lane discipline
Keeping your lane
Lane discipline is the practice of staying properly within marked traffic lanes and using them appropriately—keeping right except to pass, signaling before changing lanes, not straddling lines.
Poor lane discipline causes accidents and congestion: That driver has no lane discipline—he's been weaving for miles.
The term appears in driving instruction and traffic enforcement contexts.
