- How to steer a car correctly. Learning how to control the steering wheel when you first start learning to drive is very important and being able to steer the car correctly will help you to control the car around corners and will give you confidence in your driving skills.
We will be using the 10 to 2 method of steering the steering wheel, some people call it the pull and push method.
I will show you a demonstration at the start of how to steer the steering wheel correctly using the 10 to 2 method. Then I will be driving around with the camera pointing at the steering wheel. I will cover turn left and right and also emerging left and right. #steering

I'll buy u a coffee
Can you help me. Why when correcting the wheels after making a full turn . I cannot do it , it takes forever for me to straighten the wheels. I even tend to go on the upcoming traffic.
@@lakshanatulsi112 all you need to do is slow the car down more into the turn. That will give you more time to complete things. Good luck
hello, I want to make a guide for the first time. I want to learn something. What do I need? Can you give me some advice on how to start, please?😊
After watching so many videos on how to steer correctly, I finally got it here.🙏
Safe driving
New Zealand road code requires us to drive with this technique. I may not like it but it's how it is. You demonstrated excellent driving ability, it's the matter of getting use to it before my test Thank you so much for showing me this!
Thank you and good luck with your test.
I struggled so much with this on my first lesson I was fine doing it when the instructor was saying left to the bottom right to the top but when he didn’t I almost froze but this is the best video I seen thank you so much
Good luck with your driving lessons. Some of these videos from my learn to drive playlist might help you with your future lessons ua-cam.com/play/PLhk312x91yijeRZ0d-ijwMg_PAKpvo726.html
could you do a video explaining how MUCH you should turn depending on the bends severity.
I have watched a few of you videos now. I have got to say you are really good at explaining things clearly. I wish you where my instructor. I feel my instructor is impatient and gets frustrated if I do something wrong. I think I am going to change my instructor. I have said to him a couple of times "you have got to remember I am learning". Still his attitude is bad.
Skankhunt42 thank you for watching the videos. Good luck with your lessons.
Learn-to-drive Travis thanks mate
Skankhunt42 Even my instructor is impatient. Even m facing same problem like u ... but sadly I CNT change my instructor now ..
Hope things improve and you pass first time.
Learn-to-drive Travis your teaching method is very nice ... now m learning from watching your videos ...
The push pull method feels so natural and so easy.
It is
This technique is just to satisfy the examiner. It's not practical in the real world.
My thoughts to. You can't steer fast like that. Hand over hand is safer in my opinion.
I agree with some of the comments here - with modern cars that have power steering, hand-to-hand is an antiquated technique. And moving the steering wheel back after turning is redundant - the steering wheel will come back on it's own - just open your fingers and let it recover, and then make adjustments in steering. As the suggested video on the right - this is a technique you should un-learn after you get your licence. Unfortunately, you need to know it and do it to pass the test. All the best, Cheers Rick
Zurkster it might work for you but you probably are a hazard to everybody else on the road which causes accidents for other people. The amount of times I see people who feed the wheel over break at junctions causing people driving at the speed to limit to break hard just so they can turn the corner it’s dangerous as well as indicating late. So although you might not think you’re doing any wrong for it but that person who’s had to break hard behind you could have been shunted by someone else.
@@elpatron3446 We see some pretty awful stuff on these threads, but that one just takes the biscuit. If drivers have to brake on approach to a turn, it's because they're going to fast. What's that got to do with the way they turn the wheel, for God's sake?
And if the air bag goes off I’ll take the broken arm
Hey you are a god send!!!!!
Steering is one of those things that as I've gone further in to my lessons I've lost the ability to do correctly, my instructor explains, by saying don't cross your arms and it's not a white knuckle ride , but still couldn't work out what and how I was meant to be doing it ( temporarily dippy moment)
This video explained and showed me everything I needed to know, it was a dahdahhhhhh moment.
Thankyou James, these videos are getting me through this and will get me through my test!
You're simple the best!
⭐️
Lesson today , so I'll put it in to practice.
Doh simply the best lol
+Happysmilee Jojo good luck with your lesson
Hi Travis, I've just found your channel and your uploads are really helpful. Thank you for your help and advice. It's really appreciated.
Happy to help. Thank you for watching
I thought his coffee were a tin of beans at first lol
I have always been doing this way and I like it.
So happy was I'll last week so missed my first lesson after 9months of not having any been watching your videos and today I managed to go straight back to doing left emerges, left turns etc and my instructor said my steering was perfect which I was so happy with so I just wanted to say thank you :)
That’s great news. Keep up the good driving
@@JamesTravis thank you :)
thank you soooooo much your video really helped me out to drive in safely o my daily life
+Kemal Yassin glad they helped.
I finally know how to turn the wheel :D
Really appreciate it,
I haven’t done yet the booking for the practice and I’m feeling nervous already.
Thank you for watching and good luck on your driving lessons.
Your videos are amazing and very very helpful Big thanks for sharing sir.
Thank you for watching
Some people have alleged this is a dangerous steering technique, nonsense. The government would not permit anything intrinsically dangerous on driving tests. Many years ago faults on the driving test included CAT and CAB for steering. This was crossing hands at top and bottom respectively. No longer the case steering faults are now outcome based. The system is tricky to master extremely effective for general road use but totally not cool. Emergency manoeuvres have been mention as a weak point not sure if that is true, not had one in past twenty years, but the best system in an emergency is "the emergency stop". Stopping in a straight line is preferred prior to considering swerving. I remember seeing a video of an uninjured guy whose car was on its roof who said "I swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel". My advice is that if you can master it use this very safe system. Travis has put out a lot of good information on driving why would he wrong on steering? If there is a superior system nobody has described what it is.
I've been taught by both instructors i've had to move my left hand just above where the right hand is to turn left as it's easier to get the car round especially for the really tight corners
I don't have to worry about crossing my arms as i don't have an airbag 😁
As an experienced driver, i do let the wheel slide, and use one hand a lot. So I really need to get this in my head, just for the test anyway
Will try this on my next lesson as currently for example my left hand follows the right when i turn the wheel
Good luck
liked it. kindly tell about gear changing. you are doing it effortlessly.
Sidra Naz thank you. Yes I will
Gear changing should not be rushed, if it is you will find you will miss gears and just off clutch causing car to judder. Plan your approach and give yourself time to do your gear changing.
Travis School of Motoring ok thank you
Very helpful video on lesson 14 and can't get the steering driving me mad cant seem to do it this way
Michelle Fredericks it gets easier
Thanx your videos very helpful
you should rename this video: how not to turn a steering wheel correctly,
this method can be dangerous and uncomfortable at tight corners
Slow down at a tight corner then?
*"This method can be dangerous."* So can any other method, if it's not done properly. So what?
Top tip once you pass forget about feeding the wheel or the pull push method its the most dangerous way possible of steering your car.
*"Forget about feeding the wheel or the pull push method its the most dangerous way possible of steering your car."* Is that because it's the most dangerous way possible of steering your car - or because you say it is?
hello, I want to make a guide for the first time. I want to learn something. What do I need? Can you give me some advice on how to start, please?
Write up what the guide is about and then decide what platform to use for it.
I watched some of your videos and they are wonderful. Could you please do videos of approaching round about which are the tricky ones in Bletchley thanks.
I have done some already. Click on links below,

I cross my hands all the time a little habit and get slapped on the hand for doing so via my driving instructor . I have yet to pass my test so nervous to take it well I have to by may 😬🙈😂 it's in an automatic
I find that slowing down a bit more on the left and right turns helps
Would crossing the arms be a minor mistake on a driving test???
Hi, this is one of those questions where a lot depends on if you are crossing your hands a lot and is crossing your hands considered to be a safety to you and those around you. It will start as a minor fault depending on the situation. But if you swerve and this is a result from crossing your hands, then a serious fault.
+James Travis i meant in a situation where you do a 3 point turn or parallel parking because it is way too easier...
+WooRSte in that situation you will be fine.
Relja whats 3point turn?
Sidra Naz Turn in the road
I’ve found this method to be good for tight turns
thats great
This looks so uncomfortable🤦🏽♂️... oh well anything to pass the test.
I've noticed this was a Honda? I've got noone to take advice from in this country, but would you say Honda CIVIC or Mini Hatch is better?2009
Civic.
good
goodcar
mark
Chances that the hand actually hits your face pr brake it, are nearly zero. Any statistics to prove that this even happened before?
I was doing it that way the whole time and thought it was wrong. Luckily it wasn’t
Hello
Is Hand over hand is wrong..?
Is that serious fault..?
If you are doing hand over hand on the uk driving test, it’s not a fail(serious)if you are keeping the car under a safe control
@@JamesTravis
Thank you so much .
Just let me know please is that not serious fault or not fail at all .? If I will keeping the car under a safe control...
Hello if you cross your arms during your test Will it be a major fault?
No, if you are under control of the wheel and car.
Learn-to-drive Travis thank you
I had my first two hours today and that was the main thing I was struggling with this video helped me get a better idea of the concept
tommy purdy safe driving
How many times the wheel should be turn for a good turn
+Westley Walker A lot would depend on the turn. Some are tight turns and some are wide long turns. The best advise would be to try a left turn in first gear. Don't look at the wheel, look at where you want the car to go and follow it. Then repeat it. Once you start to get used to the turns, then use 2 nd gear.
OK cool
I've been crossing my hands on a lot of the tighter turns in my lessons but doing the pull push method the majority of the time. I have my test next week, my instructor hasn't mentioned anything about it, but would I fail for this?
Bb370 if you keep the car under control you should be ok. If it was bad your instructor would of said.
That's actually not how they teach you to steer the wheel in Italy (and you know you have to be skilled to drive in Italy :D) and, to be fair, I believe it is not an effective way at all.
sir your driveing is perfect but we can't see the way
Does anyone check there center mirror and side wing mirror after passing ??
I do
@@JamesTravis ive noticed alot of drives dont do it why is that ? Im a learner so it boggles me when i see my friends and family member not doing it
@@JawadKhan-dn8ip they become lazy and some become over confident unfortunately.
9/10 chance he doesn’t drive like this.
This is a great video if you intend to fail your driving exam!
Not in the UK it isn't. The steering technique is completely retarded and dangerous but its the one they want you to use for some reason.
Hello sir
i love you
How are you
my instructor doesn't like me on 9-3 says my arms are 'to straight'. He prefers my hands to be lower and slouched hahaha what a bozo
tell me about it haha! almost in for my test now anyway so... hope your doing well to!
ok
Not a good way to turn the wheel. Thankfully us aussies don't have to feed the wheel and can use hand over hand.
Funny after a few years of driving I don't really pay much attention to how I hold the wheel. It's just happens somehow.
Excellent
I'll be honest I had 30+ hours, passed my test and still can't do this. Not that I'm bothered obviously 😂
How am I turn the steering wheel at u-turns ?
Mnhl Daoud I want to know too
Just cross the bloody arms, it's 100 times better
for me hand over hand is more easy
Not just for you, the entire world.
It's easy to slouch instead of fixing posture but having a good posture is better. Sorry for replying to a 3/4 year old comment
give me more speed please!
you call your self a driver ? come on man...this slow motion shit could and is dangerous. no one turns like that. no one. and now you'll say that everyone's wrong. driving is not hard . you just gotta feel the car. thats it. you make it so much more complicated . sorry for my bad english.
Sorry to tell you this, but this is the worst steering technic... you will never be able to avoid an accident! "push and pull" ridículo!
In norway they tell you to cross your hands..not this bullshit
Horrible
steering like woman do
For a new driver it is important to steer safety. The push and pull method will do that. Once they have the basics of how to turn the wheel safely, then there is room for adjustment.
