Many people have used a piece of tape, or mark on the windshield that aligns with the left hand side of the coach. In other words, when you sit normally in the driver's seat, and you align the tape/mark on the windshield with a location on the road ahead, the left side of the coach will pass over that mark.

I have kept the reference points on the windshield as they come in handy once in a while. While driving experience helps, being proactive and learning from other peoples mistakes before you get into a bad situation by looking at some of these videos and reading is the approach I took.
