Is It Necessary to Sew a Leather Cover on the Steering Wheel?

[DelMartin]

Sewing a leather cover on the steering wheel is unnecessary and may cause it to slip, leading to potential hazards. Here are some of its drawbacks: 1. Difficulty in controlling the steering wheel: During winter snow and rain, icy roads are common. Using a steering wheel cover reduces the friction between the steering wheel and the hands, making it harder to control in slippery or sharp-turn conditions. This can lead to loss of grip, making it difficult to handle emergencies safely and increasing the risk of accidents. 2. Reduced driver's perception and judgment of road conditions: Drivers rely on the vibration of the steering wheel to sense road conditions, especially at high speeds or during sharp turns, allowing them to make quick emergency decisions. Using a steering wheel cover reduces the friction between the hands and the wheel, diminishing the driver's ability to perceive and judge road conditions. 3. Increased likelihood of the steering wheel slipping.
