Driving Tips Needed

I'm now learning how to drive an automatic car, and it's so challenging for me. I'm also on the shorter side for a female. Under 5 feet. I really would appreciate some driving tips if you would be so kind. I'm having difficulty knowing whether or not I'm keeping the car straight. I realized that I'm either too much on one side of the road, or the other, almost like I'm swerving.

Thanks

Follow the lines on the road.

@MrBrownstone Hey, thanks for the tip. Not all the roads have lines though.

@SWUser193 True. You guess at where the lines would be. Stay on the right side of the road. Similar to when you drive in snow and can't see the road.

@MrBrownstone Thanks much. I appreciate it.

@SWUser193 After you drive enough you will get the hang of it. There is a gap between the hood and fender. You can use that as a guide to line up with the lines on the road if it has lines.
