How to Turn the Steering Wheel

A video on how to turn the steering wheel. The good, the bad, and the dangerous methods. I explain the methods hand over hand, "milking the cow", and "washing the dishes" (these are the names I gave them by the way, nothing official). This is a topic where there is a lot of debate, and these are my personal opinions. So remember to always use whatever method is required where you are driving.

For any info:

Note: How you turn the wheel is usually a preference rather than a law or rule. However, some places might require you to turn it a certain way at the exam. So make sure that you do what's required wherever you do your exam. While I try to make my videos as universal as possible, rules and laws may vary according to the place where you’re driving and might be different from the ones in this video. Always drive according to the laws and rules that apply to the place where you are driving. Requirements at the driving exam may also be different than the ones shown here. Always respect the requirements that apply to the place where you are passing your driving exam. This video is not meant to replace your official driving courses.

I actually failed my driver's test for turning using the last method (Nevada). Make sure to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times! Good luck, you're gonna do great.

Finally, someone who knows how to use the steering wheel correctly. Now the other issue i see, is how do you get the people who dont know how to use a steering wheel to watch this

First time I turned a car I spinned the steering wheel so fast my mom was abt to scream

I just want to thank you so much for these videos. My brother and i are very anxious people, and he is just now getting into driving. He is so so soooo nervous when turning, and you have so many GOOD videos that ACTUALLY teach method. They even helped me learn something and I've been driving for 7 years now. I appreciate you.

My drivers ed instructor told me that, during the road test, if you let the wheel slip after making a turn, you will lose points. You are supposed to do hand-over-hand both when turning the wheel to make a turn and when straightening the wheel after the turn is complete.

Just wanted to say I seriously appreciate your videos. They're so clear and straight to the point and the POV video is extra useful. I found a lot of mistakes in my driving by watching your videos. Hopefully when I get behind the wheel again I'll be better and eventually get myself a license!

Yesterday I learnt this technique in yet another video of Conduit Facile, I tried to apply it while I was on my driving lessons. Today I've watched this video and it has more information why I should hold the steering wheel the right way.
1. The air bag
2. Avoid breaking my hands in case of a violent turn of the S wheel.
3. I've also learnt when to use the steering wheel handling styles like 'dishwasher' ... Only when I'm reversing or parking.
Inch by inch is when I'm doing little manoeuvres ....

Love Conduite Facile.

Thank you man. My dad has been showing me stuff about driving and once I take the test I'm hoping I pass! Wish me luck y'all. I wish anyone else luck who is gonna take the test as well :)

Im taking my drivering test soon and i love how helpful your videos are. You've earned my subscription

[RacingPepe]

Amazing video. My previous boss drove me to the train station a couple times and I saw him put his hand inside the wheel. I was going to try that myself because it looked really comfortable but I'm glad you explained it clearly.. The example with your friend opened my eyes as well. Thank you.

[whip_pan]

The animations really help us understand the explanation! YouTubers could really learn from your videos. Thank you!!!

[Ereinion]

As a new driver, some of your videos helped with things I found difficult and correct some bad behaviour. Thank you for the helpful videos!

[shartina]

Your videos on turning alone helped me passed my road test in Bronx, NY!!! The instructor and graphics are amazing! I will still continue to subscribe and like because I'm driving in NYC, I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

[daimosori]

I was used to the hand over hand method then driving instructor exclusively want me to use milking the cow method - I ran over a street sign trying to do so. It is good that you are teaching different methods for different situations instead of using just one technique. Thanks.

[joseanrodriguez]

I got better because of this men he needs a big recognition so extremely helpful 👏

[MzNeka]

Thanks for the vid as it was extremely helpful! Making left/right turns were one of my biggest issues. I used this method during my lesson and my instructor was impressed! Once again thanks for the tips!!!
