How much to turn the steering wheel - Junctions & Bends

Many people ask me how much they need to turn the steering wheel on bends and junctions. In this video I explain and demonstrate how you can judge how much steering to add and the common mistakes many new drivers make when trying to steer.
Here is a link to my video to judge the width of your car and lane placement:

I had my first driving lesson on Friday after watching some of your videos (at the age of 29) my instructor thought i was having him on when i went in so confident and knowing the controls and how to steer.. junctions this week! He mentioned that he was so surprised as he has some students who aren’t at my level after 5+ lessons. Your videos are absolutely invaluable; thankyou!!

I appreciate that you mention your criticism of the Hazard Awareness test, that really has (unfortunately) trained me to identify problems like a hawk. The pen/paper exercise really opened my eyes to that.

[@kariinareads6285]

I was actually doing quite a different mistake when turning right into a main road. I would literally come out of a junction in a straight line so far that then I would need to do a 90 degree turn in the middle of a new road to get myself towards the right 😂 My first 4-5 lessons were a nightmare with steering, I was avoiding the kerb like my life depended on it, always steering wide, or cutting corners, never straightening up in time, coming back home all sad and frustrated. And then around my 6-7th lesson something changed, I've started to look Into a new road when turning instead of a kerb, I've started to FEEL when I need to straighten up, so I think it came to me naturally with practice. I now had 10 hours of lessons, and my steering is more or less okay, I just still mess up sometimes on very tight junctions.

[@ConquerDriving]

You're getting better then, you will continue to with practise.

[@hibathanzil]

I am so glad I am not the only one with this problem!!!

[@lenalee5516]

I feel less miserable now knowing im not the only one, steering is my main struggle even im getting a lot lot better with my 12th hour today even my instructor said that to me, but i still feel a little uncomfortable on tight junctions as u said. I bet you've got a lot better now tho xD

[@dianap.484]

Thank you so much for this video! I have been in drivers school for about 2-3 weeks now and my instructor told me last lesson that everything is ok, except my direction which is very bad. I still cannot hold the car straight in the center of the lanes or do turns properly. :( Since I have poor eyesight (Ive been wearing glasses since I was 7) and have always been a very clumsy person with poor spatial awareness, I started to dread that maybe I am just not cut out to drive. Your video gives me hope that this is something that I can work on!

This is also helpful in judging how much the road bends, which gives a better idea if you’ll need to decelerate or maintain speed as you make the turn, as some turns won’t always have an advisory speed limit.

[@Ryan_Nath]

My mother in law gave me a lesson last week, I didn't realize how scary it would be. I kept swerving left because I thought oncoming was going to crash into me, and I kept swerving right because it looks like the car is on the curb, it also looks like the drivers side is slightly in the wrong lane, hence the swerving to the left lool so weird. These videos help so much

[@jassonhyde]

Your content is pure masterpiece! All these natural things must be in driving courses before getting in the car, after that the first thing is precising with clutch, and only then go on the road to see the real situation - road lines, signs, pedestrians and everything, but actually prepared to control the car or at least to have the idea without worrying too much.

[@neoshenlong]

Yeah I agree. I got one hour with a car in a mostly empty road. Basically just had to move forward at a very slow pace and turn around the corner, that was it. Next lesson I was on a road with a bunch of things to look out for. It was terrible. I'm convinced they should give you two lessons in an empty practicing ground where they teach you all of this basic stuff and let you learn to feel things on your own (the biting point, the precision for your steering and your pedals, etc). That way when you begin driving in real situations you don't need to figure that out on the road.
