centre in the traffic lane.
When turning, you may have to slow. If the turn is sharp you will have to slow to keep the vehicle in the lane. The slower you go with any vehicle, the sharper the vehicle turns.
On left hand turns at complex intersections pick out your landmarks before you begin to turn. With landmarks to guide you, you can simply look farther down the road and proceed to drive the vehicle through the turn.
For a quick reference to check if your vehicle is centred in the lane, look to see if the "fog line" is positioned on the front right corner of the vehicle. Use that reference point every now and again to check the vehicle's positioning in the lane.
Good luck on your road test!

One thing that a teacher told me to help stay centered is to keep your right leg aligned with the center of the lane as it is almost the middle of the car. It really helped me.

[@cece826]

[@sologangtim4294]

@Smart Drive Test I passed thanks to you only thing you have to do is drive and make the examiner not have a reason to fail you

[@dragmac9442]

I just drove today and my dad said I was too close to the curb. Thank you for this tip! I would always just look down the hood and never look far enough to see future hazards. The next time I drive I will definitely look further and have landmarks when turning.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi DragMac - thanks for your comment. Yes, centring the vehicle in the lane can be a challenge at the beginning. Looking farther down the road should clear up your challenge. If there's anything further we can do, drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@e-jaythesupreme1504]

My Uncle said the same thing yesterday. This video was a big help!

[@muganziaiden]

This is a confidence boost. I love the practicality of your tip. Aim as high as possible with your vision. Great. Hopefully I'll pass my test in Qatar. Thanks

[@star-monkey]

Thanks for your videos. I've been watching to help with my driving anxiety- sometimes just thinking about driving sends me into a panic attack. These videos are helping me become more comfortable with concepts. I'm in Ontario and my G1 expires this Summer. I'm thinking of using the time to get comfortable with driving.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi DB Cooper - Thank you for your comment. And you got this; you can do this driving thing.

If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@mart.mystery]

I am going to use this tip. I am just starting to learn how to drive and I suck at keeping the vehicle in the centre. I'm always either too close to one side.

Hi Rick! I recently moved from NYC to Phoenix and I am finally learning to drive.

[@bryanxu586]

Thanks for the tip. I started driving again lately and drifting in between lanes is one of my biggest shortcomings. I'll try to look farther down the road the next time I get behind the wheel and go on the highway.

I am a new driver and just started learning how to drive. I have a problem too with staying in my lane as I tend to drift a little bit into the other lane. Will definitely use your tips when I go for my driving lesson tomorrow.

[@savannahthomson2000]

Thank you, my biggest issues when driving is staying in my lane and turning to far out. I always look just straight down in front of the hood. I will definitely try this next time I drive😌

[@danielshaysevand5096]

you are an awesome instructor very informative review me myself being an automotive enthusiast and watching this makes me proud especially when I take my road test thank you so much

[@DarleneYoungartist]

Staying in the center of my lane is one my challenges with driving a big truck. I find it's like driving a tank. I'm gong to take your advice and look farther ahead. Your videos are the best thing on the internet. Thanks so much for making them available.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Darlene - Thank you for your comment. Yes, it can be a bit daunting initially; however, if you look farther down the road, the truck will centre in the lane. And look through the curve - the truck will go where you're looking. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@ragamuffinhooligan4019]

I tell my student drivers to look ahead & keep close to the line/lines on the left - just don't drive on it!

[@TheKingOfTroll]

you're videos are great! it's awesome that you cover much more than basic shifting and braking technique. even an experienced driver could learn something from these informative pieces. is your doctorate in engineering or is it something specific to commercial trucks? your credentials and driving experience give you much more credibility than other channels and even some driving instructors lol! keep up the good work.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Clifford Walters - thank you for your most flattering comment and compliment. My PhD is in the discipline of legal history, which is the study of courts, prisons, and policing. My PhD look at policing and traffic safety and how it relates to traffic. In a nutshell: The thesis examined the traffic revolution that occurred in the forty years after 1890 as road traffic transitioned from animal-drawn to motor-vehicles. Melbourne, Australia served as a case study. The focus of the work examined the 500% increase in average road speeds and the consequent impact on law, policing, and public policy. In the conflict that ensued between motorists’ desire to travel at higher road speeds and authorities’ mandate to maintain an acceptable level of public safety and public order, the analysis concluded that new policies and legislation, in fact, facilitated higher road speeds. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@prestotechreviews8871]

Staying in the center of the lane is one of my biggest challenges currently (I started driving a month ago) and especially staying in the lane when turning or going around small curves. I guess I have been getting better, and probably it takes a lot of practice. This video has helped quite a bit and I have definitely been binge watching this video. Thanks and your videos are very helpful!

Positioning the car is a major problem for all the new driver, amazing video I learn a lot from it , It will be innovation (no video so far regarding this subject in KZbin) and high interesting lesson if you don’t mind broadcasting a video to determine the limit of the vehicle, so when parking or moving in crowd we do not hurt the others vehicles .your videos are so benefit for me. Thanks a lot.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi hichem ben jazia - Thank you for your comment and praise. Be sure to have a look at the image that shows you the blind spots around the vehicle - that areas where you can't see from the driver's seat. And I believe this video will help you with learning the orientation of the vehicle in space and place. Do the 2 X 4 (wood) exercise to learn how to position your vehicle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnvTfn6hrKqbrqs All the best, Cheers Rick

[@gpospiel7920]

I also tell my students they can use the vehicle ahead of them as a rough guide assuming there is a vehicle ahead of them and that car is centered in the lane and I have heard that state troopers use their left thumb - by holding the wheel at 10 and 2 and sticking their thumb up it should appear to be riding along the yellow center line or just slightly to the right of it but that takes some practice and accuracy.

Hey Rick, thank you so much for all your videos, they have been very helpful to me as a learner Driver. I was wondering if you could please do a video on how to make my passengers in the car more comfortable such that they don't feel as though the car is jerking or stalling? I've had a comment from one of my driving instructors that the ride is not as smooth when they're sitting in my car (especially when I'm going through roundabouts) compared to more experienced drivers. Is there a way around that? Also, how do I know how wide to turn when I'm making a left turn and/or right turn?

Hey, just found your channel and this video really helped me. This is one thing that I've had problems with for quite a while. I'm always too close to the lines so it's hard for me to stay in the center of the lane. But this really helped! I'm going to get my truck license in a year or so, but I still need to get my driver's license. By the way, is that a 2001 Honda CR-V? What is it like to drive?

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Eaze - thank you for your comment. We're glad that the video helped you out. We'll be here when you're ready to get your truck license. And we're working on some ebooks that will help you out when you're ready to get your commercial license. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. It's a 1998 CRV; and I've owned a 1999 too. They're great vehicles for a small SUV and reliable. All the best, Cheers Rick

At 4:18, how did you decide if you should turn left or yield for oncoming cars? I see a protected left turn arrow there, so maybe that was it. But, do you have a protected left turn arrow? How would you know to turn left in case of an advanced green?

[@kaymoney526]

Hi ...thanks for ur tips and advise..ur videos are very informative and useful.pls do u have a driving school? Also I'm using a Toyota Corolla for my driving class but after 2 hrs driving test,i usually feel pain on my right kneel despite moving back d car seat to d last point behind. Im concern cuz I'm just 5ft 9 inches tall, cud it be i needed more leg room space or what? What kind of car will u advice to use personally.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Oluwakayode Fasusi - Thank you for your comment. And a Corolla is a good car. Are you taking a 2hr driving lesson with a driving instructor? 2 hours is a long time; I usually don't work with students for that long in a passenger vehicle. 50 minutes or 1 hour is more the norm. You might try some of the small SUVs and see if they work better for you - Honda CRV, or the Toyota RAV 4!? If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

This helped a bit, but my issue is that I find it difficult to stay centered while I'm not sitting in the center of my car, if that makes sense. Any tips with that?

Hey love your vids man, but can you do a video on a three or multi lane highway? Never been on one and just want to know the difference between a regular two lane high way and a three or multi lane high way thank you!

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Mohamed Mangassouba - thank you for your comment. Can you tell me where in the world you are - that will give me a starting point? What is the information that you are looking for because multi-lane highways are easier to drive on than 2-lane highways with opposing lanes of traffic. The only difference is that you will have to lane merge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6eYnKqdbMujlbs and: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4bRl5Wfeq-sqqM and: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-2layfg99mipo If there's anything else we can do, drop us a note.

It's like a 4 way junction controlled by traffic signal and allowed to do u turn , also T junction controlled by traffic signal and allowed to take u turn The problem is it's not like other u turn traffic board signal allows in the middle of the road, in this u can stop my car and look for clearance on opposite road then I can take U turn by turning the steering wheel on my left completely. It's easy for me to do I am having problems when the signal is green on the U turn so I can't stop my car to look for clearance , I have to steer U turn while I am driving, during this either I am over steer or less steer also I am not controlled in acceleration and brakes and I am not sure how much I have to steer So could you please explain on this

[@venkat4167]

Hi, I have a question. Sometimes the car on the nearby lanes gets close to me or drives sort of in-between lanes. What to do in that case, if it happens out of the blue and if there is traffic on all lanes that I can't change lanes in that situation?

Thank you for the video. It did help me to stay in the center of my lane when the lanes are marked. I do have huge problem with positioning myself when I am on a residential two-way street with 2 lanes in each direction and there are no lines either separating the lanes in the same direction nor the yellow line that would mark the lane with opposite traffic.(no marked lanes on intersections either). What can I do to help me with my spatial awareness and knowing when I am in which lane? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[@WaldoBC]

@8:04, Why did you stop for the unoccupied crosswalk? Yes, you must yield and stop for road users already in the roadway... but there were none. Could this be a potential demerit on a road test... Stopping/slowing unnecessarily (C4)?

[@cedricjones7560]

Thanks for the video. How do you stay in your lane when driving around curves or hills? I tried driving a truck, but I kept moving off to the side of the road.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi cedric - thank you for your comment and query. "Top side driver, top side!" 😀 Always stay to the top side of the curve or bend. If you're turning left, stay to the right, if you're turning right, stay to the left. That way, if you start driving bigger vehicles, you won't cause the back end of the vehicle to drop in the other lane. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@MegaRcdrifter]

Hi, If I was taking a drivers test and if I was having trouble staying in the lane Would I get point(s) off? Also, would I get points off if I drive too close to the curb?

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Kasinova Da Don - thanks for your query. I'm going to be frank - it is unlikely that you would even pass a road test if you can't centre the vehicle in the lane. Not being able to centre the vehicle in the lane is a telltale sign that the student has spent very little time practicing and fails to grasp the fundamentals of driving. If you have further questions, drop us a note - always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@MrProfitTV]

Do you have videos on driving thru narrow construction lanes with jersey barriers with tractor trailer

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Mr. Profit74 - thanks for your cooperation and participation in last night’s live event. I don’t have that video, but I suggest you look farther down the road as the vehicle will go where you’re looking. Also, the video “how to centre your vehicle in the lane” may have some relevant information. If there’s anything further we can do drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@normitac.5375]

How can you keep centered if you are sitting at the left side of the car? unless the steering wheel is in the center of the car where you can really see the center of the road. That is weird to me.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Norma Chavez - Thank you for your comment and query. Follow the tips in the video and you can centre the vehicle in the lane. And these tips and techniques work for both driving on the right and left side of the vehicle. The skills and techniques also work for larger vehicles too. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@umutguler800]

Hi Normita I guess if you look forward as far as you can do on the road , it will be straight. Your position doesn't matter in the car because point of the road that you looked is longer than your position from the car's center

[@hibahammami8341]

Hello thanks for the useful information. Could you please explain to me? do I have to put a small paper in the middle of front mirror in order to center the car in the lane? Is that what you mean by setting a landmark? Thank you, Hiba

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Hiba Hammami - thank you for your comment. No, you don't need a piece of paper. Some of the smart drivers said that it's easier to find the centre of the hood in the camera, thus the piece of paper. The landmark is a fixed object in the roadway that will allow you to drive you vehicle; it is a guide that allows you to point your vehicle where you need it to go. Have a look at this video - this might explain the landmark better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIjFiqOdo5uHasU If we can help further, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

Can you tell me what should be my reference point to keep half feet distance with left line from driving seat.

+nicky ahmad sorry for late response. The fog line should be on the left front corner of the vehicle; although that’s just a general guideline. Looking farther down the road is the best way to centre the vehicle in the lane. If there’s anything further we can do drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick
