What is the correct grip of the steering wheel

2023/11/17

  If the steering wheel is viewed as the face of a clock, the correct gesture is to hold it with the left hand between 9 and 10 o"clock, and with the right hand between 3 and 4 o"clock. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body. If you only hold the steering wheel with four fingers and lift your thumb to stick it to the steering wheel, when the wheel hits a stone or a high step, the front wheel may suddenly turn to one side, causing the steering wheel to rotate quickly, which may cause your thumb to break.

  Many beginners, due to poor car feel, try to adjust their seats as far forward as possible to see the front of the car, almost holding the steering wheel while driving; There are also some old drivers who prefer to tilt the backrest of their seats back and use a semi lying position when driving long distances, which is not a safe practice. The correct approach is to first adjust the recline angle of the seat backrest to around 110 degrees. Scientific experiments have shown that this angle is most ergonomic and the body is less prone to fatigue; Then lean your body against the backrest of the seat, fully and firmly seat it; Then place the wrist joint on the top of the steering wheel and adjust the distance between the front and rear of the seat so that the elbow joint can still remain bent.

  During driving, unless necessary for operation, do not operate with one hand for a long time, and do not place your hand on the gear or window frame for a long time.

  When turning the steering wheel, do not use excessive force, turn it back quickly, and do not turn the steering wheel after the vehicle has stopped.

  When driving on bumpy roads, both hands should hold the steering wheel firmly to prevent accidents from happening due to the steering wheel losing control.

  When turning, if the steering wheel is not turned properly, it is most likely to cause accidents. Therefore, it is best to slow down the speed of the vehicle when turning. When entering a curve, it is necessary to slowly turn the direction according to the curvature of the curve. When the front of the car is about to turn right, it starts to turn back. After fully turning, it is necessary to turn back to right and continue refueling. When turning, remember not to remember the number of revolutions in the direction. If you only remember the number of revolutions without looking at the front of the car, it can easily cause accidents.
