Question

im taking driving class im great at handling the all the pedals.but my tutor said im bad at controlling the steering.this mean really bad!how can i improve my steering handling?

Answer 1

A good steering technique starts with the correct driving position. This should be as low as possible with the seat back upright. You should be sitting close enough to the wheel that you have full control. Too many people sit too far from the wheel and end up with a straight arm driving position which gives very little power to turn the wheel and also very tired arms after long periods of driving.

A good way of judging the correct position is to lay your arm straight out over the wheel with your shoulders in their normal position. When you have done this look at what point the top of the wheel touches your arm. If you are in the correct position your wrist area is resting on the wheel. From this position steering should become far less tiring.

Next are the correct positions of your hands on the wheel. Most people have heard of and use the 10 to 2 position. This is okay, but the 9 to 3 position is much better and is my preferred option. It's logical really, as at this position your hands are opposite each other and at the widest diameter of the wheel, giving you the benefit of less steering effort.

This also eliminates the chance of inadvertently steering too acutely, as both hands are never on the same side of the wheel pulling in the same direction. One is always pushing and one pulling. From this position the wheel can be turned freely through nearly 180 degrees without you having to let go of the wheel. This will get you through most corners on a country road and you always know where the wheels are pointing because your hands have never come off the wheel.

Answer 2

I have the opposite problem atleast when going in low speeds.

For steering remember that its all about slow motions. A few degree turn is all you need.

Answer 3

you need much more instruction you need to be able to do everything
