How Can I keep The Car In The Center Of The Road?

Just relax and let the car steer for you. Watching tv, some new drivers think you have to keep moving the steering wheel from left to right, but that's not the case. Don't worry, good driving doesn't just happen, it comes in time. Soon enough, you'll be a pro 
LOL, I had the same problem years ago and freaked my mother out!
I have learned: don't steer like its a tv show! it takes very little movement to steer.
Use the center of the hood as a guide so that from the driver's seat it appears to run along the white line on the side of the road (or where one should be).
Also, on a quiet street, take your hands off the wheel and go very slowly and see how straight the car stays without your steering at all.

Driving sober tends to help

The classic technique is to "saw the wheel".
It destroys tires, wastes gas and is not intended for long term use.
You gently rock the wheel from side to side until get a feel for the middle of the lane. Then gradually reduce the rocking until it disappears.
It is an old technique that you see in old movies, it works to give you a feel of how the car responds to the wheel.
Just don't use it too much.
