What is the steering wheel handling mantra for beginners?

[McGrant]

New drivers should follow this steering wheel handling mantra: Left hand at the 9 o'clock position, right hand between 3-4 o'clock position, with the thumb gripping the inner side of the wheel and the other four fingers holding the outer side. Below is relevant information about steering wheels: 1. Function: The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering column via splines. Its purpose is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque transmitted to the steering column. Larger diameter steering wheels require less hand force from the driver during turns. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connector between the steering gear and steering column, facilitating steering gear standardization while compensating for manufacturing and installation errors, enabling more rational installation of steering components in vehicles. 2. Fault diagnosis: Drive at approximately 15 km/h on open roads while making left and right turns to check steering responsiveness. Verify whether the wheel returns to center properly and if the vehicle drifts when releasing the wheel.
