Can You Drive Straight Without Moving the Steering Wheel?
2 Answers
You can drive straight without moving the steering wheel. Here is the relevant information: Throttle: Flexible control of the throttle is necessary during straight driving to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, which can affect normal driving. Uneven speed control can also cause the steering wheel to deviate. Adjusting posture: Incorrect sitting posture can affect visual judgment. For learners with poor car sense, it is easy to deviate. During straight driving, it is necessary to look farther ahead, from the center of the road in front of the cockpit, to detect any deviation of the vehicle and make timely adjustments.
I've been driving for many years and have seen too many people who thought they didn't need to hold the steering wheel on straight roads, only to end up in accidents. The road is never perfectly smooth: a small bump, a gust of crosswind, or sudden braking by the car ahead can all cause the vehicle to veer slightly. Without hands on the wheel to make timely corrections, these minor deviations can accumulate, and in the blink of an eye, the car may drift out of its lane, leading to an accident. As a driver, safety is the top priority. Even on wide, straight roads, you must keep both hands at the nine and three o'clock positions on the steering wheel—this gives you maximum control and reaction speed. Remember, the steering wheel is your connection point with the vehicle; letting go of it is like driving with your eyes closed—relying entirely on luck is far too dangerous. Develop good habits to protect yourself and others. While modern vehicles come with assist systems, these are merely backups and should not be relied upon.
