Push, Pull Steering Technique

Push, Pull Steering Technique


At 4front Driving School we teach the Push Pull Steering Technique as it is the is the expected and safest method of steering when learning to drive, reducing the risk of loosing control and avoids crossing arms. This technique allows you - the driver to sit in a better posture position. It helps you achieve a more controlled grip of the steering wheel and helps you perform smoother turn of the wheel. Therefore it is recognised as the safe practice when it comes to steering than other techniques. However when you pass your test it is up to you to decide what technique you adapt into your own Driving style or technique.




The Technique Explained

Position your hands at 10 O'clock and 2 O’clock on the steering wheel as if you were driving in a straight line. 

When you want to turn left, the left hand and right hand slide to 12 O'clock
The left hand pulls the steering wheel down to 6 O'clock while the right hand slides down to 6 O'clock to take over then the right hand at 6 O'clock pushes the steering wheel up to the 12 O'clock where the right hand meets at the top. This can continue until a full lock is achieved.

When you want to turn right, the left hand and right hand again need to slide to 12 O'clock.
The right hand this time pulls the steering wheel down to 6 O'clock while the left hand slides down to 6 O'clock instead to take over then the left hand at 6 O'clock pushes the steering wheel up to the 12 O'clock where the right hand meets at the top. This can continue until a full lock is achieved.

To straighten up the car, you need to let the steering wheel glide through your fingers and grip the wheel when the wheels are straight.

crossings

Types of pedestrian crossings When learning to drive a focus of a lesson can be based around pedestrian crossings. During your driving test, the examiner will be looking at how you deal with or react to pedestrian crossings. They want to make sure that you are planning ahead, showing awareness and responding to them them in the safest possible way.  Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles. Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and do n

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test

Sat Nav In Your Driving Test This part of the test is your independent driving part and it’ll last around 20 minutes - roughly half of the test. Following directions from a sat nav During the independent driving part of the test, most candidates will be asked to follow directions from a sat nav. The examiner will provide the sat nav (a TomTom Start 52) and set it up. You won’t need to set the route - the examiner will do this for you. So, it doesn’t matter what make or model of sat nav you practise with. You can’t follow directions from your own sat nav during the test - you have to use the one supplied by the examiner. You’ll be able to ask the examiner for confirmation of where you’re going if you’re not sure. It won’t matter if you go the wrong way unless you nake a fault while doing it. One in 5 driving tests won’t use a sat nav. You’ll need to follow traffic signs instead. If you are interested in learning to drive then please call Simon at 4front Driving School on 07905657229 Or
