Driving a car can be a thrilling experience, but it's important to remember that it also comes with a great deal of responsibility. One of the most critical skills to master when driving is steering the vehicle safely and effectively.

In this guide, we'll walk you through some essential tips and techniques for steering a car.



Tip 1: Avoid crossing your arms


Try to avoid crossing your arms when steering a car. This is because in the event of an airbag deployment, your hands or wrists could be propelled into your face at speeds of 100 to 200 miles per hour.

Imagine the steering wheel as a clock face and hold the steering wheel at either 10 to 2 or quarter to 3.



Tip 2: Use pull-push steering

The pull-push steering technique is ideal for when driving at low speeds and making big turns. To use this technique, simply pull the wheel down with one hand while pushing it up with the other hand, alternating as necessary. This technique allows for greater precision and control over the vehicle.

Your right hand must always stay to the right half of the steering wheel and your left hand should always stay to the left half. You can practise this technique using a plate but be careful not to drop it!





Tip 3: Keep your hands fixed on the steering wheel for gradual turns


For gradual turns, such as those encountered when navigating slight bends in the road, it's best to keep your hands fixed on the steering wheel. There's no need to shuffle your hands on the steering wheel.

But try not to let your hands go past the
12'o clock position.

Conclusion.

Steering a car is a crucial part of safe and responsible driving. By following these tips and techniques, you'll be able to steer your vehicle with greater confidence and precision, while also avoiding common mistakes and potential hazards.

As with all aspects of driving, it just takes a bit of practise.
