Vehicle Steering Wheel Usage Tips?

[CarmenLee]

Here is the correct way to hold the steering wheel: 1. Imagine the steering wheel as a circular clock face. Place your left hand at the 9 o'clock position and your right hand at the 3 o'clock position, forming a posture similar to 9:15 or 10:10 on a clock. Gently grip the steering wheel with both hands, keeping your thumbs naturally extended along the edge of the wheel, while the other four fingers should lightly wrap around the wheel from the outside inward. 2. When turning the steering wheel, use your left and right hands to push the wheel to naturally steer the vehicle. For a right turn, your left hand should grip the wheel and rotate it from the 9 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position, while your right hand slides from the 3 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position. Then, your right hand should grip the wheel and pull it downward from the 12 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock position. At the same time, your left hand slides from the 12 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock position on the opposite side of the wheel and grips it. At this point, the wheel has rotated half a turn in your hands. For sharper turns, simply repeat the above steps. To return the wheel to the straight position after turning, rotate it in the opposite direction. The principle for a left turn is the same as for a right turn.
