Good Steering Technique
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Here is show good steering technique using the push pull method. This is how we are taught to drive in the UK.
Good steering helps us to keep control of the steering wheel as one hand is always gripping the wheel.
Good steering is part of the advanced driving that we can learn better after our driving test.

Man’s driving a cupboard

It looks like an XK Jaguar from where I am viewing. They are a class act.
@iainmacleod4007 it’s an XK8 Jaguar. Probably the best engine they made.
@@ChimpOnCars I have owned more Jaguars in my 60 years than any other marque. Up until recently they were very classy, not so sure about the latest offerings though.
True, I’ve switched to BMW for my modern now. Love the old Jags but you need to be prepared for electronic issues that will be difficult to diagnose and fix unless you go for the pre Ford era.
one of the best cleanest driving tips on UA-cam thx
Thank you 🙏
I just started learning to drive am struggling with steering like this my instructor said to me try using a plate pretending it’s a steering wheel haven’t tried it yet as had my first lesson today will give it a go as I’m struggling with stearing
Ur not alone im also struggling with managing how steer the weel and keep it in position but we got this don’t give up
@@Lifeewithmiaaa yes we do one step at a time we will do this
Using a plate is a good way to practice, just don’t drop it
Proper class 👏🏻
Hii
Thanks
Thank u for this😭Last week I practiced with my dad and we were making one of these turns. I almost crashed into a car cause i didn’t know when to push the steering wheel the other way once the car was fully turned. Now i am pretty much terrified of driving again😅
How is it going, did you get better or did you crash?
Good luck, I hope it’s going better now. Steering becomes very easy with practice.
Steering wheel on right? thats sure comfy
love it
Definitely
Thanks very much sir you have really helped me to be a licensed driver. Appreciating you all the way from Zambia 🇿🇲.
🙏 thank you
I am doing my lessons at the moment (yes I left it quite late, age 35), and having issues with one of my hands moving only the other one stays in the same position 😅🤦🏼♂️. I also turn either to early (hitting curb) or late, then I end up in the other lane and if there was a car, I would be in trouble. I guess practice..
I’ve taught plenty your age and a lot higher, I’m sure you will be fine.
The steering will become instinctive soon enough, maybe you are overthinking it at the moment. Practice will make progress, good luck and let us know how you are getting on in a few weeks.
@@ChimpOnCars Thank you🤗. Yes, I am too harsh on myself and have tendency to overthink. Having said that, I have a very good instructor, just need to put my mindset into it🤓. Thank you and definitely will let you know how it goes.😊
Play racing games man im 18 and i taught myself to drive on racing games the only part i had trouble with is parking
I'm used to single hand steering most of the time specially if I need to use the clutch fast in traffic.
Not sure I’ve ever needed a hand free to use the clutch but good point if you do.
Good tips to drive car 🙏😊👍
Thank you
People that steer w one hand👁👄👁
😎
"So you're gonna want to get your passenger to assist with steering" lol
The best steering technique is great, but it may be prudent to teach people how to use that stick that connects to the column of that steering wheel. I'm not talking about the one that removes water from the windshield either!
I recently bought a BMW and found that they are fitted as standard
Is it really that bad crossing your arms?
Anyways, nice video
Yes because if u get into a collision and the airbag comes out it’s not a soft thing it’ll hit your arm and it’ll break the beginning feels like a hard punch
@@shaz0524 yeah, But if you feed the wheel you can’t put a precise input into the car’s direction, therefor under steering or over steering leading to a crash?
I think if you are under steering or over steering then you are going too fast. This is not a tutorial for a race track just normal road driving.
The airbag is an interesting concept because yes it could help but most countries don't adopt the pull push method so I don't think it is that dangerous considering cars would need to change to sell international. I do think that hand over hand or crossing the hands can in fact allow you to steering quicker and have more control. But you can run out of steering.@@shaz0524
@@shaz0524its better to have more/better control for maneuvring the car. in both cases your gonna get hit.
Damn, this guy savage 💀
Steering technique is good, I don't see a problem
Thank you
However, newer cars actually have a self returning steering wheel, and the way engineers achieved it is not by adding a kind spring nor an automatic system, but by moving the caster angle back, so it is slightly diagonal, so once you release the steering, a restoring torque will happen due to the movement of the car and the caster angle, which will bring the front wheels back to their original position.
My oldest car is 1935 and it’s steering will straighten by itself. The reason that we don’t use this is a question of safety.
Most cars will do that, it's not some new fangled technology. It's not like there are motors that physically turn your wheel back to straight after you're done turning. It's a result of the way the steering rack itself was designed, and also how physical technicalities of the changing of direction indubitably functions, abiding by the unbreakable laws of physics. Anyway, I have to go now. I think I left my quantum fluxuator on (it's what I use to charge my flux capacitor). I'll see you in 1977, or... however that works
Cars have had caster angle as long as bicycles have existed.
That is the only reason the wheel returns to centre.
You could remove the steering rack entirely, the wheels would still track straight as long as there’s a bar connecting the two together.
Relying on the restoring force is poor driving technique, when the steering wheel is slipping through your hands you have no control over the direction of the car.
A good driver can feed in the steering and return it back with precision whilst always having one hand static on the wheel at any given time.
@gtjack9 my driving instructor is literally teaching me to let it return to the middle on its own, but like you said that literally feels so unsafe to me, when i can literally just control it manually.
As the others have stated in this thread, it works but it’s not the safest technique.
cool but I'm jealous seeing your steering wheel, feel like edging already
Great comment, that was an amazing car
I’m my opinion I think it’s better to glide it back. Think it’s more dangerous to pull it.
Thank you for sharing
Thats not the best way to do it. On some turnings you won't be able to turn quick enough.
You can if you practice
But when you're a beginner level driver , and so nervous why am I forgetting which side to turn steer back. What should be the best method un that case😢
Thankfully that becomes easier with practice, like tying a shoelace.
If you need extra cheap practice then get short term insurance (link in description) and a full license holder. Head to a quiet industrial estate or car park and just put some practice in steering around things and into gaps.
Short, informative and excellent teaching.
Thank you so much!
I just got my student license. I tried to steer like this and I almost went overshooting, quite scary. Btw I have a friend who has a DL when I was driving. Still need practice. Hehehe.
Try driving slower while you practice if you are overshooting
That is very useful for your practical test! I’m sure students will benefit from this video but if anyone drives like this after the test… that’s when I start to question things 😅
How long ago did you pass your test?
@@ChimpOnCars I’d say around 4 or 5 years ago. I’ve started driving around 2 and a half years ago now.
Excellent, try feeding the wheel for your slow around town driving. It is a great way to steer if you give it a go and practice it enough to do it well.
@@ChimpOnCars gave it a go today. On the slow parts of course and it was quite difficult since I hadn’t done that in so long. I drive one handed most the time since I drive manual and one handed steering is very practical for me. I also cross my arms for some turns and at roundabouts I feed the steering wheel for maximum control
Once the movement is muscle memory it becomes really easy.
Can be very rewarding on a twisting country lane or a hairpin pass.
sir is this applicable in all general types and brands of cars? whether it's an suv or sedan?
Yes all cars and trucks on the road. Racing and track day techniques are different.
bri'ish good driving yes, but not good when you need precision
Very precise if done correctly
Helps a lot sir gotta driving test tomorrow bc yesterday I kept crossing my arms
You got this!
True that but give yourself 3 months knowing your car U won’t do that if someone is falling u or u in hurry for work 😂😂 this is long
You will get quicker with practice
The most stupid technic 😂😂 never ever drive like this
Great profile pic, helps us understand and value your comment
Bro you explain this so well lol I couldn’t even understand in the USA English 😂😂
Everytime ive seen someone do this form of steering its just resulted in quick jittery motions. Way better to just criss cross hands
This is how you would fail an American Driving test.
We do things properly over here 😉
Lol for sure bcuz once that hand comes down on that bottom half it’s over for you! I’m struggling w this now; what’s comfortable for me vs how they want my hand’s positioned.
@@ChimpOnCarsexcept you still drive on the wrong side of
@@KubanKevin our roads are different to yours. It’s the right way for us, that’s why the steering wheel is on the opposite side too.
Finally I found what is my instructor wants me to do ,thank you for a video .
Fantastic, good luck!
Very helpful thanks mate
You’re welcome
Granny steering technique 😅
Nan always knows best
Been having my lesson i really find this difficult😢
This is the WORST steering method. The best method is hand over hand that allows better control of the wheel, faster steering in an emergency and less chance of the wheel escaping your grip even in rough terrain. You got a NO-GO at this station, go back to retraining.
This is a good method that we teach for advanced driving on roads. Off road would be a bit different.
But i use single hand bruh
Nice
I let the wheel straighten itself
Hopefully not on your driving test but if you are happy to have less control over the position of the wheel its up to you
@@ChimpOnCars I don’t completely let go of the wheel I let it slide in my hands so if I need to correct it then I can
@@Jack-ny4vuin Canada it's ok on test to let wheel straighten out by gently but closely letting go the wheel, driving instructors teach that way too so maybe in your country it's not recommended
How to pass your test
Definitely
i never know how much i need to turn the wheel for a turn like i always end up turning too much for some reason
It will become a lot easier as you drive more. Your first lessons should be on easy roads where your instructor can help as needed.
Good luck 🤞🏻
@@ChimpOnCars hopefully 🤞 tysm
@@alex-ju2bdtip : just look far wherever you intend to go, you'll probably automatically go there without much effort!
Do you turn the wheel all the way ?
You can if needed
Who actually steer like this?😮
I do, quite a few others too
@@ChimpOnCars thanks for reply
I respect your style I was just taught in the driver's school that it's not good to steer like that.
Btw I just sterted driving a week ago😆
Very good
Thanks
This is mid steering bud 😅
how to press horn in turning both hand busy in steering..
You will probably need to take one hand off as using another part of your body will be more difficult
Do professional rally drivers do this?
No, this is a road driving video. Check out rally driving videos for steering tips on that topic.
Oliver Solberg races in the world rally championship and he posted a video a few days ago of a rally and he was using this technique during a rally, the current WRC champion also uses it while drifting and street driving.
Steering like that in black and white is less hazardous as you have both hands on the wheel at all times = full control of the vehicle. HOWEVER this is the first habit I’ve heard many instructors say you should break when you’ve passed.
For proper reactive driving, you should cross hands to steer quicker. There have been many instances of new drivers crashing because they have been unable to steer quick enough around a tight junction or to exit a small roundabout or avoid an obstacle because they have been shuffling the steering wheel as you show here.
I’ve never recommended any of my students forget this skill after passing so I would be interested to know where you get your stats from to support this.
Drive with one hand on the wheel. And when driving fast, use 2 hands but I’ve never used this technique after my test was passed and immediately broke from this teaching. It’s very impractical and less responsive turning with this technique, I feel I got less control of the car than when I use 1 hand or cross my arms while steering
@@ChimpOnCars are there any stats for this method?
Imo, turning the wheel in a crossing motion is safer as it is objectively quicker which is why racing drivers do not use the method you showed.
This wasn't enough more videos on staring
There are a couple on the channel. This is the latest.
Hand Over Hand Steering - Steering Control Car Driving And Driving Test
ua-cam.com/video/LB2jEnDN4xg/v-deo.html
pretty sure that’s not exactly the proper or correct way to steer
I’m pretty sure it is
It looks easy but it’s not
Practice makes progress
This is best for street driving as it keeps your arms out the way of the air bag (exactly why it’s taught this way)
Though hand over hand at 9 and 3 is usually best for sportier driving
The airbags would cause a lot of damage if your arm was across it!
@@ChimpOnCars sorry if i wasnt being clear. Thats exactly what I'm saying
hand over hand should only be used in auto sports
Definitely, I was agreeing with you. Thank you for commenting and keeping good driving skills alive!
This shuffle steering is so childish
Really?
@@ChimpOnCars not childish, but definitely not efficient.
@@zeropoint3518 ua-cam.com/video/1COvnSjLLw4/v-deo.htmlsi=y_NX0m9OEngS7_R5&t=77
It's just for passing your driving test. Nobody really knows why this became the "gold standard" of steering, but it's the way the system was set up and you just gotta do it. I guess the main reason is because it helps to avoid a situation where the airbag goes off and breaks your arms. That would suck. It's just one of those "just in case" typa things I guess.
the body position always will look funny when tall people drive in a small car 😂
Always
Can i use same for 360?
Not sure what you mean
the worst and most insecure technique!
The opposite in fact but thanks for watching
@@ChimpOnCars opposite? Are you serious?
@@ChimpOnCars Have you ever seen such a technique from a rally pilot or other profession?
Ok, I see the confusion. You think you should drive like a rally driver on the road? This is a demonstration for a good steering technique on the road by a professional driver. If you can’t do it then practice or give up and do whatever you currently do.
The best technique is the safest, even if it doesn't look cool. Because looking cool does not prevent accidents
Thank you very .mich.
Thank you too
My french instructor won’t let me do this 😢
That's unfortunate
How do you get better at feeding it though it feels so unnatural
Most things improve with practice and this is no different.
Next week…. Chewing 😆😆
Good idea
Thank you so much im still learning this but it helped alot im only on a second lesson though lol
Awesome, it will get a lot easier as you practice more
Wrong
Or different to what you do?
I use one hand 🤣
Some people do
Is it 90's jaguar xk?
Yes, this was built in 2000
@@ChimpOnCars nice car
Thank you
That's not proper turning of steering wheel
It is.
It is when your car doesn't automatically rotate back to its regular position when you let go.
@@ChimpOnCarsit is to pass a driving test, in reality it’s a bad technique
Yes it is and it’s part of the Police class 1 driving manual “ Roadcraft”. Perhaps you should get yourself a copy and learn from it instead of spouting nonsense.
Is handover hand method good in junction
You can but feeding the wheel works in all situations too
No such thing as proper steering technique, whatever feels comfortable to you (within reason) is the correct technique
Keep up the sound advice on your area of expertise
he never mentioned "proper" or "correct"
1950's Hendon police academy shuffle, every test driver working in the automotive industry or motorsports will tell you thats not the way to do it as you can't keep track of the straight ahead position without looking
This is not recommended for motorsport, lots of commenters confusing this for a motorsport instructional video!
Very easy to know the straight ahead position with whichever steering technique you use.
can someone tell me what is this car?
It’s a Jaguar XK8
@@ChimpOnCars thanks 👍
I only have one arm so...🤷♂️
Sorry to hear that, you will have been taught to use a steering adapter
ive tried this method of steering and i feel like i have more control of my vehicle when i turn.
Excellent
Hmmm, it's easier to pull the steering wheel down than try and push up! Just saying!
Hmmm 🤔
Give it a go on a mini roundabout
Just did on my way home, it worked perfectly. If you can't manage it yet then you just need a little more practice.

It should be hand over hand

It should never be hand over hand

A great chef
Nah you’re adding a degree of complexity to something that is very easy in most modern cars, this is only useful with no power steering, otherwise it’s another thing to get distracted with
It’s not too complex as it becomes instinctive with a little practice
@@ChimpOnCars if you say so, i think you have less control no matter how good you get at it, I think it’s counter intuitive and therefore when pressure situations arise, even seasoned drivers will get confused to where their hands to wheel radius are exactly, especially in a manual car. If you need to react, you need to react, and if you’re trained to push pull, you ain’t reacting in time lmao
Maybe I am of a higher intellect than others as I’ve never found myself confused as to where my hands are? As a professional driver and high mileage commuter before that I’ve covered a lot of miles so would probably have dealt with more difficult situations than you can imagine!
I believe that I’m fairly normal but thank you for suggesting otherwise!
worst steering technique overall btw
Really? 🤔
Ah the British did it again smh 🤦♂️
If you mean did it correctly then thank you. There is no need to smack your head though 😉 too many blunt trauma up there and you might do some damage.
That’s good
Thank you
tbf, once you become an experienced driver, most of the time you turn with one hand. But good technique nonetheless.
With experience comes complacency
well put@@ChimpOnCars
Feeding the wheel is an awful technique for everyday driving
Many people including me would disagree but you are welcome to do as you wish
@@ChimpOnCars just because a few people agree with you, doesn’t mean it is better… It’s jerky, slow. If in an emergency where you have to suddenly have to apply a lot of steering angle, say icy conditions. The jerkiness and speed that you can apply steering angle, will make it far more unsafe than crossing arms etc.
I’m not sure you understand how if you are not capable of doing this then that is a lack of practice on your part. I can’t play the trumpet but that doesn’t mean that trumpets are no good, it just means that I haven’t put the work in.
As you can see from my video it doesn’t have to be jerky or slow. With practice anyone, including you, could do this.
If you don’t want to that’s fine but you don’t have to suggest that nobody is capable of doing this just because you can’t.
@@ChimpOnCarstry to turn the wheel really fast while feeding and keeping both hands touching the wheel. It WILL be jerky, crossing arms is always more efficient, faster, and smoother.
I also didn’t suggest that nobody is capable of doing it, as long as you have two arms - you can do it easily.
Just because you used capital letters doesn’t make your statement correct.
Watch the video, it’s not jerky. Sit next to a professional driver and it will not be jerky. Come and see me drive and again, you probably guessed it, it will not be jerky.
I love your commitment to your premise and hope you can apply yourself equally in your chosen career.
Use a steering knob
They are a useful adaption for disabled drivers
Isn’t this how most people in every country drive?
Most people have passed the test and have no interest in advanced driving after that
Nobody drives like that though 😮
They still do and it is expected on advanced driving tests. Join your local Institute of Advanced Motorists and the course will take you from a good driver to a great driver.
The slowest steering technique
The turtle and the hare
I live in the US but I can drive in the UK it’s not that bad
Welcome
Isn’t the best technique over hand steering on 🔝
Not necessarily but as long as you have full control then you are safe
ok granny
You are welcome grandson/ daughter or whatever you identify as?
You guys don't steer with 1 arm like a boss? No? Damn...
We do but not on a driving test 😉
Dats gay af
You need to get out more!
I did that in a driving test and failed because of that. I sometimes still "clean my plate" as my instructor called it even after 7 years of owning my license. But most of the time i try not to.
I've not heard of clean the plate before.
LMAO
Don’t do that, you need it for speaking
I don’t know why every time he says junction I die 😂😂😂😂 not used to that because in Canada or western world we call it intersection
Happy to help extend one’s vocabulary
Very unsafe steering
It’s actually the opposite, take an advanced driving course if you are interested in taking your driving to the next level
@@ChimpOnCars it's not lol, lemme ask you a question, why dont race drivers drive like that? 🤷🏽♂️
Ok, I see the confusion now. This is a video about driving in a residential road in a road car. You are looking for videos on racing skills.
@@ChimpOnCars I’m not looking for racing videos, I’m comparing the two but I get your point , it’s still unsafe to drive like that even in residential areas
Ok great, I’m sure you know best.
Slow down man
Thank you
You’re not supposed to be turning like that, the first method you used, was the “milking cow” method, and the second one that you used, is more dangerous than the first, because you can break your wrist.
Both the same push pull steering method. I’ve never heard it called milking the cow and can assure you that it would be impossible to break a wrist doing it.
Thanks for watching and commenting though!
@@ChimpOnCars ohh okay, thanks for replying 🙏🏽💯
That's not how you drive

@@DriftNickthis is quite literally only done when drifting as far as competitive racing goes and they yank the wheel more
@@walterwhite6490 I already told you that Oliver Solberg was doing it while racing, it was also during a tarmac rally, the reason you don't really see it for with circuit racing is because they do not turn the wheel enough, there is no need for it if you can keep your hands on the wheel, you'll often see it on older cars on tight corners though.
As for it's use in drifting, you aren't using it to yank the wheel, in fact I mostly use it in drifting when trying to straighten the wheel smoothly.
Shuffle steering
We love a shuffle
