Does your vehicle veer in the direction of your gaze?

This happens all the time to my husband as he looks left and right across fields searching for wildlife in the distance.

Cut the cord!

Try cutting the imaginary cord between your eyes and hands by taking the hand off the wheel that corresponds to the direction you’re looking. For example, if you are looking left, take your left hand off the wheel. This technique minimizes the directional pull on the steering wheel.

Obviously you need to stay in your lane for safety and, if you don’t, you could be pulled over mistakenly for drunk driving!

Look at where you want to be. Let’s say you are heading toward a pending collision. Looking at the anticipated collision point only serves to pull you toward it. Instead, look at your exit point.

Don’t look at the problem. Look at the solution.

This concept is also used in aviation. The pilot looks at the end of the runway when landing instead of looking directly in front of the aircraft. We should teach this concept of looking ahead to our children when they begin riding a tricycle.
