Thanks Chris. I’ve been following all your videos since and I applied everything I learned from your videos today in my driving test in London Tolworth. I had the 7am test. I passed on first Attempt with 2 minor faults only for hesitation on a busy roundabout and Control - Gears. I actually watched the Show Me, tell me questions again today to refresh my memory and they asked me the same things 😂. And the reverse Bay parking video as well helped because that’s what I got. Happy driving everyone:))
Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind words and for sharing your driving test experience. Congratulations on passing your test on your first attempt with only 2 minor faults - that's amazing! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the videos helpful and that you were able to apply what you learned during your test. It's always great to hear success stories like yours. Keep up the good work and happy driving! :)
as i am about to begin my next stage as a PDI from next week i find your videos are extremely useful and plan to show pupils them as a "heads up " what to expect during in lessons . Thank You
I just subscribed and started washing your videos today, you teaches so well and you are more detailed than my instructor. Easier to understand. I wish you can be my instructor
Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the videos, I'm so pleased to hear that they were helpful to you. And congratulations on passing your driving test! That's amazing news and I'm so happy for you. Keep up the safe driving and enjoy it 🙂
Thank you this video helped a lot I had my lesson where we covered this for the first time yesterday evening and I feel I may have subconsciously picked up the crossing arms from being in others cars so it was a bit challenging getting my head around this technique however after watching this I have a better understanding and am excited to try it out next time I am behind the wheel
A few variations I use is to allow some overlap of the hands on the steering wheel to smooth the transition between one hand and the other, and also to allow the hands to go past 12 o'c otherwise I might find it hard to keep the wheel in certain positions
Bro i've been doing like 50 hours of driving so far and all this time i've been adjusting the seat only half correctly, my instructor showed me the first few times but i forgot the whole procedure since then. No wonder my legs get tired after about 10 minutes... the chair is way too low down in my dad's car, i just assumed because my legs reach the pedals with a slight bend it didn't need adjusting. Jeez, I realize now how important it is to constantly review the fundamentals.
American police use this technique but with down hand position. With this technique if I need to turn left I need to push steering wheel with right hand first, with hand position on the video I need to pull steering wheel with left hand
I would argue that crossing hands/arms is OK, because you can only really do it at low speeds. At higher speeds (where the airbag would deploy on a collision), the car moves so much in response to steering that you simply can't move your arms enough to cross them without also crashing. At the lower speeds where you CAN cross arms, the airbag isn't likely to be triggered by a crash. However, there IS an argument to be made for not moving your arms in such a way that you block your own vision, which maybe could happen with crossing arms. That is a potential risk if you were parking and pedestrians were in close proximity. Thanks for all the great advice over the years.
Push pull is the right way for beginners so you can get used to exactly how much the wheel needs to turn and straighten out to make it around a given corner but once you learn your car and how the steering behaves letting it self straighten is easier and you can keep your hands on the wheel but just tighten or loosen your grip as needed to let the wheel move through your hands.
My instructor had me doing push and pull method on busy junctions today on first ever driving lesson. I was so overwhelmed and confused. Kept yelling at me.
I'm sorry to hear that. It was also my first time driving today and my instructor also just yelled at me about steering while not giving me clear instruction. I was so confused and definitely so overwhelmed.
@@menle6371 I wonder why 98% of instructors always yell. No one learns from yelling compared to calmly telling them what to do and how to do it right. But no, they rather yell lol.
@@thor8419 yes I did last month. The one I mentioned above was my first attempt then I failed again in my second attempt with 2 majors , again it was same “steering control” & “clearance” but I finally passed on my 3rd attempt with 4 minors! If you’re still learning, don’t give up. You’ll eventually get there. All the best 😊

I got surprisingly angry at the notion that the video would end so soon. You really got me there Chris!

Hey Chris, thank you for all your videos I ended up binge watching them over the months and I passed my driving test today with 3 minors 😊

Cris, learning from you is pleasurable. You're a good instructor. Thank you.
Thanks for your nice comment :)
You put every details in 1 video
Thanks
Appreciate you watching 👍

This video is fun to watch

The intro is everything 😂😂😂
Super techniques
thanks Chris ❤
Appreciate you watching 🙂
I'm watching from Nigeria. Tried the push pull technique today but my instructor said that's a bad way of steering😢.
Great videos ❤ about time they got rid of the 10 to 2 hand on wheel crap
The very start of the video is literally how I steer lol
Which gear would be appropriate to go down a steep hill

Good comment. Some drivers rest one hand at the top of the steering wheel when driving at high speed which could be a problem in an accident.
You're so calm. Can I have a lesson with you?
Sure 😂
@@worlddriving how would I book?
Let me know if you can work with me. Thanks
I got 3 minors for steering. But my instructor has never told me my steering was bad.
Perhaps you just did it wrong on the test.
Push pull is the right way for beginners so you can get used to exactly how much the wheel needs to turn and straighten out to make it around a given corner but once you learn your car and how the steering behaves letting it self straighten is easier and you can keep your hands on the wheel but just tighten or loosen your grip as needed to let the wheel move through your hands.

@@thor8419 a driving instructor who yells at someone brand new to driving for not being good enough is a shitty instructor
I'm sorry to hear that. It was also my first time driving today and my instructor also just yelled at me about steering while not giving me clear instruction. I was so confused and definitely so overwhelmed.

When I was doing my test I was told we had to use 2 hands on the steering wheel if we use 1 it can be dangerous
You should use 2 hands unless you're using a control or physically can't 🙂
you sound like bear Grylls 😧

I failed my test on Thursday with one serious fault and that was “steering control”☹️
have you passed since this comment?

hello chirs what car did you use in this video?
Hello! Ford Puma 👍
Notification - how to "steer" a car..
What i read- how to steal a car...🤦🏻♂️
Hi Chris,
Is it OK to hold the steering wheel when in the act of turning left/right with whichever hand you are using?
Hi! As long as you're in control :)
Najifunza gari kwa Leo ni siku ya 9 lkn sielewi😢😢😢
Ninaelewa, lakini inaweza kuwa ngumu mwanzoni. Endelea kujifunza na utaendelea kuboresha.
Why would you turn like 1.5-2 rotations going 100-200 mph lol
too late, already dropped the plate.
