A TECHNIQUE TO ALSO USE IN DRIVING EXAMS. The first few times you drive a car, or even a motorbike, it's all a bit complicated. You find yourself having to use pedals and levers, the operation of which is not so simple or intuitive to understand at first. Everything will be resolved with a bit of practice. But before practice, you need theory, that is, you need to understand HOW to use the various controls, and then actually try to do it while driving your vehicle. The correct technique for turning the steering wheel correctly is not always so intuitive. And remember that turning it in the right way will help you to execute all the curves and turns, more or less tight, with full control. The first thing to do is to position yourself at the correct distance from the steering wheel. To check this, we will have to stretch our arms and be able to rest our wrists on the upper part. This is to ensure that, once gripped at 9:15, which is the position in which we should normally keep our hands, the arms are slightly bent, so as to allow us to turn the steering wheel without having to continually take our hands off. If I were positioned too far back in the seat, or if my backrest was too inclined, my arms would be tense from the start, not allowing me to turn the steering wheel without having to continually take them off, finding myself having to make that incorrect movement, which in instructor jargon is called milking, which will prevent me from being able to make especially the tightest turns. Let's also remember to keep our hands on the outside of the steering wheel, and never on the inside. Curves and turns are not all the same, they obviously have different radii of curvature, that is, they can be wider or narrower. And the technique we use to turn the steering wheel will not always be the same, which will have to be adapted to the various situations. Let's start from the assumption that two hands control the steering wheel much better than just one. WIDE TURNS If the turns are not too tight, try to keep both hands on the steering wheel, without taking them off. The hand opposite the turn will control the movement. That is, if the turn is to the left, the right hand will push the steering wheel while the left will simply follow the movement. Then we will bring the steering wheel back to the starting point. It is very important to control the movement, which must therefore be as linear and fluid as possible. We must not "throw" the steering wheel out the window. A fast and uncontrolled movement will probably prevent us from taking the correct trajectory, risking us ending up in the lane of the other direction of travel, or against curbs, poles, walls... SHARP TURNS Sharp turns are obviously the most difficult to execute, because they require technique and control. It is obvious that the slower we execute a turn, the easier it will be for us to control the steering wheel. Therefore, especially at the beginning, it is better to take sharp turns at a rather moderate speed, concentrating on the correct execution of the maneuver. You will see that it will become much easier and by doing so you will have a greater sense of control over the vehicle: we will be the ones driving it, and not vice versa. On the contrary, excessive speed will most likely lead us to take the wrong trajectory, to panic, and therefore to complicate the execution technique. Therefore, especially at the beginning, the watchword is CALM. Sharp turns are executed like this: the hands start from the classic 9 and 15 position. As seen previously, it will be the hand opposite to the turn that will initially control the movement. If I have to turn left, it will be the right hand that starts to turn the steering wheel. But this time the left hand will not just follow the movement, but will momentarily detach itself from the steering wheel to step over the right hand, get back on the steering wheel and then continue to rotate it, which will serve to close the turn, with the right hand that in the meantime will have returned more or less to its starting position, ready if necessary to turn the steering wheel further to be able to complete tighter turns. When the turn is almost complete, we will start to straighten the wheels, always with a fluid movement, also turning it with the same technique that we used to make the turn. With a little practice driving the vehicle, it will not be difficult to master the correct technique for turning the steering wheel. #thesteeringwheel #drivingtest #drivingtoday
