How to turn the steering wheel correctly for beginners learning to drive

How to steer a car correctly. Learning how to control the steering wheel when you first start learning to drive is very important and being able to steer the car correctly will help you to control the car around corners and will give you confidence in your driving skills.
We will be using the 10 to 2 method of steering the steering wheel, some people call it the pull and push method.
I will show you a demonstration at the start of how to steer the steering wheel correctly using the 10 to 2 method. Then I will be driving around with the camera pointing at the steering wheel. I will cover turn left and right and also emerging left and right. #steering

After watching so many videos on how to steer correctly, I finally got it here.🙏

New Zealand road code requires us to drive with this technique. I may not like it but it's how it is. You demonstrated excellent driving ability, it's the matter of getting use to it before my test Thank you so much for showing me this!

The push pull method feels so natural and so easy.

So happy was I'll last week so missed my first lesson after 9months of not having any been watching your videos and today I managed to go straight back to doing left emerges, left turns etc and my instructor said my steering was perfect which I was so happy with so I just wanted to say thank you :)

[jgsky]

I have always been doing this way and I like it.

I have watched a few of you videos now. I have got to say you are really good at explaining things clearly. I wish you where my instructor. I feel my instructor is impatient and gets frustrated if I do something wrong. I think I am going to change my instructor. I have said to him a couple of times "you have got to remember I am learning". Still his attitude is bad.

Hey you are a god
Steering is one of those things that as I've gone further in to my lessons I've lost the ability to do correctly, my instructor explains, by saying don't cross your arms and it's not a white knuckle ride, but still couldn't work out what and how I was meant to be doing it ( temporarily dippy moment)
This video explained and showed me everything I needed to know, it was a moment.
Thankyou James, these videos are getting me through this and will get me through my test!
You're simple the best!

Lesson today, so I'll put it in to practice.

I struggled so much with this on my first lesson I was fine doing it when the instructor was saying left to the bottom right to the top but when he didn’t I almost froze but this is the best video I seen thank you so much

[cocodakilla]

could you do a video explaining how MUCH you should turn depending on the bends severity.

[kemalobaker]

thank you much your video really helped me out to drive in safely o my daily life

[edogjani]

Really appreciate it,
I haven’t done yet the booking for the practice and I’m feeling nervous already.

[QasimKhan-scst]

[vanessahenderson]

Hi Travis, I've just found your channel and your uploads are really helpful. Thank you for your help and advice. It's really appreciated.

[satigaur]

I finally know how to turn the wheel :D

[Dronethat]

This technique is just to satisfy the examiner. It's not practical in the real world.

[Blaze-eo]

Will try this on my next lesson as currently for example my left hand follows the right when i turn the wheel

[AlzbetaEhsan]

hello, I want to make a guide for the first time. I want to learn something. What do I need? Can you give me some advice on how to start, please?

[michellefredericks]

Very helpful video on lesson 14 and can't get the steering driving me mad cant seem to do it this way

Some people have alleged this is a dangerous steering technique, nonsense. The government would not permit anything intrinsically dangerous on driving tests. Many years ago faults on the driving test included CAT and CAB for steering. This was crossing hands at top and bottom respectively. No longer the case steering faults are now outcome based. The system is tricky to master extremely effective for general road use but totally not cool. Emergency manoeuvres have been mention as a weak point not sure if that is true, not had one in past twenty years, but the best system in an emergency is "the emergency stop". Stopping in a straight line is preferred prior to considering swerving. I remember seeing a video of an uninjured guy whose car was on its roof who said "I swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel". My advice is that if you can master it use this very safe system. Travis has put out a lot of good information on driving why would he wrong on steering? If there is a superior system nobody has described what it is.
