Bad Habits to Avoid While Steering a Car
"The first and foremost thing a good driver needs to know is to steer a car properly."
The first and foremost thing a good driver needs to know is to steer a car properly. It’s perhaps the most fundamental aspect of driving.
There are also some bad habits a driver learns while steering a car that should be stopped right now.
The major bad habits to be avoided while steering the car:
Proper Posture and Positioning
We see most of the drivers sitting too close to the steering wheel but this is a very bad habit.
You need to be close enough to reach the pedals and be able to push them with their whole foot, but not so close that you risk injuring your head, neck, or chest in a collision.
Hand Position
Your hand plays a very significant role while steering a car. Don’t drive with one hand.
Also, don’t use the heel of your palm to turn the wheel as this will significantly reduce the control you have over the steering wheel.
Likewise, don’t hook your hand through the wheel, or hold it with the back of your hand facing forward and with your fingers pointing back at you because this can lead to damage to your arms in case of accidents.
Wheel Slide
A lot of people allow the wheel to slide through their hands and straighten itself when they start driving, but this means you aren’t in full control of the car.
It will get you marked down on your test and may lead to the car overcorrecting itself following a turn.
All you need to do is keep your hands in the correct position and work the wheel through them to return it to the correct position.
Being Lazy:
We see most of the drivers steering a wheel lazily resting their arm comfortably in the gearstick.
As you build experience in driving it can be easy to take your steering skills for granted.
Your hand positioning may change or you may start driving with an elbow leaning on an open window.
There are all sorts of ways that you can get lazy in your steering, so you should focus on not allowing that to happen if you want to stay as safe as possible when on the road.
