How to Steer a Sedan?
2 Answers
The method for steering a sedan is as follows: 1. Hold the steering wheel with both hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions; 2. Return the steering wheel to the center after turning; 3. Maintain balanced hand movements to avoid unnecessary shaking; 4. Keep your eyes looking straight ahead, with the left hand lightly gripping the upper left side of the steering wheel; 5. The right hand on the upper part of the steering wheel should be relaxed, with both hands naturally hanging down; 6. The thumbs of both hands should naturally point straight to the upper part of the steering wheel, while the other four fingers should lightly grip from the outside to the inside. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the driver's airbag.
After driving for so many years, I believe steering wheel handling is all about hand position and control. Generally, hold the wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions for flexible and safe turning. For example, when turning left, gently push with the right hand while pulling with the left, allowing the hands to naturally cross—avoid the one-handed show-off moves you see online, as they're too unstable. For wide turns like highway ramps, turn the wheel more but be careful not to turn too quickly; for tight turns like parking or U-turns, just turn slightly and coordinate with throttle control. Power steering is a huge help, making it effortless, but avoid frequently turning the wheel to its limit, as it's bad for the steering pump. Always check the mirrors before turning to ensure safety. These habits have helped me avoid accidents and made daily driving much smoother.
