Steering A Car - How To Steer A Car Video Tutorial


Steering A Car

On your driving test, when steering a car, the examiner will expect you to:
  • Hold the steering wheel at either the ten-to-two or quarter-to-three position.

  • Steer smoothly and at the correct time

  • Avoid crossing your hands over one another when turning

  • Avoid letting the wheel spin back through your hands when straightening up

  • Avoid weaving in and out between parked cars

  • Obey lane markings.

Dry Steering
Turning the steering wheel when the car isn't moving is called dry steering. This is something you should try and avoid as it puts undue strain on the steering mechanism and causes premature wear to the front tyres. If carrying out a low speed manoeuvre, such as turning in the road, you should get the car moving before you start to steer.

Steering Lock
When you turn the steering wheel as far as it will go it is at full lock. This is the maximum angle the front wheels will reach. On full lock the car's turning circle is at it's smallest.

What the driving test examiner expects of you during the driving test.
