  • In this Driving Tutorial video you'll learn how to steer a car properly and start to master steering wheel control including when to steer back.
    You should start learning to hold the steering wheel with hands at 10 and 2 on clock. Then use the push pull steering method where you feed the wheel.
    After you're comfortable at the wheel you'll find your preferred method of steering.
    Remember, test examiner is looking for 3 things with steering:
    1. are you in control of the car?
    2. is the car going where you want it to?
    3. are you safely in control of the steering wheel?

    I am autistic and find certain things difficult even such as steering .
    I have had over 70 lessons and 4 different instructors.
    They have never even talked about the push and pull method .
    Thankyou very much

    When I started my drivers class literally I was told to just drive. When we did I was all over the place. I was close to park cars and had to jerk over 😂 but I do think at the end I was getting the hang of it. In the end I didn't stay with that school and took a long break from learning how to drive. I am researching before I start classes and this video gave lots of good tips on steering and I will try to remember them.

    Lesson Number 1.- never steer when the car is not moving as you will damage the car front tyres and what is worse the transmission will not last to many years and depends the car you drive how much it will cost to fix it.
    Lesson Number 2 .- Pull Push steering is the best way to use steering wheel for normal driving situations but for those times when you need to steer fast like Reverse or angle parking or 3 point turn hand over hand is a much better way of steering , more ways you know how to use steering wheel the safer you will be.
    Lesson Number 3.- when you steer put your thumbs outside the wheel not in the inside.
    Lesson 4.- the tool most important in driving is your observation, keep your eyes moving all the time , look what is happening few metres in front of you and look as far as you can see to be more in control of what is coming ahead that way you will be able to have early decisions , learn to use the driver psychology think in “what about if “ to prevent stressful situations, when an accident happen is because one driver broke the rules and the other one took it for granted. I can go on and on but I think this is enough for todays lesson.

    Try to straighten out your wheel before you are parallel with the road
    Try to practice changing gears while turning a corner one hand on the wheel
    Take bigger chunks to turn the wheel so you can get a sharper turn.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that make the biggest difference, I never thought about turns of the wheel in terms of minutes and this will surely benefit me. Secondly, I was watching your interview and was wondering if you could do a parallel park demo in a video in its own right please? I have looked through your other videos and can't find one, thanks again for your excellent presentations.

He also tells me I holding the steering to tight,just relax.To bad I'm in another country, I'd definitely prefer your teachings.

    I love your videos. I think you're a brilliant instructor. I wanted to check with you about dry steering. In London when I need to get into a tight space for parking sometimes I've found it necessary to dry steer. At the same time, I've heard that it damages the steering and the tyres. What's your take on that?

    • @GetDriving
      @GetDriving  Před 3 lety +4

      Definitely avoid dry steering whenever you can, as it is very hard on your vehicle. Though, sometimes can be necessary when trying to move your car in or out of tight parking spaces, for example. Only do it when you absolutely must :)

    This i might actually try out, so i did my firsy lessons and the teacher was quiet harsh when i couldn't get the hand over hand plus idk why my first lessons was at night but i might try the push pull method. I never had experience driving and im 21 reason its do late because I had a rough life and my dad lost his license in 2017 and it's been hard getting to places. Then in 2022 my mom had a stroke so i had to do home care for her still am and this teacher just was so rough like i even told him i never had experience but i guess since im 21 im just supposed to know that. Honestly my bect lesson is tomorrow and I don't know how to deal with a yelling instructor driving at night and not focused. I don't know if its possible to change instructors because this guy was my history teacher and he's always been like that. This video did help and imma hope to get the hang of it, like my first error turn the guy got mad swearing under his breath. Its quite frustrating

  • @nevarran
    @nevarran Před 3 lety +4

    I agree with most of what you say, except the 10&2 hand position. If that was the optimal position, steering wheels would've been designed for that. But they are not, 9&3 is the proper way. Turning signal levers are on 9&3, thumb buttons on modern cars - 9&3, gear shifting paddles on sports cars - 9&3.
    And actually if you watch the driving part, you'll see how often you hold your hands exactly on 9&3.

      It's not just Francis that says this, it's the results of a study on practiced methods.

      @@kdcntn Well whoever did that study sucks. And to all the arguments I listed above I'll add racing car wheels (F1, GT3), they are designed for 9&3, you can't even hold them at 10&2.
