Push-Pull technique
Discussion
Do they still teach you to steer the car this way on your driving test?
Am I alone in thinking that every single driver you can see on the road using this technique NEVER seem to be in control of the vehicle while turning, especially if a quick alteration is needed? (plus they all seem to drive Micras, Matizes and similar, but that's a different story
)
I know it makes sense IN THEORY but don't most drivers stop using it straight after receiving their driving licence?
Any PHers PushingAndPulling?

Drive a car without PAS. That teaches you the origins of "push pull" and how useful it can be.
It's not the only way to steer, it's not the best way to steer in all circumstances, but it's a useful technique and should be a feather in the cap of anyone who considers themself a keen driver, IMO.
I like that a lot! Brilliant answer! Thank youIt's not the only way to steer, it's not the best way to steer in all circumstances, but it's a useful technique and should be a feather in the cap of anyone who considers themself a keen driver, IMO.

It's not a 'gangsta lean' at all. I still keep my right hand at the same place as I would using Push-Pull, but I just find it more comfy to keep my left on the gear stick. However If i am entering a bend which I think i'll need more lock than I can manage with just one hand, then I will choose the appropiate gear and get both hands back on the wheel.
As for the winding my mate up, thats only been at 10-15mph on an absolutly dead road out of the way with nothing about.
Will your gear stick fall off if you won't hold it? As for the winding my mate up, thats only been at 10-15mph on an absolutly dead road out of the way with nothing about.
You may hit a pothole and you won't be able to hold on to the wheel with one hand only...

More of mine steering technique than the guy in a video above.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyTtr9OA0DY
I'm talking only about the steering. That's exactly how I do it when driving faster.
