Many drivers, especially those that only sat down behind the wheel, think about this way: "I mainly touch me from a place, and there I will somehow go." However, this is a huge mistake. To consider yourself a real driver, you need to master all the techniques and rules of safe professional traffic: work with pedals, work with the gearbox, steering wheel and so on.

Hand position on car steering

Now consider what you make attention to almost all drivers - work with the machine control wheel.

To begin, it should be noted one ban - you should not turn the car steering wheel, which is in a fixed state and which is turned off the engine.

Such actions lead to:

- premature wear of tires;

- damage to the mechanism responsible for turning the wheels.

Keep behind the wheel need hard, but without fanatism.

The driver must maintain a comfortable effort in his hands, which will not only make a long trip without pain, but also instantly respond to any changes in traffic.

It is important, never remove both hands from the steering wheel - the roadbed is not perfect and on certain segments can be damaged, and at speed, especially high, it is hardly possible to respond in a timely manner to the unauthorized instant shift of the car movement trajectory.

Newcomers need to remember the following: when turning right, the left hand should remain on the spot, and at the left turn - right.

That is, the hand constantly lies on the steering wheel and controls the process of rotation (it, of course, moves along the steering wheel, but does not let it go).

It should be remembered that during the process of returning the steering wheel to its original position, the hand that controlled the rotation should remain in place.

The car's wheel turns 360 + 180 degrees to each of the sides, that is, it makes 1, 5 turns.

By placing hands in position 9 and 3 (10 and 2) an hour (as on the clock clock), you will not only better control the steering wheel, but during the collision you can reduce the chances of obtaining serious damage if, of course, the speed of the car was not destructive.

Power and high-speed - two ways that are designed to be rotated by the car

power method

The first way implies work, both with both hands immediately and the rotation of the steering wheel with interceptions. For example, right turn using this method:

1. The initial position of the hands on the steering wheel.

2. Move the right hand on the steering wheel so that it is mentally it gets the mark, about 12:30, like on the clock.

3. Now make a turn with the right hand, and let the left be moving down the control wheel.

4. After that, holding at the bottom of the steering wheel left hand, complete the rotation and thus turn.

5. In the final, let the rural return to its original position, relaxing his hands, but do not let them succumb to the energy of the steering wheel and move themselves, control the process.

speed way

The second method is characterized by the fact that it allows you to rotate the steering wheel much faster.

In this case, two hands can work immediately, as in the method 1.

This method provides for the possibility of crossing hands.

The minus of the use of the high-speed method is that it reduces the percentage of the feedback of the steering wheel and wheels of the car, that is, the driver does not clearly imagine where wheels are directed, their specific and accurate trajectory of movement.

If you turn into such a method and use one hand, then you need to turn the brush to another, reverse, side, and applying the power to the steering wheel, to make the turnover of the control wheel, which will be more than 180 degrees.

Presumably, on the segment at 6 o'clock, the brush will reap the steering wheel with the usual inside.

Conclusion

Of course, a person is an individual creature and therefore a way that works well with most drivers may not work for a particular person, that is for you.

To do this, soberly assess your capabilities and the level of skill to choose the optimal style that will allow you to be a worthy member of the road.

You do not need to forget that the driver's skill over the years, as good wine, becomes better and, having experience by the shoulders, it is you can create for yourself a unique, effective driving style that will be safe and accurate, such that will allow you to quickly respond to complex Conditions and with rapidly changing circumstances on the road.
