How to Steer the Wheel to Control Direction?
2 Answers
Methods for steering the wheel to control direction: 1. First, visualize the steering wheel as a clock, with both hands positioned at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions; 2. When turning right, pull the left hand from the 9 o'clock position to the 1 o'clock position, while releasing the right hand from the wheel; 3. Once the left hand reaches the 3 o'clock position, immediately release it and then grasp the wheel again at the 9 o'clock position, moving towards the 1 o'clock position; 4. After completing the turn, return the steering wheel to its original position, adjusting the number of turns based on the sharpness of the turn. For left turns, pull the right hand from the 3 o'clock position to the 11 o'clock position, then release the left hand and grasp the wheel at the 9 o'clock position. Immediately after releasing the right hand, grasp the wheel at the 9 o'clock position and move towards the 11 o'clock position. After completing the turn, return to the straight driving position.
When learning to drive, the first thing I practiced was steering wheel control. Simply put, you need to hold both sides of the wheel with your hands, usually at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, for stable steering. When turning, don't rush or go too fast—turn it slowly: push the wheel left to turn left and right to turn right. Remember, avoid letting your hands slip or switching them too much; keeping movements gentle helps prevent wheel lock. For example, slow down in advance before a turn and keep your eyes on the road ahead; on the highway, steering responses should be quick but smooth—turning too sharply can cause the car to fishtail. Start by practicing in open areas, not crowded ones—safety first. Once you master it, you'll realize steering directly affects the car's path, whether parking precisely or avoiding collisions. Daily driving will then become second nature.
