Yup getting a driving wheel cover helped a lot with driving especially push pull method

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Wonderful. Yes that has helped many learners 🙂

[@Jmmb06]

Thank you for creating this channel. These videos are very informative and helpful to me.

[@lilziro1662]

I can’t help but boogie to the transition music whilst I learn 😂🎉

[@bencodykirk]

I find 9-3 to be the most comfortable for me. I think it might depend on the individual and the vehicle being driven.

[@ParveshRudra]

This one of the best. I am Parvesh Rudra using same techniques in Canada

[@josephsiyanda.5112]

Think practice,and practice is the most important thing in driving lessons.

[@neongarden8974]

i prefer to use hand over hand method than push and pull.

[@juliancav]

its easy , just a bad habit to form, harder to stop doing it once you've started

[@DS94everXev]

You can't make quick adjustments by doing this method. Your arms are locked and you can't change the steering quickly. Push pull is king. It allows immediate change at any point.

Congrats on passing! Just remember, you never stop learning - I passed in 1989 and still feel that I'm learning and improving my driving techniques.

4:35 how does that differ from crossing your arms what if the examiner counts that as crossing arms

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Amazing video. Thank you.

[@kjj4874]

I used and followed everything from this vid on my g29 racing wheel

[@kimMartinF2D]

A quarter to 3 is a better position. The reason? If the airbag was to burst the idea is you won't get your arms flying out to the side after being smashed by the airbag. A quarter to 3 hypothetically means the airbag will go "through" your arms not hitting them as the AB deploys. Try both positions and see what best suits.

[@luulechristine759]

Thankyou Teacher so much always gave us many wonderful lessons everyday. In Canberra, I am practising with my Teacher in the highway, and multi lane roundabouts in Canberra. Thanks Teacher so much and Best Regards!

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Hi Luule, You're welcome. Ah this is great to hear. I remember not long ago you mentioned you were practicing three point turn. This is great to hear you've come this far and now you are practicing highways. Have fun with the learning process and hopefully you'll get your licence soon too 😀💪

[@RobinDude]

i'm not sure if it's just a regional thing, but in America they actually changed the proper hand positioning to 9 and 3. I'd been told 10 and 2 all my life, and failed the question on my written exam.

[@drivingtestaustralia]

10 and 2 or 9 and 3. Both are acceptable. Because in both positions, your hands are right in front of your body and not in a weird position. The truth is that the driving examiners don't even care if you are holding the steering wheel in a 10 ad 2 or 9 and 3, as long as you can control the steering wheel and ultimately the car.

[@RobinDude]

[@Azmodael]

I watched the video with interest as I've been driving for about 3 years. Turns out I acquired at least one bad habit, but I guess that is inevitable... For example holding the wheel on the 7 and 5 positions. Its much more comfortable when on a long road with no turns. It compromises my ability to make sharp turns and I realize that, but when you are on a highway for hours it makes no sense to keep my hands up. When I make 90 degree turns in the city I turn "correctly", so yey i guess :)

[@analog9439]

Most of the things he designated as mistakes are not mistakes. Driving instructors make these things up all the time. Proper technique is the one you feel comfortable, whatever you do. If you feel you’re in control and things flow smoothly, then there’s nothing wrong with it.

[@yihaw149]

@@analog9439 true. I think the instructor are teaching students to pass the driving test. As long as you passed, drive however you want, as long as it's safe.

[@arlenecordner6696]

Thank you

[@veluschemistry5640]

Very well explained . ❤

[@charlottepmf3878]

The push & pull looks so easy on this video- not so much in practice! 😩

[@drivingtestaustralia]

It's just practicing Charlotte. Buy a steering wheel cover and practice at home. Then you will be fine :)

[@seluinitaufa846]

Yeah I hate the push and pull, prefer the cross over then separate my hands again.

[@losingmyfavoritegame8752]

A lot of those bad steering wheel habits go away once you correct your distance from the steering wheel.

[@suzzette8673]

Thank you!

[@BajanBoo]

#7 is the technique I used to turn left and right. I’m so used to it, I can’t do the other techniques

Best video I`ve watched on the subject!

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Thank you. I'm glad you found this helpful 🙂

[@kinglad1234]

when using the push and pull technique, is it acceptable to drag a hand to lower on the steering wheel before turning to allow for a smoother 'push' with that hand as you turn? For example, before turning right, dragging your left hand down to the bottom of the steering wheel and pushing with that hand, turning the wheel to the right. If this is acceptable, how far down can I put my hand?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Yes acceptable. As long as you maintain a proper control of the steering wheel and the vehicle, and your hands are not in an awkward position that limit their movement, you're good

[@kinglad1234]

@@drivingtestaustralia Alight, thank you very much for the reply!

[@gustavoortiz4010]

Isnt the 2nd technique crossing hands tho?

[@drivingtestaustralia]

No Gustavo. This video shows the difference between crossing arms and hand over hand technique: kzbin.infozHE-4USJMxQ?si=oKk1u7IqtYxzaxX9

[@caitlingreen7502]

Are you actually aloud to do the hand over hand method cause im going for my test and not sure if i would fail if i was to do that method

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Yes, you are. Watch this video please: kzbin.infoAenZbut2jq4?si=hIqJtYOlVChhl0Sf

[@陈kopo]

yeah i’m so confused bc my instructor keeps telling me off whenever i do hand over hand. it seems u are allowed to for the test tho so i’m not sure why

[@stefaniedmms]

I wish I had watched this before my test 🥲 I failed my driver test because I did a lot of steering with my hand inside😞

[@oilwings]

I know all about the airbag poping. I still prefer driving 1 handed and palming my steering wheel while turning. I'm oldschool.

Doesn't make sense that you should do the second technique

Either techniques are acceptable

[@razona5139]

@@drivingtestaustralia but doesn't your hand cross the airbag

[@drivingtestaustralia]

In hand over hand technique, the hands are moving around but when you put your hand inside the rim of the steering wheel, you lock your hand there and consequently blocking the airbag

[@astronaut_69]

It might sound stupid to you but some of the ones that you think are wrong, are the anes that have helped me achieved my driving skills ! I've said enough, period ! 😊

[@drivingtestaustralia]

Oh no nothing is stupid. This is what is called "bad habits". Even if you use a wrong technique to turn the steering wheel, you manage to turn it somehow without running into any problems over time. For someone who starts learning to drive, it's best to learn the proper ways of doing it.
