It's important to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times. If you don't, your car will blow up. Thus, why it's advised not to use the hand-over-hand method.
Only exception is changing gear
Car will blow up? For real?
DivinLegend yeah engine overheats
@@zukhrufhussain2271 are you joking? No, the car detects only one hand, the airbag deploys and the car self destructs due to safety reasons.
saket naik 😂😂😂😂
He steers so darn smoothly!!! Thanks for the advice☺
Idk. He looks awkward as.
@@marvinmartinsYT when straightening up i just let the wheel slide bettween my hand and add extra turning if i need to
Ethan keenan I do the same thing 😭
@@Ethankeenan02 I legit only use one hand when driving, but they didn’t allow it in the driving test. Passed the test with ease nonetheless i just needed to learn how to use 2 hands for driving this guy’s a really good teacher.
Teaching my daughter to drive at the moment. I believe you explain steering technique better than anyone I've seen on You tube.
Thank you
Peter
Push pull coming along beautifully , after 40 years of driving without utilising this simple yet very effective steering technique.
Never too old to watch/listen & relearn good advice.
Thank you Ashley.
👍
I came here to say" Thank you to Ashley"
I passed yesterday with 2 minors. These videos were so helpful
Great job! Congratulations 👏🏼
I failed because of bad steering. Thank you so much for this video! It's very helpful!!
I passed my driving exam on second try and had no problems. The first try, I had a very nerve wracking instructor. She was making me anxious, she raised her voice at me because I didn't turn my blinker on in time. She told me to turn right, right exactly on the turn and never gave me a warning beforehand. I asked her 'So... How's your day going?' She said ' It's fine, but we're not here to talk okay, we're here to drive." in a rude tone of voice. I was so relieved to pull back into the driving facility and get out of the car after that.
Same as me , My coach mad at me when teaching me! He out of his car and scold me loudly when I do wrong. Why I’m just a beginner. He totally insane.
Qi ming Chu Get taught by another instructor then
Thank you for giving me a decision:). But what if i change my instructor more badly than before:(? They are group of instructor of the company.
Destany yea because it’s illegal to not use a turn signal when turning and changing lanes
i think female examiners are more likely to give out fails. I experienced the same sort of thing.
Absolutely spot on. Every driving instructor should watch your video, and teach their students how to steer accordingly. Thanks very much for your great work.
I just started driving and can’t stop sweating when I think about it
HONESTLY ME TOO. 😭😓
@@ASMRStorytimeWhispers you’ll get over it try listening to music on low while riding around it helps you relax
Hahaha me to, i feel like throwing up ☹️😂
same
Did you figure out what to use to stop the sweatiness.
Palm of hand to turn wheel, letting spin back is a sure way to impress any examiner.
😂
Even better, show how good your power steering is by keeping the car straight with just one of your little fingers.
Ralphie Raccoon if you wanna really get em, use your pinky toe
Ohaye

Watched most of your videos literally 2 hours before my test, passed first time with 3 minors. I used your steering technique and it was so easy to control the vehicle! Thanks for posting such helpful videos!
yeah the results are so precise! congrats on passing!
I find it extremely interesting how in the UK this is the preferred method of steering while in most other countries (from my experience) hand over hand is sometimes even a required way to steer to pass the exam. There are benefits to both but i do believe hand over hand gives you a much better feel of where your wheels are.
I do believe you’re an amateur driver
In Sweden it is only the hand over method
Been driving both personally and professionally since 1984, but subscribed and working my way through your vids. Stuff like navigating a spiral roundabout have been invaluable! Thanks and keep up the good work.
That's great that the video's have helped! Thanks for watching, Ashley.
This is weird. In my country it is taught that feeding the wheel is the incorrect way to do it. Hand over hand just feels more natural and smoother.
This is fantastic thanks Ashley. I watched it as I am sitting in the car with my son whilst he practises for his test and I find it hard to explain the things he is struggling with. No one explained it to me when I was learning and I failed my first test on steering. This is so clear I will watch all your stuff so I can help him and improve my own driving.
You remind me of my Dad who passed sadly. He LOVED driving and was excellent at it, and he used push pull, it was effortless. Im now learning and wish he was here to teach me, but your videos help
I failed my first test because my instructor said "Turn here" at an intersection and i said "Turn where?!" He got angry and said "Do whatever you want.." which means you failed so i said "Ok.." and got a 4 for 4 at Wendy's.
He then called me incompetent knuckle head so i turned my head to the right and looked him in the eye then i winked as i chewed on a chicken nugget.
2 Cents r/iamverybadass
r/thathappened
Yep that totally happened
@@Goos836 same
R/ yeah okay weird flex
this is so much more in depth of an explanation then other youtubers videos. You rock dude!!
The best video I've found that actually shows you consistently how to steer in real world situations.
It's funny how many veteran drivers are adamant the 12 o'clock rule and crossing arms are instant fails.
This method is harder than it looks.
@Aierek but It allows for the Precision at every 90o turn!
@Aierek I agree
@@hoodnationproductions it actually works for me lol. I practiced
Blessed AndFavored hated it since I first tried doing it
Blessed AndFavored I find palming or crossing easier, when I feed the wheel i can’t sense the turn but with other steering methods I can feel where the wheels are
I'm so glad to find these videos. It is so nice to find someone who can actually explain what to do/how to do these things in complete proper sentences beyond just "Don't do that," and "Do it the right way"
Five years ago since i passed.. I was never taught this technique, that looks like its going to make parallel parking easier for a start!!
It doesn't make much difference to me - tried it both way - with 15 years experience and I always find crossing hands a lot more comfortable :)
Hi Ashley A great way to help students steering is to practice at home with a pan lid or a round tray. I did this and was a great help . Thanks for your Vids .
today was my 2nd day of driving lesson... Thats how my Instructor ask me to do as well ..😊😊😊 it really helps me a lot..
I'm from Norway and we're allowed to drive with our parents from 16 y/o. But now I'm an exchange student in Germany and I just had my first driving lesson. First thing that happened was that my instructor slammed the brakes and asked what the hell i was doing because I crossed my arms. I needed to use the push pull method which I really hated, but after watching this I feel like this method isn't all that bad, just have to get used to it. Thanks
Ashley, very well presented instruction.
The first vehicle I drove was a little grey Fergie tractor, when I was 10 back in '72. We lived on a farm and by the time I was 13 I was driving and working tractors regularly, Ford 4000 and 6600. I feel sorry and anxious for learner drivers having to learn all about, steering control, brake control, clutch control, AND other road users, and mirrors, and indicators. Then at 16 I got a 50cc MZ. At 17 I had a Ford Corsair. We were taught, at that time, never cross your hands. I passed first time in Sept 1979.
I might have, but can't remember a time when I haven't steered with two hands in contact with the wheel.
I just wonder how many accidents could be avoided if the persons had tow hands on the wheel, instead of, elbow on the door and holding the wheel with two finders. Maybe accident investigators should start asking that question.
In 2017/18 I got my HGV Class 2 and Class 1 licence.
I drive with my weiner, so I don't have to worry about using my hands.
Pete Wolanski same
Years ago when buses did not have power steering drivers used to drive with a knob on the steering wheel.
How long it took you to drive with no instuctor
I use my COCK to drive so I don’t have to worry about using my hands
This is really helpful I'm struggling with this atm with my lessons I just can't get my head round it I'm going to keep watching and practising it.
I love the way you teach just so calm.👍🏻
This is fantastic Ashley ! The best lesson on steering I have seen so far. Thank you !!!
Wish my driving instructor would actually teach me, you’re such a good example of good teaching. I’ve paid over 1500 for a 30 hour course, done 26 hours and have learnt nothing from my instructor and have learnt everything from TH-cam
Same here , it's been almost a year , learnt very little from instructors who make it complicated on purpose.
I take ny driving test in October and you are super helpful
My instructors said nothing about hands in steering, only quarter or half or full turns, but it don't matter for me, I'm switched on about the use of things & I've improved massively just through yours & Advanced Drive School.
Apart from the lead hand going to top both hands are same height as you steer. The difference is only which one grips and which one slides to determine steering wheel direction of rotation. e.g. steering left the left hand grips on down motion and right hand grips on up motion with the opposite hand in each case sliding and mirroring position. Then you have to steer the other way to straighten up. I think the fact that both hands are same height on wheel (apart from the start) confuses people until they master the alternating grip/slide principle. Psychologically both hands going up and down at the same time does not add up to some people or relate to a direction of steer.
Thank you for the great explanation. I had my second lesson today and still didn’t understand what was wrong with my steering until I watched your video. Practiced on a kitchen plate today , next will practice on a real car 😅
My driving instructor forces me to use this method... that's why I have to watch it as a video, because I instinctively cross my hands when steering and I am already so happy that I mastered the clutch somewhat that I don't even have time to think about steering and just do it.
I think of it as passing the wheel between my hands
Thankyou so much your actually better than my instructor now that I’ve watched this it has made so much sense and I really appreciate your video ❤️
You are an amazing driving instructor.
best on you tube about steering.well explained thank you so much .had problem steering back after junction i wasnt quick to steer back.i found out the problem was the speed on which i turn .the solution turn very slow .so no more let spin the wheel.
Very well explained. My instructor keeps on asking push and pull but never wanna practice this on my lesson.
Thx for ur video mate,its one of my main issues for the test,so i need to watch ur video quiet few times😊
Great video, great instructions!!! Well done to Paula
Well, I’ve been driving since 1982 and I’ve learnt something there! Can’t wait to practice, the reason I’m here is because I read today that holding the wheel at 10 to 2 is not the best position, is this right? always done it, and always suffered from aching arms. Many thanks.
Thank you thank you thank you! I’m in Australia but this is still so applicable for me, got my learners at the moment, so I can apply this strategy! Thank you!
This is ABSOLUTELY an AWESOME video thanks so much for uploading and helping us. This is the correct way doing this, I was doing it wrong all along, now I know the right technique. Thank you.
Feeding the wheel is worse than the driving test, on my driving lessons I cross my hands and me instructor doesn’t care about it
Glad i got a good patient intructor the first time hes patient and gives intruction very well and carmly and if i do somthing wrong he gets me to practice it until i feel confident to do it perfect everytime eg i did hill start but rolled back so we practiced it a couple times and now i know that the steeper the hill the more throttle is needed
Thank you for the tip, this method looks very smooth and precise and I'll definitely try it, I failed my exam once and I have my next one in 6 days, hopefully this will help me pass it and eventually get my driver license :)
Thank you for teaching the basics !
This is so helpful. I just failed my drivers test by one point all because they didn't like how I turned that car and because I was closer to a semi than her liking. I hoping to get it soon.
It sounds like you don't accept the fail.
I don’t like to accept failure. I did pass my second time.
What if I say that doing "push and pull" in a German driving test is allowed, but will give you very bad looks by the examiner?
To be honest, if you do the push and pull, you can easily have problems with smooth steering.
Add a sharp curve and some wet leaves and the choppy steering can cause quite some trouble.
If you see a tight curve, just move one hand a bit further down and you got much more room for movement without even crossing hands.
If you need to really turn the wheel, you can easily cross hands, if you learn how to do it in one fluid motion.
Yeah I just got my license in Germany and they taught us specifically not to make this "shuffling" a habit, because we might not be able to do sharp turns in an emergency. The simulator even had you practice crossing your hands while steering.
@@MrCmon113 *"[Shuffling means] we might not be able to do sharp turns in an emergency."* That one is an old wives' tale, my friend. Here's Dave Storton, Chief Instructor at the San José Police Academy, doing just that: th-cam.com/video/e5IJL6rwe_8/w-d-xo.html . I don't see him having any difficulty. Do you? Best regards from England.
Quick question. I am loving your videos they are truly superb.
I notice you thank other drivers with your right hand a lot. I've been told that the left hand held up is a bit more visible if held up in the middle of the windscreen.
Sorry such a silly question.
10 yrs ago when I had my test. I was told never to cross hands when steering during a test. I've always used pull push method. Surprises me what is now permissable.
Good video. My first car was a Suzuki ignis sport and now I have a Subaru impreza gc8 and mark 6 fiesta st. I did my test in a 1.8 litre astra.
Gonna use ur technique tomorrow I take my test at 11 in the morning hopefully I pass 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼wish me luck yall 💯💪🏼
Finally i found a video to do this while driving, coz we can't do Hand over hand 😕 thank you mate
This method is natural for me. No one told me to steer this way but my hands adopted to this method.
Nicely demonstrated. Thanks brother.
I just started learning and I really suck at managing the steering wheel so thanks for the vid
Just realized your learner car is an automatic...going through your videos I thought it was odd that no one had stalled or done any naff gear changes haha. I've not done push and pull steering since my test 3 years ago if I'm honest, never felt natural to me, I go hand over hand in tight turns. You seem like a crackin instructor, I've seen people comment saying you're too strict but they're wrong, you have to be firm otherwise whatever you say wont stick, you remind me of my instructor (who was also scouse and had loads of sayings relating to driving, some still stick with me to this day haha)
You are teaching perfectly how to steer a right hand drive car!! 🙌🏻
It works on left hand drive too...
What do wheels turn differently on left hand drives
Thank you this video is very informative how to use the steering wheel because I live in United States and I see too many people vibe that way with a steering wheel not saying that are not bad drivers but I like how you teach even with patients thank you and I hope to see more videos I'll be teaching people how to stir it's the steering wheels basically driving that was what I meant to say
my grandpa does it it seems so relaxing i can hear his hand glide across the wheel
Nice video. I actually like using the method when you were saying "reach/down/and up" for regular turns where I do not need to rotate the steering wheel more than 270 degrees (see 4:56 - 5:00 for reference). I feel like I complete the turn with less movement that way. However, I do not "reach" back if the steering wheel adjusts itself with throttle out of the turn so I guess I have some type of hybrid method going on. :). I find hand-over-hand steering to be much better for sharper turns and parking.
Hello mate
What vehicle have you got ?
I’m
Looking at the new Honda e electric ⚡️
What do you think?
They have no door mirrors but I feel it’s much safer in rainy conditions
Cheers buddy , thank you for your time ,
Watching from the U.S but this really helped me!!
How long does it take to drive alone after skool
Hmm, I've never thought about how I steer, I kind of just do whatever works well for me. I normally drive with 1 hand with the elbow resting on the elbow rest during straight sections, having my other hand ready to help out if needed like for upcoming corners or tight curves. My other hand is just dead weight, and actually makes my steering less stable (on straight sections). Resting my arm on the door rest during passive driving time helps stabilize my arm and keeps it from getting fatigued so I can use it more effectively come action time. Just like in the Cessna Skyhawk where I have the left hand on the yoke, right hand on the throttle during takeoffs and landings, and feet on the rudder pedals.
Great help this video will definitely be using on my next lesson
This is so great and important information. You're awesome!!!
Thanks, Ashley Very informative. spot on
Thanks Phil. Means a lot. Ashley ;)
Yes.I'm a Pdi. Just starting out. working on a pink badge. I like the way you explain things.Nice and simple and to the point. You have helped me a lot in my teaching style.
That's brilliant Phil! Please let me know when your Part 3 is. I don't want to step on your trainers toes but if there's anything I can help with let me know. Ashley. Good Luck ;)
I like your video ,you explain so cool , but you make it look so easy
Awesome teaching...thank you sir!
Very helpful, thank you very much
Glad it helps! Ashley.

Cheers Ashley, very good videos with loads of great tips!
Well presented; interesting to see that you were using a Yaris Hybrid (one of which I now have). In particular, it's auto transmission makes life easier compared with manual.
Thank you! How are you finding the Yaris?
It's fine. A size down from my previous cars (the last one being a Honda Civic Mk9 with a 1.6 diesel engine). The Yaris does it's job, and is good on local trips, but not as efficient fuel wise on longer journeys, even allowing for the difference in energy content between petrol and diesel oil. My Yaris has higher aerodynamic drag, and the tyre set has higher rolling resistance as well. On the other hand, the reduced 'dead weight', and the use of regenerative braking on the Yaris is good around town. It's a shame we pay more tax per unit energy on petrol compared with diesel oil, but that's another story.
Be a proper driver learn and use a manual transmission .
If you don’t feed the wheel after turning but let it slide between your hands is that a fail?
Not if it's still in control 👍
Where is the Like-it-3-times button? I learned in the wrong way first, but can see now that push and pull style technique feels so smooth and just right.
when you do the one hand turns and one glides, is that fine for a test?
I remember all those years ago how hard learning was but the steering I found was most definitely the easiest, I think it depends on the teacher.
When I was taught it was not considered correct to hook your thumbs behind the rim. This was to avoid breaking your thumbs in the event of a frontal impact. In later years, in taking IAM driving instruction this was still advocated by them. I notice that you often hook your thumbs under the rim although you do seem to employ the IAM recommendation when actually making a turn..
I was on a course earlier this week and had a chat with a race driving instructor who obviously teach the fixed hand steering method for what they do, and he said he has never had any thumb injuries having had a number of motorsport crashes. This is possible another driving myth that is continued by people giving false reasoning.👍🏼
@@ashley_neal Your friend obviously knows more than the Institute of Advanced Motorists. Interestingly, racing drivers usually take their hands off the wheel when crashing so would therefore avoid thumb injuries. Ordinary drivers I fear would grip the steering wheel tightly in similar situations.
So, do you think it would be more sensible for IAM to let people steer how they wish but advise to let go of the wheel if you are going to crash? Holding the wheel in any manner could cause shoulder injuries in the event of a collision but IAM are just worried about thumbs! This is something that I see all the time. Training bodies spreading advice which has never been appropriately questioned, this is then adopted by a large number of people who understandably believe everything that is told. It’s a shame to be honest. 👍🏼
@@ashley_neal You might like to watch Charles Hard's video on this subject instead of pretending that you have nothing to learn.
Found it really useful. Thanks, mate
Thanks for watching, Ashley.
Mr Neal please tell me, is it a must to use the push pull technique during the driving test, the thing is I can never do it properly and I failed my test today with a serious fault and 2 minor steering faults.
Modestyandstrength the pull push doesn’t have to be used but the best advice I can give you would be to relax your grip as much as possible. It’s the gripping and grabbing that leads to problems. Good luck. Ashley
Bro you're an absolute legend thank you very much
That’s very helpful, thanks for the tutorial
i do push pull but my question is ..once i stear i let go so the wheel goes back to center ..is that okay to do ?
Is a yaris hybrid significantly more economical than a non hybrid yaris. Would you get another yaris hybrid? Thankyou...
When your making a right or left turn do you keep your foot on the brake ?
Try and make sure you're slow enough before any corner. If you're still slowing, maybe you weren't slow enough at first. Ashley
Ashley Neal thanks you
He is right but it is very hard to get used to at the start! Keep practice.
is it just me who find this complicated?
Amazingly this used to feel so unnatural but now I kinda use a hybrid. I hadn't driven in 10 years and just somehow naturally started doing it.
I need to work on my steering
When you were teaching Paula, I was getting anxious flashbacks to my own lessons. And those were 30 years ago. lol.
This method of steering is not easy to learn, but once you get enough practice, it is the best way to steer a car quickly in tight corner.
Is this hand over hand ?
Thank you for mentioning that we better not indicate while holding the steering wheel.
The method I use is crossing my hands and when you stop Turing let go of the wheel and let it slide back till it’s straight
I have been watching vids bc I have had 10 lessons and not once has he told me how to turn a wheel. I have my test today so wish me luck 😅
where i live, they want hand over hand which i suck at, i wish they wanted the push pull method bc thats how my dad taught me
