@tilus75 thanks for your comment. However I disagree with your recommendation. The pull push style I recommend in the video is based on Roadcraft the police drivers handbook. One should look at the turn about to be performed and know whether a turn requires more than fixed input. The sle you are suggesting will require too many movements for a standard 90 degree turn and if used on an advanced test would definitely cause a lower grade. A a gold level advanced driver I have proven the technique

Hi Schattenkonig58. I'm glad you found it useful. I'm hoping to add a few more videos over the coming weeks also. Hopefully you'll get something good from them also. Thanks again for the comment.

If that is THE best and safest method, I quite literally am Jesus. Since, I'm evidently not, calling this the BEST and SAFEST method is complete blasphemy

Even though i've past my test i still don't know how to steer properly. I can see in this video how control of the car is maintained by using this technique but i cannot seem to understand how to do it myself. When i try to my hands are all over the place, my arms are crossing over or the movements i do are too small. I steer like a little boy playing 'lets pretend to drive a car'. It would be really good if you could help me to understand this better please b/c i really can't seem to do it.

You don't have to start the push pull at 12 clock position, quite the opposite, you can apply 210 degrees of motion by fixed hand positions, and then you can start the push pull if you have to. There is no point removing any of your hand to start a winding motion early in the movement. In an ideal situation you do not have to grip the wheel anywhere, but at the 9 3 and 6 hour position, does not matter if you do hand over hand or push pull.
