How to Turn the Steering Wheel

- A video on how to turn the steering wheel. The good, the bad, and the dangerous methods. I explain the methods hand over hand, "milking the cow", and "washing the dishes" (these are the names I gave them by the way, nothing official). This is a topic where there is a lot of debate, and these are my personal opinions. So remember to always use whatever method is required where you are driving.

Note: How you turn the wheel is usually a preference rather than a law or rule. However, some places might require you to turn it a certain way at the exam. So make sure that you do what's required wherever you do your exam. While I try to make my videos as universal as possible, rules and laws may vary according to the place where you’re driving and might be different from the ones in this video. Always drive according to the laws and rules that apply to the place where you are driving. Requirements at the driving exam may also be different than the ones shown here. Always respect the requirements that apply to the place where you are passing your driving exam. This video is not meant to replace your official driving courses.
1:49 you know ur dads gonna finesse that parallel parking when he does that
I know you saw that one meme 😂
ll Kybro ll 😂 yup just gotta bring it to youtube
@@easy506th2 I was thinking about that exact meme when I was watching the video 😂
@ll Kybro ll lmao ye gotta spread the word
i didn’t even watch the video yet and ik what you’re talking about
I actually failed my driver's test for turning using the last method (Nevada). Make sure to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times! Good luck, you're gonna do great.
Same
Glad I saw this lol
@@AP-wu1rv this guys videos did miracles for me haha. I was not ready to drive on my own before this and deserved to fail the first couple tests. The test is actually pretty easy in hindsight, I’m glad they didnt pass me lol
I have a tip for those who are failing or just having trouble with the test. Be slow, you see if you're driving slow or taking your time then less mistakes you make all the while you're paying attention. Don't worry about going a little under the speed limit but don't go too slow. I always had in mind 27mph on side streets to 30 mph on main roads.
Also, you can kind of cheese the parallel parking on side streets if the houses are divided by a driveway. Yes, I cheesed it at the time and practice later.
Bruh so like what if I’m driving a manual car and need to shift either up/down either before/after my turn… what I need both hands so I have to lug my engine and damage it (too low rpm for a gear)? Fuck that shit they’d be showing me in writing where it says I have to use both hands to turn.
Finally, someone who knows how to use the steering wheel correctly. Now the other issue i see, is how do you get the people who dont know how to use a steering wheel to watch this video???????!!!!!!!!!
metalhead BADMOJO Share it to them.
metalhead BADMOJO practice with a plate or something round like a steering wheel first
Wow most of this video will cause you to immediately fail your test in the UK. Letting go of the steering wheel not a good idea show lack of control. Even if he was a good driver he has no clue when the wheels are straight. When you know which way the wheels are pointing you can do this.

The UK use this method. Except you can't slid the wheel. Same with UK high speed police driver tests.

Watch it?
First time I turned a car I spinned the steering wheel so fast my mom was abt to scream
Omg lol so funny wow! Crazy!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😆💯💯💯⚛🚸🚸⚠️⚠️
😂😂😂💯
lmfaoo
Me too and i was 17 i got so scared and held that steering wheel too tight from fear thankfully i stopped the car right before hitting a wall 😂
wiping the dishes looks cooler
And the dishes are clean too.
Conduite Facile hahaha, nice videos btw. Really need the help since im trying to get my license and you are good at showing and explaining:)
Can I use the "wiping the dishes" on the driver's test cause I'm so used to it but don't want to get an error. Hopefully someone can reply fast cause I'm taking it tomorrow morning
Obey Samurai I wouldn’t recommend it just do the overhand method instead
Tech deck No neck Damn should've practiced that one then shit
My drivers ed instructor told me that, during the road test, if you let the wheel slip after making a turn, you will lose points. You are supposed to do hand-over-hand both when turning the wheel to make a turn and when straightening the wheel after the turn is complete.
Thanks I never knew this
Can I use wiping the dishes to make my wheel bad to its place?
Which is odd since it normal for the wheel to move back because of the power steering as long as let it slowly glide through hands its proper vehicle control.
Gibs Music me either
Where do you live? Where did you take you road test? I am a driving instructor in Canada.
I just want to thank you so much for these videos. My brother and i are very anxious people, and he is just now getting into driving. He is so so soooo nervous when turning, and you have so many GOOD videos that ACTUALLY teach method. They even helped me learn something and I've been driving for 7 years now. I appreciate you.
I got better because of this men he needs a big recognition so extremely helpful 👏
This is actually one of the rare good driving videos for turning lol
Just wanted to say I seriously appreciate your videos. They're so clear and straight to the point and the POV video is extra useful. I found a lot of mistakes in my driving by watching your videos. Hopefully when I get behind the wheel again I'll be better and eventually get myself a license!
i don't understand why some people giving this video a thumbs down.
Jude Carcedo because they are a pu..y
They can't pass there drivers test I guess lol
Because of fear of the dubstep used in the video.
dude its ok u can swear openly ur parents arent watching u lmao
Every single video on UA-cam with a decent amount of exposure, will get inevitable thumbs downs. It’s unavoidable no matter how reasonable the video is. It is IMPOSSIBLE to satisfy EVERYBODY. What I find is if you scroll far down enough through the comment section, you’ll find some people who aren’t happy with the video and I assume are the ones who clicked the dislike button. You’ll find your reason why for almost every video.
The animations really help us understand the explanation! UA-camrs could really learn from your videos. Thank you!!!
Wiping the dishes 😂😂 Love that name mate!
Tha wishi washi we call it
Im taking my drivering test soon and i love how helpful your videos are. You've earned my subscription
ChromedRaZoR Drivering.
@@jaskajokunen3716 ah yes drivering
Thank you man. My dad has been showing me stuff about driving and once I take the test I'm hoping I pass! Wish me luck y'all. I wish anyone else luck who is gonna take the test as well :)
I wish you good luck.
@@ConduiteFacile thank you
I hope you passed!!
Amazing video. My previous boss drove me to the train station a couple times and I saw him put his hand inside the wheel. I was going to try that myself because it looked really comfortable but I'm glad you explained it clearly.. The example with your friend opened my eyes as well. Thank you.
Yesterday I learnt this technique in yet another video of Conduit Facile, I tried to apply it while I was on my driving lessons. Today I've watched this video and it has more information why I should hold the steering wheel the right way.
1. The air bag
2. Avoid breaking my hands in case of a violent turn of the S wheel.
3. I've also learnt when to use the steering wheel handling styles like 'dishwasher' ... Only when I'm reversing or parking.
Inch by inch is when I'm doing little manoeuvres ....
Love Conduite Facile.
As a new driver, some of your videos helped with things I found difficult and correct some bad behaviour. Thank you for the helpful videos!
Thanks for the vid as it was extremely helpful! Making left/right turns were one of my biggest issues. I used this method during my lesson and my instructor was impressed! Once again thanks for the tips!!!
You should watch this one also then: ua-cam.com/video/gyYT1N_VbNs/v-deo.html
And this one: ua-cam.com/video/dvvUt8mAxHk/v-deo.html
Conduite Facile I absolutely will watch! Thanks!
Good video. I have been driving for 48 years and it’s good to continue learning. It’s nice to be refreshed and learn again. I never gave thought about the air bag. Now I know not to grab the wheel rim underhanded or place one hand at the top center of the wheel rim. Thank you. 👍
I passed today my first test all becouse of you!
You are awsome!
You are great!
I didn't took any lessons only your video's!!!
Thank you so much!
any tips for me plz?
How tf?
Love the explanations. The details and the visual are very good, I’m a learner and this has really helped me.
I absolutely LOVE your video, it was short & sweet and to the point!!!! I"m teaching my daughter how to drive, so this was very helpful....keep them coming!!!!
I'm learning to drive in the UK so everything is to the left, but I am still finding your videos so helpful. Thank you so much for your videos.
Your videos on turning alone helped me passed my road test in Bronx, NY!!! The instructor and graphics are amazing! I will still continue to subscribe and like because I'm driving in NYC, I need all the help I can get. Thank you!
Cool. Congrats and stay tuned!
Very informative, I very much like this guy, because of how he explains things slowly and professionally. You, gentleman, have my respect.
I appreciate that!
Oh I just love how you provide this information!!!! So great and very useful!! Keep up the good work 🙂
This is such a useful video! You quickly got to the point and gave meaningful information with fitting illustrations. Great job!
Someone has Finally cleared my questions about steering! Thank you for this superb and informative tutorial.
This taught me how to use the steering wheel correctly. I'm in drivers Ed and had trouble with the wheel but thanks to this video I understand my flaws 💯🙌
I just have to come straight and say it: I love you man, thx for these amazing vids!
if there was a medal for the best driving instructor in the whole world, honestly it would be you man! you are talented in this thing😊. thanks so much for sharing your gift with the world.
Basically
1) Normal people
2) Noobie/beginners
3) Roadman 😎😂
soooo true lmaoo
The one that bites a hay
and the ones that don't even have a car...
Me uses all three unconsciously:
"Listen here you noob"
Your videos are amazingly helpful, I love how you show visuals of how things can go wrong to make us understand better. Keep it up
I somehow relax instantly while listening to his voice. The lessons are a bonus, but they are learned better with the relaxed mind.
totally peerless driving lesson videos i could ever find on youtube! the best!
Great tips. I usually turn with the "wiping the dishes" technique but now I will change it to two hands to be more safe. Thanks!
I watched this video right before driving and it helped a lot! I still need work on turns but I will admit, I drove 100% better than the last time
I was used to the hand over hand method then driving instructor exclusively want me to use milking the cow method - I ran over a street sign trying to do so. It is good that you are teaching different methods for different situations instead of using just one technique. Thanks.
Damn. This is the best driving channel ever.. It's straight to the point and explained properly.. It's so good that I learned how to drive a car without actually having a car..
Other videos were driving me crazy. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.
This was the most helpful video I found on steering! I’m still kind of nervous about driving but in my opinion this was so much easier to understand than other videos, let alone an actual instructor
Fantastic advice. Keep posting your knowledge on video please. Thank you very much!
Hats off
This man taught me the entirety of my driving course and more in 3 vids
Keep up the good work
Same... All for which we're paying fckin hundreds of dollars for..
i just took my first driving course and i had trouble with the turns this is very helpful to me thankss
i used to milk my wheel when i started driving.
鬼Gozu But then you got experience by driving
@@birddaddydetta No he got milk from it, LOL
@@bassam_salim u get the milk and drink it
I think its pretty common with new drivers
Oh thankfully I'm not the only one lmfao. I have the beginning habit of doing this too. 😂 Any tips for left/right turns with the hand-over-hand method?
Thank you very much for your well researched and knowledgeable videos tutorials,I have passed my test in first attempt. I would highly recommend your channel to aspiring drivers.
Om thanks dude, im currently learning how to drive and this helps my habbit of crossing my arms. This information legit helps us new drivers and experenced drivers.
Your videos are so amazing and informative.....they are really helpful....... thank you so much for all the videos
Cool. Glad you like them.
I use the second method when I turn left after being stopped at an intersection, but not like how you showed :D Idk how to describe it, but pretty much just do it in one fluid motion. Both hands at the top and moving the left hand down, and turning the wheel sharper once I'm almost finished the turn, if you can picture that. It just feels more comfortable that way for me.
At first I was like this videos probably not gonna help. But dude THANKS.
I was watching some one talk about corners and got into the bad habit of trying to take them with both hands on the steering wheel but I just needed to see the hand over hand method again and understanding when to use it. VERY HELPFUL
That's a very clean and neat explanation of something bro.. thank you so much
Great video! I've only driven a car through a driving school, twice (4 hours total on two seperate days)... I told my parents that we could take practices together, and I might head over to the spot where I was taught (saves us money either way but the car isn't an secured instructing vehicle 😅 so I'd see how this goes down).
I'm cautious/good around other drivers, but might need another lesson. I'd see what I'd decide to do.
Parking & k-turn is done perfectly, the more difficult parts. I'm struggled in areas of hand-over-hand. I don't know why, I keep doing the milking it method, and it's why I'm struggling to making left & right turns (1).
And (2) After making the turn, straightening the vehicle quickly is where I get confused on how to properly straighten the vehicle, and then be going to the right lane. I was fortunate to have been practicing on empty streets that day. I really need to work on these two areas (again, only driven a vehicle twice in my life 😂😂 and having till this December 2nd for my road test-- my parents were afraid of giving a beginner lessons & the program is a pricy fee when living paycheck by paycheck for bills etc-- it's an effort on everyone's part-- I've been struggling to even find a job).
Just focused on becoming a solid & safe driver, and getting life together. Hopefully these videos help. 😅😂🔥
Omg! Yes!
Firmly grasp it!
Sweet this is actually helpful since I was starting driving at school this week
very very helpful. Awesome. I always admire your wisdom and experties.
awesome video as always
You explained wayy better then my driving instructor! Thanks alot🔥
Nice video.
I just want to make some comments about things I noticed when I drive.
For the hand over hand method, I initiate the turning with my right hand if I'm turning right by pushing my hand down. But then my left hand does the next step like you mentioned. I feel like I have more control when I'm pushing the wheel down with my right hand instead of pushing it up with my left hand.
Another thing is when I release the wheel and let it slide back to position, I don't push on the wheel with my palm but instead my fingertips. This is so it returns to position smoother and doesn't jerk with sweaty palms.
I'm not sure if these tips apply to everyone but hopefully it helps someone.
Short and informative 👍👍👍👍
Feel like watching over and over.
This is so helpful, thank you!!
Thanks so much! This helps a lot
BEST video on How to turn the steering wheel!
other videos suggest the no cross hands policy which they explain why but it isn't that correct
Sir you are the best teacher I've ever seen in UA-cam
I read somewhere that "milking the cow" is the best and safest technique but I always felt awkward and imprecise while doing it. I'm gonna try hand over hand for sharp turns, thanks a lot for the video!
hand over hand helps you to know how many turns you’ve made, whereas milking the cow doesn’t
Oh wow thank u. Taught me more than my teacher
I love this channel. I have only watched 2 videos so far but they are so good.
Sending you love and light from South Africa💐💥 Thanks a million🙏
I've gotten so used to driving with one hand that now I gotta re teach myself to drive with two hands for my driving test
i literally did not take a hand off the wheel until i passed my driving test 😂😂
Now youll never know why this comment got so many likes
LlamaSpeed honestly
Whattt? Mine is 600 dollars for 20 hours course 😶
200 dollars for 48 hours?! That's really good compared to my plan priced at 150 dollars for just 10 hours
@fruit punch samurai 10 dollars? Lol
LlamaSpeed 😂😂
Great, informative video with excellent explanations. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
So helpful! Thank you so much. First turning video that makes sense!
Very nice tutorial Sir!!
Awesome videos dude, you should make more.
I've got a few on my channel.
So informative and brief. Thank you my friend
Excellent! This video should hit 1 million or more!
So its called milking the cow... Thank you I knew I was turning the wheel correctly I KNEW IT!!!
Why are the sexier ways to turn the steering wheel dangerous 😭😭
lol what?
@@JenniferGarcia-xk3ue That’s what I’m saying lol
I dont see how its sexy in everyday traffic. Wiping the dishes is only cool imo in racing and drifting where it’s recommended to be applied.
@@isakdellmark9173 bro are you serious there's no racing driver that does wipe the dishes.
Because dying is sexy when done in a car
I don't even wait to finish watching the whole video ,instead I immediately like the video.
Your edits are crazy man keep it up.
Cool. Thanks.
M a student, ur vdos r really helpful, regarding steering wheel hold i often do tht, bcz nvr thot on air bag point. Thanks fr well explained n wonderfully taught vdos.
Your videos are incredible! Thank you! I brushed my car against a pole while turning right in a parking lot (it was too tight...). Would you have any tips?
Yes. Get some distance away from obstacle to the opposite side when turning. So if the pole is on your right, turn your wheel to the left before approaching the pole to get some distance from it, then turn right. Just like trucks or buses do at intersections when they turn. For example, if a truck wants to turn right on a tight street, he'll do an arc to the left before turning. Same principle. I'll put that in a video because it's a very common mistake with students.
Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the video! Also, there was another car driving in the opposite direction, so I kept it right even more, but that was a mistake. Maybe I should have waited and let it go first?
Yes. People that are in their own lane always have priority over people who have to go into their lane.
Me watching this after my dad told me never to turn any of these ways and that I need to watch videos on how to steer🧍♀️
I am taking lessons, preparing for g2 license, I never understood my instructor, but I understood to do hand over hand from this video. Thanks.
Need to watch all ur video been practising since yestrday it helps.thank u
Thank you so much for ALL your VERY HELPFUL videos!!! Can you please dedicate a tutorial specifically for turning on windy roads like in this video where you used the milking method? I am still not confident with the wheel and I have found myself in an occasion where I was turning on a windy road where the car was turning appropriately, but my 2 hands stayed in place and were basically crossed over as if to make an "x" shape. It seems like a continuous problem where I am overturning the wheel because of anxiety even though the car is being turned appropriately. I also seem to have trouble with slowing down and keeping the car at an appropriate speed to make a complete left or right turn without "overturning".
I have a video on "Turning" coming soon where I discuss that. But basically, if you don't turn the wheel that much, you don't need to cross your hands.
Thank you :)
i am a new learner driver from Quebec and i am on my 4th lesson but i have trouble turning the wheel when turning at sharp turns or on the road especially after a stop sign. Could you do a video explaining how to turn smoothly?
I guess vision is your problem You're either looking at the floor or in front. Look where you want to go. I have a few videos on that coming.
Short and sweet, well done!
This is very helpful because it will give the theory part and also the practical part

Dominic Toretto fanbois : "But muh 1969 doge charger has no airbags soooooo"
lmao
I honestly use the wiping the dishes method for everything. For some reason I despise hand over hand and I find milking the cow useless other than one situation. But other than that I use wiping the dishes for everything. I drive with 1 hand 😬
Omg all 3 really are important!!! Thanks man, such an easy tutorial
I paased my road test in new york last week,thank you so much dear instructor for your helpful and informative videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I do “hand over hand” when turning or “wiping the dishes”, but I thought you aren’t supposed to cross hands in Texas?
Could be. It's not a law but I heard they might require it at the exam.
now I have the right reasons to hold the steering wheel in right way... don't just tell people what is the right way but also why it's right.... thanks
I agree with you. I never considered the location of the airbag and I was totally going to try putting my hand in the steering wheel. I will never do it now.
I have learnt from your videos a lot
No doubt a great instructor
Smoothly, clear explanation... Thanks 😊 Mann
I like hand over hand when doing tight maneuvers because I feel like I have the most control but my dad gets mad and says I should milk the cow instead, which I don’t like because it takes longer to fully rotate the wheel.
Your dad is wrong. Mine says hand over hand is obligatory in tight turns.
I didn’t realize it was hard driving with two hands😂😂😂😂
Pretty good, with the exception of keeping your thumbs out of the center of your wheel as well. This goes along the same line as incurring injury to your wrist. Not sure how much this is important in small vehicles but for large somewhat tactical vehicles particularly those without power steering thumb injury happens far more often than you would think. The best way to avoid this is to get away from the 10 and 2 obsolescence. You're much better served floating your thumbs above your centerline steering panel but away from the airbag. this will keep your thumbs out of the inside of the wheel and away form the airbag as well. "As suggested "(no manufacturer recommends due to law suits) control of the vehicle . Anyway 10 & 2 is obsolete for many reasons but is better than most. The only direct information now provided is equa distant apart on opposite sides of the steering wheel.
Good tips thanks! I’m going for my Gs tomorrow so I wanted to make sure I would do this right😅 I’m used to steering with one hand but I’ll have to break that habit fast! Oh and the one time I was injured by my airbag I had both my hands at 2 and 10 o’clock and all it did was scratch my wrist very slightly, coulda been worse if I’d been holding the wheel wrong! Good to know 👌🏽
