The solutions for not distinguishing left and right on the steering wheel are: 1. The direction of the left hand is the left side; 2. The direction of the passenger seat is the right side; 3. The side with the gear shift is the right side; 4. The side with the accelerator is the right side. The method for removing the steering wheel is: 1. Disconnect all positive and negative battery cables; 2. Remove the lower inspection panel of the steering wheel; 3. Disconnect the connector between the airbag and the spiral cable; 4. Remove the driver-side airbag assembly; 5. Remove the steering wheel nut and take off the steering wheel. The working principle of the car steering wheel is: to transmit torque to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby pushing the wheels to turn left or right.

I remember when I first started learning to drive, I often confused left and right with the steering wheel. Once, I mistakenly turned right when intending to go left, nearly hitting the curb, which gave me quite a scare. I decided to practice more, going to an empty parking lot near my home every week specifically to work on steering: driving slowly at under 10km/h, first turning full left in circles several times, then repeating the process to the right, for half an hour each session. After a month of consistent practice, muscle memory kicked in, and now I can automatically judge the direction without even thinking. The key is to spend more time practicing in a safe environment and not rush onto the road prematurely; also, maintaining a relaxed mindset is crucial, as tension can exacerbate mistakes. Having a friend supervise was also helpful—they sat in the passenger seat directing my turns to reinforce memory. In short, this is common during the novice phase, and with solid practice and perseverance, improvement comes quickly.

As someone who has been through it, I've guided several beginners in solving steering wheel issues. My advice is to stick a small label on the left side of the steering wheel as a reminder, such as using an easy-to-remove sticker with the word 'Left'. Practice turning at slow speeds (5-10 km/h) on empty roads in your neighborhood, focusing on each turning movement without distractions. Don't overcomplicate things—just remember 'turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the car to go'. It's even better to practice with a driving school car or a friend's car, and short sessions 3-4 times a week will show results. Also, don't let the psychological pressure get to you; initial confusion with the steering wheel is common but easy to correct—deep breaths can help with focus. If you encounter situations on the road, slow down and gradually increase difficulty, like practicing high-speed turns to adapt slowly. Most people can drive normally after sticking with it for two weeks.

When I first learned to drive, I often turned the wrong way and felt embarrassed. But it's not that difficult—find a quiet street to practice turning slowly, like making continuous left circles to get familiar with the feel. Keep your eyes focused ahead, and the steering wheel will naturally follow; don't stare at your hands. Mistakes are normal; correct them through repetition, and the key is not to rush—start at 5 km/h. Once you're comfortable, try small curves while ensuring safety.
