The correct way to hold the steering wheel and how to turn the steering wheel

1. The correct way to hold it

First of all, we think of the steering wheel as a clock. Hold the steering wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock with both hands, and use the thumb of the hand to Hold the steering wheel tightly and clasp your thumbs slightly without using too much force. If your thumbs are clasped like this, they will easily be broken if they collide, which is wrong. Because the steering wheel will not change significantly in the event of a collision, the main reason is that inertia causes the body to lean forward.

2. Direction

When holding the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions with both hands, the maximum steering is about 160°. This angle can basically meet the needs of daily driving. If you encounter a big curve and have to twist it to 180°, it is not impossible, but crossing your hands like this will make your arms uncomfortable and very dangerous, so you need to learn how to change hands.

When the arm is about to reach its limit, let go of the steering wheel with the lower hand and return to the upper hand to hold it close to the previous position. If the turn does not need to be very large, you can hold it directly above the current steering wheel. When exiting the corner, just do the opposite of what you did before.

Wrong grip

Hold the steering wheel with your backhand: If you hold the steering wheel with your backhand at the beginning, then when you turn the wheel back, due to physiological reasons, The direction cannot be returned. If you encounter special circumstances at this time, accidents may easily occur.

When turning the wheel, take your hands off the steering wheel: Today's cars are equipped with a power steering function. Many car owners let the steering wheel automatically return to the straight position when turning the wheel. In this way, if you encounter a situation during the reincarnation. I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle.
