How to steer a C1 steering wheel?
2 Answers
Turn left when going left, turn right when going right, whether moving forward or backward. When the vehicle deviates to one side, it must be corrected by steering to the opposite side. If the car body leans to the left, it must be moved to the right to straighten, so steer right; otherwise, do the opposite; this applies whether moving forward or backward. For forward movement, pay attention to the following two points: 1. When moving forward, turning the steering wheel left will make the front of the car go left; turning the steering wheel right will make the front of the car go right—the steering method is the same as when reversing. 2. When correcting, if the front of the car leans to one side, steer to the opposite side to straighten. If the car body leans left, move right to straighten, steering right. Otherwise, do the opposite. For reversing, pay attention to the following two points: 1. When reversing, turning the steering wheel left will make the rear of the car go left; turning the steering wheel right will make the rear of the car go right. 2. When correcting, if the rear of the car leans to one side, steer to the opposite side to straighten. If the car body leans left, move right to straighten, steering right. Otherwise, do the opposite.
As a seasoned manual transmission driver, let me share some insights about steering. The most stable way to hold the wheel is at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions. When turning, rotate the wheel smoothly as if rubbing it, rather than yanking it abruptly like in a fight. Always check the mirrors to ensure safety before steering, and avoid sudden movements. After turning, let the wheel return to center naturally, otherwise the car will drift. A common mistake among beginners is crossing hands while steering, which is a bad habit that can lead to delayed reactions in critical moments. Practice makes perfect—start with right-angle turns to get the feel. Also, remember 'slow in, fast out' for sharp bends; easing off the throttle a bit beforehand makes steering smoother. Driving is all about skill—master the steering, and your driving will naturally become steady.
