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

Go to a neighborhood road where there aren't a lot of cars and it's low speed. Make sure it's straight, not curved. Stop your car and look into the side mirrors to see how close the side of your car is to the curb. That will help you get an idea of the width of your car and how close each side is to where you want it to be.

Think of it as drawing a line from your mirror to the ground.
