Safe Steering Techniques for Beginners

“Oh my god!”, the fruit vendor at the Xuan Thuy – Cau Giay intersection exclaimed as she witnessed a small truck swerving dangerously close to the median strip. The motorbike taxi driver next to her chuckled: “Another newbie truck driver. Probably panicked while making a sharp turn.”

Such nerve-wracking situations are not uncommon, especially for those new to driving. So, how to steer a vehicle smoothly, safely, and confidently? Let’s explore this in detail with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!

Steering Techniques: A Comprehensive Guide

1. Seating Position and Steering Wheel Grip

• Seating Position: Adjust the driver’s seat for comfort, ensuring easy access to the brake and accelerator pedals. Place your hands on the steering wheel at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, or the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock positions.
• Steering Wheel Grip: Hold the steering wheel firmly but not too tightly, applying even pressure when steering.

2. Basic Steering Techniques

• Slow Steering: Apply this technique at low speeds, when making wide turns, or parking. Turn the steering wheel slowly and gently in the desired direction.
• Quick Steering: Use this technique when a sudden change of direction or a sharp turn is required. Turn the steering wheel quickly and decisively.
• Steering Wheel Recovery: After turning, you need to return the steering wheel to its original position to straighten the vehicle. Perform this action gently, avoiding sudden movements that could destabilize the vehicle.

3. Common Steering Situations

• Turning: Reduce speed before entering a turn, steer smoothly, and maintain a consistent speed.
• Reversing: Carefully observe the rearview, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the intended reverse direction.
• Parking: Different parking styles (parallel, perpendicular) require different steering techniques. Always maintain a slow speed and observe carefully.
