How to keep a truck in your own lane.

I find it just drives it self if that makes any sense. The only time I had to pay extra attention was city driving. On the interstate I just kinda let it "float" along and never had a problem. Y'all know what I'm talking about? It's not like I'm a drone behind the wheel, I just don't actively think about keeping it straight. I just use the force.

 

LOL, if i ever swerve, chances are there's a hot chick in a car next to me, LOL!

 

Maybe they are reaching into the cooler on the passenger seat?

MIkeeee

 

That's not realistic!

As others have said, it's probably all the distractions of cell phones, and qualcomm. Oh, and making those sandwiches while rolling down the road.

 

Drivers that swerve back and forth are looking in front of the truck. Their gaze is directed at the pavement just above the hood in front of them.

Of course, the correct way to drive is with your gaze directed at the horizon. It helps if you can visualize an imaginary mark (like a piece of tape) at the top of the steering wheel. In your imagination, keep the tape pointed straight up, at the horizon- and the center of the lane a mile ahead of you. And keep it steady, don't let it move back and forth a lot.

Drivers that look only at the ground 40 feet in front of them are often tailgating and reacting late to changing conditions. They're involved in rollovers ("I didn't see that corner 'till it was too late"), rear-end collisions ("He just came out of nowhere"). They run red lights, overrun stop signs, dive into exits, change lanes suddenly, and a long list of other unplanned, sudden maneuvers.

Don't be one of these dummies- look UP and look a mile ahead of you. Put down your cell phone, it will ruin all your training and instincts. Talking on the phone, you will be staring at the ground like the rest of the cavemen that use cell phones.

When you have to hang up and call "911", you've just caused an accident. You CAN do BETTER.

 

Sometimes i get in the habit of looking too far ahead of me and dont pay attention of whats right in front of me. that can be a bad habit too.

 

I think you hit the problem right on the nose. I drove triples and never once had the truck go out of it's lane even in high winds.

 

I had to look for a minute or two, then

 

What school do they send storm troopers too? I think its a CDL mill by the looks of it.
