Answer 1

As an experiment, either drive another car or have someone else drive your car.

If the problem is with the car, and not you, it is probably either the alignment or the tire pressure.

Answer 2

you may have...

1. a problem with the wheel-alignment on the car , which would cause it to veer right (not `swerve`)(as a swerve is a sudden and severe motion in one direction).

get the wheel-alignment checked by profesionals.

2.a bent chassis/sub-frame. this will be like answer 1.

3. simply (in Life) your eyes tell your Brain which way to move.

you could be sub-consciously looking to the right a lot and that will affect your direction (mentally)  you need to rectify this your-self.

4. are you a `grille-gazer`?   this means that you place your Visual Point (ahead of you) at just past the Bonnet/Hood line of your car. this is a dangerous practice as you limit your range of Vision on the Roads and you will `keep` looking at the right-hand corner of the car , thus `pointing`it that way.

you need to rectify this your-self.

hope that this helps you and good luck.         :>)

Answer 3

Your car may pull to the right.  Once you get the car going straight and steady, hold the bottom of the wheel with your left hand right at 6 o clock.  Keep your right hand on the wheel, but loose, so you can react to stuff.  Drum your fingers on the wheel or something.  It's a lot easier to tell if your hands are moving if one is at 6.

Answer 4

Get off the Road !

Answer 5

Okay, here's the sermon....lol...

Engineers go to school for many years in order to learn how to design things for humans to use.

Most humans have two arms and two legs, two eyes, two ears.........which gives us balance.

When one of these is removed, a human becomes unbalanced.

Engineers design things for people who are "normal", that is with two hands,arms,feet,legs,eyes,ears, etc.

When you drive a vehicle, the Engineers have designed it so that you are balanced with two hands on the wheel, one on each side of it.............now, you must look where you want to steer when driving, riding a bike, walking, etc., right? Your hands follow your eyes. That's how your brain works.....

We also have a "dominant" steering arm (the one which does most of the control)........so, you must learn to "balance" your steering control. Be aware of this. Keeping your hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock position on the steering wheel while driving, and beginning your turns from 9 or 3 (begin with the hand opposite of the direction you are turning.....i.e. begin a right turn with your left hand and then use "hand over hand" steering, looking well ahead where you are intending to travel.

Lane changes require minimal steering. If you shoulder check (quick glances over your right shoulder for right lane change, and over left shoulder for left lane change), signal,

shoulder check again, and then look well up the lane you intend to enter and you will tend to steer there.

Never swerve!( snapping the steering wheel left or right) It will cause you  to lose control on slippery roads or at higher speeds.

I hope that helps.

Answer 6

Is your arms moving? If this isn't the case then you need an alignment. My van used to do that and it went to the right way too much. I got an alignment and problem was fixed.

Hope this helps.

Use both hands! lol

Answer 7

Steer way ahead - look 20 seconds down the road, not 20 feet in front of the car.

To see how well, this works, try walking down a hall.

Look at your feet while walking and see how straight you walk.... Then look to where you want to walk.

Also, for practice, get on an empty road and as you drive, look out your window to see where the lane divider is.

You have to get used to where your car should be positioned in the middle of the lane.

Many new drivers swerve because they think they are too close to the land markers.

Keep in mind that most lanes are almost 10 feet wide, and you car isn't....

Look at other cars in front of you and see how much extra room they have side to side.
