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

Keeping the car straight and in the center of a lane is easy: just line up the hood ornament or radiator cap with the lane markers on the far side (if the steering wheel is on the left, that would be the lane markers on the right side of the car)

@thisguy20 other than a Rolls no modern car has a hood ornament or an exposed radiator cap

@Tetsuya Not everyone drives a car that is new...

@thisguy20 I am going to predict that she is not driving a car over 30 years old
