How to Tell if the Steering Wheel is Straight?

To determine if the steering wheel is straight, observe the logo on the steering wheel. If it is properly aligned, the logo will be facing directly towards you.

When I first got my driver's license, I often struggled with whether the steering wheel was straight. Later, I found a few simple methods: First, focus on the logo in the center of the steering wheel—if it's directly facing you without any tilt, it generally means it's straight. Second, when parking or starting, turn the steering wheel, and it will naturally spring back to the center without moving, feeling smooth. Third, while driving straight, observe the car's front and direction—if the car moves straight ahead without deviation and the steering wheel isn't turned, it's definitely straight. Not straightening the wheel can lead to accelerated tire wear or gradual drifting while driving, which is quite dangerous. So, I make it a habit to check the logo position before getting out of the car to ensure a smooth drive next time. After developing this small habit, I've saved myself a lot of stress compared to my nervous beginner days—now I handle it with ease.
