@crashtubes This is North America, we drive differently, that is why if you come here you must study and take our tests to get a valid American license..
@killallianceftw Well, for starters UK roads are much smaller and harder to navigate, there's no room for error. Roundabouts everywhere and every lane is congested.
Google UK roads or driving test and see for yourself :)
you shouldn't drive like that. my driving instructor told me to imagine the air bag going off when you are doing that it would move your arms into your face whereas if your hands are not crossed over they wouldn't get pushed into your face...
no this form of steering is dangerous if you have to change direction in say an emergency. the feeding method is safer. I get that now. don't do this people!
@FibrousAcquiescence In an emergency I woul'd prefer to use this method to be honest, The sliding method can be too slow and as long as you have 100% grip over the wheel it isn't really a problem (just don't start riding like a gangster barely holding the wheel and turning with the palm of your hand).lol.
It's weird because I asked a while ago at the local roads and traffic authority and they said hand over hand can;t be used BUT I recently went for a test and after checking my car the instructor stated "Hand over hand or push pull method can be used"
I used hand over hand and passed (score of 100 out of 103)
This is actaully the wrong way to do it. If you do this and get in a crash, your hands and arms will go into your skull and possibly kill you! Use hand to hand feed, not hand over hand. If u get in an accident using hand to hand feed your hands will go off to the side, and not into your skull which is much safer. (i leanred this from driving school and alot of car racers use it)
he is not steering, he is explaining how you use the wheel when making a broken u-turn. If you would have been good drivers you would know what he was doing. And since when is it not safe to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times?
I can't believe you all are getting your panties in a bunch ... it's a "how to steer" vid. I was looking up for my little sister! In the last 2 pages, peoples' race, ethnicity, country of origin and even sexual orientation have been addressed. I don't usually comment on YouTube but sheesh, get lives ... all y'all!
Here in Australia, it's now a requirement that we use pull-push steering for everything except slow manoeuvres, like the rules in the UK and Europe. Hand-over-hand isn't considered a safe method any more.
@Gr4tefuldead Fact is, all Americans go and try save hostages and blow them up with a grenade instead. Leading to the conclusion that ALL Americans are numbnuts
Damn, i almost sound as ignorant and steriotypical as you!
@crazy456eyes Now I have no idea what this "Gr4etfuldead" guy said , but wow talking shit about America how typical. Have you ever been to America and if so where? I will admit though that America has "numbnuts" like ALL other countries. I personally think your just jealous of the rich cultured, FREE land that I like to call home, America. DICK.
@MrAddmac Many countries are equally free. The USA doesn't have the monopoly oin freedom, though the government likes to portray it that way to its citizens.
@MrAddmac Oh my goodness. I think it was quite obvious to most intelligent people that I was being sarcastic. The guy said something like, "Fact is, all British people are homosexuals" or something... So I just commented back to him letting him realize how ridiculous he sounded.
I have been to USA, and it has some nice places. I'm from England and we have the same amount of freedom as you and is also a rich country like yours. So I don't see why I would be jealous of something we already have.
@crazy456eyes I was demonstrating to unedcuated cock sucks like him that just because one person does something doesn't mean the whole nation does too.
USA's "special" forces went to save a hostage in Afghanistan who was important, but instead they threw a grenade at her and blew her to pieces. That was pretty stupid to say that is America's "best" that they have.
Like I said, just because one or a few people of one nation do something doesn't mean they all do. Seems like I'm teaching you also
Overhand for me just feels awkward. I drive with my left hand underhand on the left side (of course). I use two hands to turn. Although I could use one, it feels comfortable to use two and they take turns touching the wheel. When my other hand touches the wheel, the other let's go. I think you should drive as long as you feel you have control of the vehicle. Any discomfort can lead to a miscalculation of a turn and a possible accident.
@boobie284 lmao i passed like 5 months ago, nd i do this method of turning quite frequently lmao. As long as you have 100% control is really isnt that bad. It feels a lot more natural to your hand rather than the other standard method, trust me.
@DholPrince loll tbh I was just kidding lmao but thanks for the advice... I just got my permit this monday so lol ... I'm like ok looking up some stuff on basics but this came up instead of the vids I was "Really" lookin' for... the mistakes people make.... lmao
@8LiGhTs8 Lmao, wow I commented 9 months ago. Well I got my license 4.5months ago :), and tbh I turn like this ALL THE TIME! way quicker and feels more natural xD... It just depends on whatever you feel more comfortable to. As long as you always have complete control you will be fine..good luck on your test :)
@DholPrince USA, its long story, but shes terrible. My friends have different instructers which are much better according to them. Apparently shes new at the job, which sucks for me.
@8LiGhTs8 Dude, change that bitch out now!!! lol, seriously, if you have a shitty instructor their ruining the whole driving experience and probably giving you bad habits which could kinda be dangerous later on. Your best bet would be to switch to one of your friends instructors, at least thats what I would do. Trust me you wanna pass ASAP. The first moment where you drive by yourself and the road is yours so simply GLORIOUS! lol
this is the safest way to control the car through tough, tight, turns...I am not sure how you drive in Canada, but in the US this is the proper way ...Shuffling the wheel is DANGEROUS and dificult...
Left hand inverted (thumb down) at 3 o'clock. Right hand off the wheel entirely. Kid running from the outside of the turn sprints into the road without looking and you need to tighten the turn to avoid him.
In this position you have NO way of safely doing that without waiting for your right hand to get back to the wheel.
The main non-crossed techniques NEVER leave you unable to make immediate adjustments.
it's not unusual that they frown upon this kind of steering when you're doing your test in the UK..... for starters, when you're learning, they don't teach you how to drive properly or well.... they just teach you how to be safe around other road users, because you're in control of a huge piece of unfamiliar machinery.... so it's all gently-gently-two-hands-on-the-wheel-at-all-times nonsense.
you don't truly start learning to drive until after you've passed your test.
your not allowed to let go of the steering weel like that in meany places under a drivers test. you shoud only just let go in a way that you more slide the hand like the hand to hand. and thougs not crossing hands/arms
@1cheak2 well i got a ?. if u live in CA, USA, can u still pass or would u fail if u do a hand over hand or do u have to do it the hand to hang way to pass ???
I just spread out my fingers and push my arm against the wheel hard enough so my hand wont slip off the steering wheel and just turn. Sometimes I use my left hand if it's a bigger turn.
@crazy456eyes In UK, people are more intelligent and less lazy and even brave. They can drive manual transmission in tiny cars with small engines on tiny roads, with turnabouts and other things like this.
@crazy456eyes Never said that (at least I didn't mean it).
But hey, be honest, driving powerful cars with automatic transmission on wide roads is easier than having to change gear at every steep and make turns in very tiny roads.
BTW, I like driving automatic too. I just can't afford it now...
@mathieuemi666 Yeah it's easier, but with gear's you can control the revs a lot more to your own preference, wheras with automatic it does it for you.. I guess it depends if you want an easy ride, but i'd get bored without gear's.. Just me though, i'd prefer manual gears.. What i prefer a LOT more though is being able to change gears with the tabs on the steering wheel.. Thats awesome and lot easier and convienient : )
@crazy456eyes Well, that could be great in a race or for fun, but when you're struck in traffic and in a hill, I can tell you there is really no fun.
I think I'm more tired because of the clutch pedal than the gear lever. It really depends of your day-to-day journey.
I've got no problem apart in traffic jams with manual transmission, but I wouldn't miss it if someone gave me a car with automatic gearbox. See what I mean?
Semi-automatic seems to be a good solution, like Ferrari's gearboxes :-)
You can do some slight 'crossing' in the uk test as long as you show complete control of the vehicle. This is why the push pull method is mainly required. It is the most effective form of steering. Most people get lazy once they've passed and do far too much 'crossing', thinking its more effective or easier when most of the time it isnt. If you're driving with more 'crossing' than 'push pull' you're not steering effectively. But hey, each to their own as long as you dont hurt anyone else.
@pheeson That's very interesting. I've never heard that before. Is it because of safety reasons? I'm just wondering because in America a lot of us use the hand over hand steering. However, I use the method where I go hand to hand. It drove my driving instructor crazy. But in the UK they use the hand to hand method right?
@pheeson If drivers are are conditioned not to cross an arm to the other side, they can only turn 90 deg with one hand and then stop for a short moment to switch hands. Or they may drop a hand to the bottom of the wheel then turn the wheel 180 deg.. In an emergency, this takes precious time.
drivers using hand over hand would have no reservation about crossing an arm to the other side, making a quick 1/2 turn possible (from 9 to 3 or vise versa), avoiding air bag deployment situation.
@04smallmj That was a terrible come-back. Snow is actually edible by the way. And we don't eat snow, it is not even a common stereotype. However you drinking coffee, having nasty yellow teeth, not being able to pronounce the letters of the english language properly, making up terrible slang terms, having tiny useless streets, not having any large contributions to modern society are all stereotypes based on true facts. Wanna fuck off now?
@AbhiLabi LOL so your assumption that all British people drink coffee, have nasty yellow teeth, can't speak the NATIVE ENGLISH language properly, and don't contribute to modern society are based on facts? Please enlighten me, I'd love to see these "facts" supported by some kind of infallible evidence.
Tiny streets we indeed have in some areas but useless? No. Is Britain the only Sovereign State to create terrible slang terms? No.

I just spread out my fingers and push my arm against the wheel hard enough so my hand wont slip off the steering wheel and just turn. Sometimes I use my left hand if it's a bigger turn.

If i did that in my test they'd instantly fail my ass.

Too slow.
Press your palm against the steering wheel and use your palm to turn. Much faster.
(Not good if your hand is greasy, fat and sweaty, though).

This was a lot more helpful than the PennDOT manual. And I have to do it this way on my test or fail. Thanks for posting.

Push-pull is also used because you avoid injury if the airbags deploy. If you have your hands crossed over, you'll hit yourself.

Here in the UK if you cross your hands then that would be a fail if you're doing a test

how else do you do it?

In the UK, you have to use the push-pull steering method for the test.

@machineromance
Left hand moves in range 0600 to 1200
Right hand moves in range 1200 to 0600
both hands stay level, but only 1 hand is ever holding at a time
standard health & safety gone-mad culture here

@maximisatwat Well, the other one should "let it go" so that it's ready to hold it again in case of a sudden turn in the other direction.

@machineromance In UK you have to shuffle your hands because if you cross your arms you dont have as much control over your steering

@crazy456eyes In UK, people are more intelligent and less lazy and even brave. They can drive manual transmission in tiny cars with small engines on tiny roads, with turnabouts and other things like this.

@mathieuemi666 true true, and americans only need to be able to make the car go and they passed their test haha imagine if it was that easy here
crazy456eyes 1 year ago
@crazy456eyes Never said that (at least I didn't mean it).
But hey, be honest, driving powerful cars with automatic transmission on wide roads is easier than having to change gear at every steep and make turns in very tiny roads.
BTW, I like driving automatic too. I just can't afford it now...
mathieuemi666 1 year ago
@mathieuemi666 Yeah it's easier, but with gear's you can control the revs a lot more to your own preference, wheras with automatic it does it for you.. I guess it depends if you want an easy ride, but i'd get bored without gear's.. Just me though, i'd prefer manual gears.. What i prefer a LOT more though is being able to change gears with the tabs on the steering wheel.. Thats awesome and lot easier and convienient : )
crazy456eyes 1 year ago
@crazy456eyes Well, that could be great in a race or for fun, but when you're struck in traffic and in a hill, I can tell you there is really no fun.
I think I'm more tired because of the clutch pedal than the gear lever. It really depends of your day-to-day journey.
I've got no problem apart in traffic jams with manual transmission, but I wouldn't miss it if someone gave me a car with automatic gearbox. See what I mean?
Semi-automatic seems to be a good solution, like Ferrari's gearboxes :-)
mathieuemi666 1 year ago
@mathieuemi666 Yeah i know what you mean. Clutch pedal is tiresome after a while. Yeah semi automatic is my favorite lol

You can do some slight 'crossing' in the uk test as long as you show complete control of the vehicle. This is why the push pull method is mainly required. It is the most effective form of steering. Most people get lazy once they've passed and do far too much 'crossing', thinking its more effective or easier when most of the time it isnt. If you're driving with more 'crossing' than 'push pull' you're not steering effectively. But hey, each to their own as long as you dont hurt anyone else.

@pheeson it isnt here as long as your not going over 17 mph because thats the speed of which if you are in a "head on collision" the airbag comes out

@pheeson That's very interesting. I've never heard that before. Is it because of safety reasons? I'm just wondering because in America a lot of us use the hand over hand steering. However, I use the method where I go hand to hand. It drove my driving instructor crazy. But in the UK they use the hand to hand method right?
thweepz 1 year ago
@thweepz Well i don't really know why it's not allowed here, but if think of it like that
Imagine having your hands crossed on the steering wheel, and the air bag goes off
Boom hand-to-face collision, and that'll be painful considering the momentum produced by the air bag
pheeson 1 year ago
@pheeson If drivers are are conditioned not to cross an arm to the other side, they can only turn 90 deg with one hand and then stop for a short moment to switch hands. Or they may drop a hand to the bottom of the wheel then turn the wheel 180 deg.. In an emergency, this takes precious time.
drivers using hand over hand would have no reservation about crossing an arm to the other side, making a quick 1/2 turn possible (from 9 to 3 or vise versa), avoiding air bag deployment situation.
chunkyazian 1 year ago
@pheeson Yes, but in America your guys method is a fail for us, unless taking left turns.

@04smallmj That was a terrible come-back. Snow is actually edible by the way. And we don't eat snow, it is not even a common stereotype. However you drinking coffee, having nasty yellow teeth, not being able to pronounce the letters of the english language properly, making up terrible slang terms, having tiny useless streets, not having any large contributions to modern society are all stereotypes based on true facts. Wanna fuck off now?
AbhiLabi 1 year ago
@AbhiLabi I can't be bothered to argue with you. *blocked*.
04smallmj 1 year ago
@AbhiLabi LOL so your assumption that all British people drink coffee, have nasty yellow teeth, can't speak the NATIVE ENGLISH language properly, and don't contribute to modern society are based on facts? Please enlighten me, I'd love to see these "facts" supported by some kind of infallible evidence.
Tiny streets we indeed have in some areas but useless? No. Is Britain the only Sovereign State to create terrible slang terms? No.
In conclusion, you are an abhorrent fucktard.
