what is the correct way to turn the steering wheel?10 points?

Your hands should rest on the steering wheel at the clock positions of 10 and 2. Turning right or left, you would start the turn with both hands on the outside of the wheel and then turn hand over hand to complete the turn. It doesn't much matter which hand goes first. I'd sit in the car and practice the turn and see what is most natural. Whatever you do don't try turning the steering wheel with your hand inside the wheel - you have very little control and if the car hits a bump or surges the wheel can snap out of your control and you could lose control of the vehicle.

Brakes and gas. The best results for applying either are to start with a light pressure and increase pressure to gas pedal to accelerate or brake to slow down. Slow and easy pressure is the best while learning to get the feel of the vehicle. I'd practice in an open area or empty parking to avoid contact with any moving vehicles. Learn how to accelerate fast and how to brake hard - both moves can be dangerous in close proximity to other vehicles but you should know how it feels and you should know how hard the brakes are in the event of an emergency. The rules on brakes and gas vary significantly depending on traffic flow, sometimes you can just go with the flow and brake easy, sometimes you have to accelerate faster and brake harder. The harder you accelerate the more gas is wasted - the engine gets flooded with gas and you burn it faster. And brakes get worn easily if you always brake hard. I like to do things in moderation now, I get great mileage and my brakes last forever. But that's me, I've had the crap scared out of me a few times in the past and I like having more control. Going a little easier gives you more control and I've saved my neck that way, and a few bucks.

Steering wheel.. you hold at 9 and 3, and turn the wheel hand over hand....

Brakes...Brake with your right foot whether you have a stick or auto,,,, ease up on the gas well before where you will stop, apply brakes gently....

gas...drive like you have a raw egg between your foot and the pedal.....

Hold on, It's going to be a long explaination. But if you stick to it, I gaurentee that you will soon enough be able to drive like a pro. This is a technique used in rallying and racing, and considered the best method for road driving too. It might take some time to pick up, but with it, you will be able to turn the wheel as much as possible, with as few hand-movements as possible, with most control and still do it very easily.

There are many ways to grip and turn the wheel. You might be told to use a very specific one ("pull push" or "shuffle"), but these techniques make you pull with one hand, push with the other,pull with the first hand, than push again -- in short, a lot of hand movements, less actual steering. You will get more tired and your steering will not be very smooth. Also, don't use only one hand: you will get back aches, be in danger of crashing and, besides, what can be more cool than a professional racing technique?

Your basic grip of the wheel should be at 09:15. With the wheel as a clock, it's both sides of the wheel, dead center. There are usually two spores connecting the hub of the wheel with the rim at that point. This creates two padded detents to hook your thumbs into, without fearing that they be crashed should you go over a potehole. Additionally, this is the way the wheel is meant to be held: That way, your fingertips can easily reach the signals and lights without leaving the wheel. From this position, you can easily and smoothly turn the wheel to either side with both hands, up to 270 degrees! This is very good for little steering adjustments or if you suddenly need to avoid something quickly. A 10 to-2 grip is far less recommended: In theory, it's supposed to be more comfortable (hand rest on the rim). In reality, your hands don't rest on the rim unless you keep them ontop of it (11 and 1), so you are just losing control over the car and your hands can be broken if the airbag deploys.

When you need to turn the wheel, you have two options:

1. Fixed-input: When the direction of travel remains dead ahead: switching lanes, driving through fast curves or making an emergency evasive manouver. Just hold the wheel at 09:15 and turn it smoothly to where you want.

2. Pull: When you corner with less speed and need to turn the steering wheel more and change the direction in which the car is going. The idea is to use the pulling hand (the hnad in the direction of the corner, right hand for a right-hand corner), which is more sensitive and makes it easier to turn the wheel and control it. This depends on how much wheel you need to turn:

First example: Let's take an access ramp leading into the highway. This typically requires you to turn the wheel 90 degrees (quarter of a turn). Let's say you take a right turn. You place your right hand ontop of the wheel, and the other hand stays where it is (on the left side of the wheel), now you pull the wheel with the right hand and let it run under your left hand. Now, you have turned the car into the corner with maximum sensitivity, and now your hands are again on both sides of the wheel (09:15 position). This means you can use both hands to turn the wheel more to each direction. When you want to bring it back straight, you do the same in reverse: The left hand goes ontop of the wheel and pulls it back down to it's side while the right hand lets it slide under it.

A second example: A normal, left-hand, turn: This normally requires the wheel to be turned 180 degrees. This time, the left hand is moves just above the stationary right hand. It than pulls the wheel untill it gets back to the side of the wheel where it came from. Again, you have turned the wheel 180 degrees, but your hands are again in 09:15, ready to put in or out more steering.

The last example is a sharp turn (say, to the left, again), requiring 270 degrees of rotation. This one might feel odd at first, but with practice it can be perfected. The left hand moves on the bottom of the wheel, with the fingers pointing up (holding the wheel), and than pulls under the stationary hand (which lifts up for a moment), and back to it's original location on the wheel. As I said, this might feel odd, but it will help you turn the wheel more easily, since in any other method you will need to make a lot more handmovements to turn the wheel this much, whereas here it's in one hand movement!

Oh, yes, about the pedals: First off, before you turn, slow down! Think about it, the time you can gain by entering a corner fast is a few tenths of a second. However, if you enter a corner wisely (which is usually down right slow), you can exit it faster and with more gas. This is also what race drivers do: They enter a corner slow (yes, slow) and exit fast. So, after you slowed down, stay lightly on the brake. You will feel that as you brake, you are slightly pushed forward, this means that the car is leaning forward (due to braking), on it's front wheels, which are the ones doing the ste

When i got my permit i was taught to kind of shuffle with your hands, i was told this was because if for some reason while turning you hit something and the air bags went off, you wouldnt have your arms thrown into your face.

But when i was doing behind the wheel training with a professional they told me to go hand over hand, so i dont know, its just your preference i guess

"i replaced into pulling my e-brake in my motor vehicle a pair of situations to slip" particularly probable the dumbest component I even have ever heard of, this could nicely be a Sentra! no longer a 300ZX, or possibly a 280Z. My in demand operative word here replaced into "a pair", which potential I do stupid issues in contraptions. Now, there is the potential of injury to the rack and pinion, you surely positioned that device in the path of the stresses of a ruin. The E Brake replaced into in basic terms meant for use as a parking brake, by no potential a drifting equipment. i might have the brake device regarded at, yet any dealership is going to have the ability to tell how this befell by potential of staring at it. Plus braking systems at the instant are not lined under guarantee to stay away from considered one of those stupidity. A Sentra, quite? And to the grasp Mitibushi Tech, i does no longer advise writing that as quickly as you don't understand who makes the NISSAN Sentra, operative word there, NISSAN

to make a right turn,grab the wheel with your right hand at the 10 o-clock position,and turn right until it reaches the 2 o-clock position,then grab at the 10oclock with your left hand and turn to 2oclock then swing your right hand over to 10oclock,grab wheel turn to 2oclock etc...tillyou make turn,then put left at 10 right hand at 2 and let go of wheel(not literally,let wheel slide thru your hands as it straitens itself up)to make left turn start left hand at 2turn to 10 right at 2 turn to 10etc...its called the hand over hand technique.as for brakes &gas i need more info.i will tell you that when you stop behind somebody pul up to where the bottom of their back tires look like they are sitting on top of the edge of your hood.if you cant see their tires youre too close.goo:Dluck
