- Limitdistracted drivingby putting away your phone, avoiding texting, and using hands-free technology.
- Keep your eye on the dotted center lane line.
- Don’t grip the steering wheel so tight.
- Focus on something well ahead of you, ideally about 10 to 15 seconds down the road. This should keep you centered, even if other cars are veering.
