And at 30 mph You will never need to steer so much that You would have to use hand over hand.does anyone take a 90 degrees corner at 30+mph?! Yeah,that's what i tought. you will never get to use hand over hand at a speed high enough for the airbag to deploy. feeding the wheel is a very slow tehnique and could be fatal.hand over hand is the best method to turn.period
In terms of “allowing the steering wheel to come back to you” bear in mind, in conditions where it’s icy or slippery the car is most likely going to skid out. In order to prevent this, similarly as we feed the wheel while we turn the car, we also feed the wheel the opposite way to allow the steering wheel to return to it’s correct position.
This shuffle method does not prevent the driver from reaching across to the other side of the steering wheel and putting the arm in between the airbag and face. Professional rally and nascar drivers use hand over hand because it allows for better steering input. Nobody can turn the wheel quickly with this odd method.
+b bb yes i totally agree i think the shuffle steering is dangerous, as the airbag thing remains the same but you cant steer fast in an emergency to bring you back to safety and your steering is always uneven like that.
I have been doing this for 45 years and it is the best way to drive quickly in the twisty bits, you feel in control of the vehicle rather than just reacting to it
Agree. It's not a smart way to turn steering wheel. Move hand half circle before turning will definitely delay vehicle's reaction. In an emergency this habit may kill someone because of the redundant move.
0:50 if the airbag had deployed there during a crash, you would know the exact time of the crash because your watch would be imprinted on your forehead.
Yes you are dead on with your observation, can't agree with you more. I would say we conform to whatever standards that is required in your jurisdiction to pass the driving exam. We humans have our unique way to develop our skillset. Just as everyone holds our pen, cutlery, and heck we all walk differently too. At the end of the day, if we can all go from point A to B and back safely to yourself and everyone around you that is all that matters.
Believe nobody but the rumour mill. It is the only thing that is true in racing. Talk to the pros. Ask them questions. Their answers have been keeping them alive for as long as they have been racing. Any idiot can post a video on TH-cam.
This steering technique is highly antiquated and suitable only for steering vehicles without power steering whose steering is very heavy indeed. Hand over hand steering is a lot safer, as it gives you better control over the steering, corrections can be made effectively, lock can be added progressively (needed when misjudging a corner). Also steering hand over hand is a lot faster, which is needed if you want to prevent spinning out when losing control. On the airbag "worry": Your hands will be blown to the sides rather harmlessly, also as someone already mentioned by moving your hand over to pull, you obstruct the Airbag likewise. Btw. driving like this will make you fail on the practical element of the german driving test for improper control of the vehicle.
Depends where you are in Europe. Different countries use different techniques but I can say from experience...it is so easy to over correct with hand over hand. The UK doesn't really enforce anything but Pull Push is recommended.
I taught advanced driving techniques and proved sooooo many idiots like you wrong. It’s was always fun to see people like you sucking hind tit. Pppfftt.
HOWEVER! The Maryland Vehicle Association Commercial Drivers License handbook, along with the normal driver's license handbook clearly states that the recommended (and by recommended, they mean you better fucking do it, or else you fail both drivers test) hand over hand steering is best to maintain control.
+st911000 Your not correct examination of a drivers license test requires knowledge of the State vehicle traffic laws, able to control a motor vehicle and able to make independent decisions
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS. I don't know how people think this is safer and gives you more control of the car. It is very uncomfortable and restricts how far you can turn the wheel and how fast. He also mentions that hand over hand method is dangerous because you have to cross your arm over the airbag but he did it with his shuffle method as well. The best way to avoid injury is to not get in an accident at all... so please, use a method that gives you good control of the car.
Well, yes and no. Everyone is different, and just because you personally find it uncomfortable and believe it gives you better control, it does not mean everyone does. For what it's worth, to me the hand-over-hand technique looks sloppy and unprofessional, and I have never felt any earthly need to cross hands no matter what the situation. But that's just me. And I cannot for the life of me work out how you arrived at the conclusion that it restricts how far and how fast you can turn the wheel, because it simply does not. That idea exists in your head, and nowhere else. Both methods have theoretical advantages and disadvantages, but for all practical intents and purposes that is exactly what they are - theories! Driving is full of folklore, and there is probably more nonsense talked about steering than anything else. Just use whichever suits you, because as long as you steer safely, what does it matter?
Try going around a 180 degree hill hairpin turn doing the push pull technic... Hand over hand is the way to do it for very tight turns (often at an angle).
frankly I was expecting way more, things like: a) proper seating position in order to facilitate reach, vision and safety b) basic wheel operation - never pull, always push (if you pull and you loose traction there is a great risk that you will oversteer and when the grip is back it is already too late - yes it is easier tu pull, but ...) sort of all what you really need to drive a car properly ... just these two points made my driving much comfortable in terms of certainty in driving. E.g. corner I was able to do 80km/h I can now do in 120km/h.... and i am not a pro, not even an amateur ... just a guy who enjoys driving
They didn't keep their hands at a 9-3 position and they did cross the airbag. Move both hands up and down, pulling or pushing with ever one is going in the right direction is better.
This is indedeed the best way and relaxed way you can steer i also use this steer technique Greetz from a beginner driver all the other methods are not so good for full steering control exept tis one steering to right with your left hand or steering to left with your right hand your arm get blocked if you do this and you can lose your control because of that reason for full control you need to use the hand that goes to your direction if you go left you have to steer with your left hand if you go right you have to steer with your right hand
For those who question this method, this training is taught not only by law enforcement officers like myself but also professional race car drivers. So you people who say this is not correct way of steering just tells me you have zero training and do NOT know what your talking about. I have seen too many drivers affected by hand over hand steering, air bag deployment in car collisions result in injuries and over steering and less control of your steering. Like anything else practice makes perfect. check out Tanner Foust Pro race car driver and stunt car driver video as well explains push feed steering the same way.
Lol at racing schools the only people they cant break the habit of shuffle steering are cops. You guys are brainwashed about even the smallest things. It also doesnt work well because in an emergency situation its easy to lose track of what position is center.
Correct method when steer is either left or right. Always hand on 9/3 oclock. Push steering wheel to 12oclock follow by other hand... if u make a viv.. get it right
It's is better to develop the 'Push Push' stearing technique as it would come in handy when driving larger vehicles with bigger stearing wheels e.g Trailers...you cant drive these vehicles crossing your arms, it is physically imposible to do.
Good start, but when you start the demo with a rolling vehicle you get a couple of things wrong. Firstly, you never, ever, "allow the steering wheel to come back to you". In fact, you never let go of the wheel (even let it slide), that's the golden rule in steering, the reason is obvious. What you must do is reverse the operation of the hands. Secondly, you should avoid push steering, especially to initiate a turn. You have less force (torque), and so less precision and control doing so, and you risk developing an habit of push-steering when it's not necessary. Keep only that when you need to turn more than what you get with the initial pull-steering. Other than that, it's quite well done.
+Kai Campbell It's is better to develop the 'Push Push' stearing technique as it would come in handy when driving larger vehicles with bigger stearing wheels e.g Trailers...you cant drive these vehicles crossing your arms, it is physically imposible to do.
You shouldn't be taking any hands off the wheel and letting it return on its own is asking for a broken thumb when it kicks and you try to correct it (common mustang handling fault). Also Vin Diesel taught me to keep one hand on the wheel and a window open playing Spanish music whilst steering.
While going straight or on slight turns I tend to only use one hand. However, when steering, I tend to use hand-over-hand because it is much easier (in my opinion) for sharp turns. Also, no matter what happens when you get into a crash, you're probably gonna get broken bones anyway, having a broken arm is less major than many other broken bones you could have.
You should never let the steering wheel slide in your hands, in this way you can only guess where the tyres are pointed at if you have to catch the wheel mid way for some reason
1:18 the arms still cross and the air bag would injure the arm You just need way more time and in an emergency (when you‘re not prepared) this could have fatal consequences if you steer with the 9/3 o‘clock technique
just steer with one hand if you have power steering it is much easier and faster...i steer with my left hand because it is left hand drive here in philippines.just try it ...
I drive a manual transmission in the US which means there are times I must remove my right hand from the steering wheel; some times during a turn. How does that change your advice?
1, this doesn't work in mid to long distance driving. 2. This only applies to shallow and slow cornering. 3, this doesn't work for manuals. 4. By the time the airbags come out, crossing ur arms is the LEAST of ur troubles
I'm sorry but this is wrong. The drag and pull technique is horribly inefficient in the case of an emergency, I'm definitely just gunna take my time and drag and pull the wheel instead of overhand. I've had plenty of times where I've needed to overhand to avoid an accident. Also, what if the steering wheel doesn't have an airbag? Just gunna sacrifice speed for irrelevant techniques.
1:27, looks to me as your arm is crossing the wheel. :/ I'm just saying, but racing drivers don't use the "shuffle" method because it means they have more control over their vehicle. By shuffling, the turning circle is dramatically increased, whereas by using one turn and not removing your hands from the wheel, you have more control over the car and have a smaller turning circle. Also, if a car suddenly pulls out of a blind corner, and your mid shuffle, your hands aren't on the wheel, so you can't make a turn out of the way. I just thought I would point these obvious flaws in shuffling out. If the main reason you shuffle is because you cover the wheel, even though your arm is clearly covering the wheel, then this just doesn't work.
shuffle method isnt the way in an emergency situation. you cant steer your car instantly like in hand over hand method. hand over hand the way to go. thats what i was taught by lay instructor.
0:15 Number fucking 1. Airbags are being activated at speed of 22 km/h or higher. We need to change arms (cross arms) only when we do 180+ degree rotation of the wheel. We do it at low speeds for example somewhere at parking lot. When we turn at parking lot the speed is usually 15 km/h or less. So there's no fucking way of airbag deploying when we cross arms unless you want to do some drift or unless you decided to make a 90-degree turn on a highway just into guardrail
Heh. If you think the steering wheel is just going to magically come back to you as planned every single time, you're bound for a crash. Also, this isn't 'advanced' anything - this is a part of basic driving training. Hell, I clicked on this thinking I might be able to improve my ability to slide a car around a corner in tricky/OOC conditions. But... Thanks anyway. P.S. Have you not heard of/seen the technique of controlling the wheel as it comes back? You basically alternate grips, from right hand to left, etc, as the steering wheel tries to regain a straight line. Am I the only one who does that? Fuck it - it works like a charm for me.
To those saying this method is dangerous, inefficient and "racing drivers don't use it", you're wrong. Many rally drivers and hill climb drivers use this method. The reason F1 and NASCAR drivers don't need to use this is because of the steering ratios and shape of the wheel (in F1). I've got to admit, in car parks I hand over hand it but on the road I use pull push. Of course, you can spend the rest of your life using hand over hand, no issue to me...but if you really need loads of lock to avoid a situation...well you need to improve as a driver. The only situation this is inefficient is when the driver hasn't perfected it and it is clumsy.
Hi there Andrew you're video helped me with my steering and I just want thank you so much. I'm British I'm taking driving lesson I was really stuck on the steering which I had big huge problems with my stirring. And I just want to say again thank you so much it helped me a lot!
This technic is ridiculous, you might avoid the airbag touching your arm by not crossing them, but for sure you will have the airbag in your face! This will never let you avoid any accidents or being able to do emergency maneuvers!
NEVER NEVER let go of the wheel, to do this is to give up control of the vehicle, also he is talking about not crossing hands over the airbag, very true do not do this but then demonstrates a turn by putting one arm directly over the airbag ?? strange contradictory actions.
I dunno why hand over hand get's so much bad rep these days. I drive an old Civic and while I use push pull, It's necessary for me to sometimes switch over to hand over hand. Push pull is not fast enough for 90 degree turns, especially on my car
+Andrew Wunderlich Yes I know there are some people who recommend push pull and when I came out of driving school I was using that method to steer most of the time. It was just too tiring after a year so I switch to a hybrid of push pull and hand over steering and that's been working out for me. Rally drivers like Sebastien Loeb, Colin Mcrae along with other professional drivers have been using hand over steering so it's not something that's too bad to use.
Good video. Thank you. I cannot believe the amount of people commenting to trash talk. Most of them must drive a Toyota Yaris bust behind their computers they are all Michael Schumacher.
it’s a good technique but it’s definitely not advanced, rally drivers need the most advanced technique. In drifting the car reacts a bit slower and you can let the wheel spin by itself and stop it exactly where you want but in rallying you need more control. Road racing most of the time uses lower turn ratios, especially for very cars
If the airbags are about to open, you should already be turning very fast the steering wheel (to avoid the accident!!!), and this video shows a sluggish, therefore inefficient, way to turn the steering wheel in an emergency situation.
So allowing the steering wheel to slide freely is safe and gives you control over the car? Why do people in the states even try to teach how to drive...
I steer with my knees. Airbags not obstructed by hands. Hands safe from airbags. Airbags work as intended.
Defensive driving defended.
wtf
Omg, i laughed more than i should have :D :D :D
good for lightin them bowls
Vampyreq Lol
Instructions unclear, got dick stuck in airbag.
With all due respect, but the best steering technique is the one that wouldn't let the airbags deploy in the first place.

Still a valid point. Because pros in purpose built race cars at top speed do it doesn't mean it applies to commuter shitboxes crawling in the city.

By looking at steering wheel you can see that he was driving a Golf GTI during the first part of the demonstration.

He's probably so terrified of the airbag because you are way more likely to get into a collision attempting to "steer" in the manner he described

It's called feeding the wheel..
Here in hungary if you do this, you will fail your driving test
If you feed the wheel you can’t feed it more wheel if you are going into a turn too fast. It’s okay to take them off the wheel to turn
Remember, to turn right ,you have to turn the steering wheel to right and to turn left turn it towards left .
That's why you change the wheel and airbag out and get a better one.
You shouldn't be taking any hands off the wheel and letting it return on its own is asking for a broken thumb when it kicks and you try to correct it (common mustang handling fault). Also Vin Diesel taught me to keep one hand on the wheel and a window open playing Spanish music whilst steering.

Also, if a car suddenly pulls out of a blind corner, and your mid shuffle, your hands aren't on the wheel, so you can't make a turn out of the way. I just thought I would point these obvious flaws in shuffling out. If the main reason you shuffle is because you cover the wheel, even though your arm is clearly covering the wheel, then this just doesn't work.
hand over hand produces over steer sooooo what if i do the same input but with feeding the wheel do my tires magically get more grip noooooooo
shuffle method isnt the way in an emergency situation. you cant steer your car instantly like in hand over hand method. hand over hand the way to go. thats what i was taught by lay instructor.
I really wanna tell you an important thing, do u have social media accounts?
0:15 Number fucking 1. Airbags are being activated at speed of 22 km/h or higher. We need to change arms (cross arms) only when we do 180+ degree rotation of the wheel. We do it at low speeds for example somewhere at parking lot. When we turn at parking lot the speed is usually 15 km/h or less. So there's no fucking way of airbag deploying when we cross arms unless you want to do some drift or unless you decided to make a 90-degree turn on a highway just into guardrail
What is a steering wool?
Heh. If you think the steering wheel is just going to magically come back to you as planned every single time, you're bound for a crash. Also, this isn't 'advanced' anything - this is a part of basic driving training. Hell, I clicked on this thinking I might be able to improve my ability to slide a car around a corner in tricky/OOC conditions. But... Thanks anyway.
P.S. Have you not heard of/seen the technique of controlling the wheel as it comes back? You basically alternate grips, from right hand to left, etc, as the steering wheel tries to regain a straight line. Am I the only one who does that? Fuck it - it works like a charm for me.
sir what about turning in steep corners ..........where u have to turn very fast
All correct apart from letting the wheel slide through your hands
To those saying this method is dangerous, inefficient and "racing drivers don't use it", you're wrong. Many rally drivers and hill climb drivers use this method. The reason F1 and NASCAR drivers don't need to use this is because of the steering ratios and shape of the wheel (in F1). I've got to admit, in car parks I hand over hand it but on the road I use pull push. Of course, you can spend the rest of your life using hand over hand, no issue to me...but if you really need loads of lock to avoid a situation...well you need to improve as a driver. The only situation this is inefficient is when the driver hasn't perfected it and it is clumsy.
How do you know how far to turn the wheel ?
Gorgeous GTI’s
Learnt something new. Thank u so much
Hi there Andrew you're video helped me with my steering and I just want thank you so much. I'm British I'm taking driving lesson I was really stuck on the steering which I had big huge problems with my stirring. And I just want to say again thank you so much it helped me a lot!
Thank you, this really helps. Definitely going to use this technique when I'm driving. Love the video! God bless you!
That was a good video.. simple and to the point
Nice watch and excellent video!
If this is advanced I don't know what steering with one hand is..
If you've got two hands, then probably just plain stupid!
what if i want to turn 2 rotations
This technic is ridiculous, you might avoid the airbag touching your arm by not crossing them, but for sure you will have the airbag in your face! This will never let you avoid any accidents or being able to do emergency maneuvers!
Never let go of the steering wheel maintain 9-3 hand position just watch f1 or indy racing, they will show you how it is done
+Dave Antony True never let your hands go free but you do allow steerring to spin back
NEVER NEVER let go of the wheel, to do this is to give up control of the vehicle, also he is talking about not crossing hands over the airbag, very true do not do this but then demonstrates a turn by putting one arm directly over the airbag ?? strange contradictory actions.
+Andrew Wunderlich You fail the driving test if you do that
+Dave Antony f1 drivers often let go steering wheel to show a middle finger to other driver for example.
Push feed is the best
well i use 1 hand and another hand is for drink.
No
This should be top comment
I'd much rather oversteer than understeer
Seriously? Are you making this up as you go along?
This would make it so much harder to perform any maneuver at all, I guarantee that he hasn't ever tried driving on the track like that
I dunno why hand over hand get's so much bad rep these days. I drive an old Civic and while I use push pull, It's necessary for me to sometimes switch over to hand over hand. Push pull is not fast enough for 90 degree turns, especially on my car
+Caleb Kan not true check out a video given by Highway patrol on push feed steering or video by Tanner Foust TOP GEAR
+Andrew Wunderlich Yes I know there are some people who recommend push pull and when I came out of driving school I was using that method to steer most of the time. It was just too tiring after a year so I switch to a hybrid of push pull and hand over steering and that's been working out for me. Rally drivers like Sebastien Loeb, Colin Mcrae along with other professional drivers have been using hand over steering so it's not something that's too bad to use.
they use a modified version of push pull for tight turns like on a rally course. Any corrections for a skid are hand over hand.
Steering wool?
isn't it bad to allow steering wheel to come back?
Good video. Thank you. I cannot believe the amount of people commenting to trash talk. Most of them must drive a Toyota Yaris bust behind their computers they are all Michael Schumacher.
What happens when changing gears though...
I did this thing sub consciously. I saw this someone making a video
Millions thanks.
Wait wait wait. Who puts a volks wagon steering wheel in a mustang?
This is NOT System of Car Control. Definitely don’t like letting the steering wheel slide (relatively out of control)
it’s a good technique but it’s definitely not advanced, rally drivers need the most advanced technique. In drifting the car reacts a bit slower and you can let the wheel spin by itself and stop it exactly where you want but in rallying you need more control. Road racing most of the time uses lower turn ratios, especially for very cars
If the airbags are about to open, you should already be turning very fast the steering wheel (to avoid the accident!!!), and this video shows a sluggish, therefore inefficient, way to turn the steering wheel in an emergency situation.
So allowing the steering wheel to slide freely is safe and gives you control over the car? Why do people in the states even try to teach how to drive...
