Steering

developing steering control involves acquiring visual habits,such as looking far ahead into your intended path of travel,using space correctly,controlling speed,and continually adjusting the steering wheel.

Most Safest

Backing into the driveway on the right

Midblock U-turn

1.Check traffic ahead and to the rear and then signal right. Pull to the far right and stop at location Signal left and move toward location 2.Check your front and left rear zones.Check your left blind spot.Turn sharply left while moving slowly toward location. 3. Do not stop if you have enough space to complete turn.

Pulling into a driveway on your right side

1.Check traffic in a front and rear zones. Signal a right turn and use the right turn procedure to move to location 2. Stop when your vehicle is off the street. 2.Check traffic again from both directions from both directions. Back slowly across the street,turning left toward location 3. Look to the left,rear, and side while backing. Glance to the front,then continue looking back while stopping with the wheels straight in location 3. 3.Accelerate gently, and drive forward to location 4

Pulling into a driveway on your left side

1.Check traffic in front and rear zones. Signal a left turn and use the left turn procedure to move to location 2. Stay as close to the ride side as possible. Stop with your wheels straight when your vehicle is completely off the street 2.Check the traffic again especially from the right. Back slowly to the right to location 3. Look to the right rear and side while backing. Stop with the wheels straight. 3.Accelerate gently, scanning all zones, as you driver forward towards location 4

Backing into a driveway on the Right Side

1.Check traffic to the rear. Begin to slow as you proceed beyond the driveway 2.Stop about three feet from the curb and with your rear bumper just beyond the driveway.Check traffic and back slowly to the right to location 3. Use hand over hand steering. Stop when your vehicle is completely off the street. 3.Signal left turn. Check traffic 4.When your path is clear,drive forward to location 4

Parallel Parking

1.Flash brake lights,and signal a right turn. Stop two or three feet away from the front vehicle with the two rare bumpers even. Shift to reverse. Check traffic. Look back over your right shoulder.Back slowly as you turn right. Aim toward the right rear corner of the space. Control speed with your foot brake(clutch at friction point in a stick-shift vehicle) 2.When the back of your seat is even eight the rear bumper of the front vehicle,straighten the wheels. Determine your personal reference point for this position. Slowly back straight. Look over your shoulder,through the rear window. 3.When your front bumper is even with the front vehicle's back bumper,turn your wheels sharply left. Back slowly. Look out the rear window. 4.When your vehicle is Parallel to the curb,straighten wheels and stop before you touch the vehicle behind. Develop reference points to know your distance from the curb and from the vehicle behind you. Slowly pull forward to center your vehicle in the space

3 point turn(K turn)

1.From location 1 check front and rear zones. Signal right and stop close to the curb as shown in location 2. Check traffic ahead,to the rear,and over your left shoulder. Signal a left turn 2. Search front and rear zones you turn sharply left. Move to location 3 with wheels straight. Stop before hitting the curb. 3.Check all traffic again. Turn the wheels sharply right while back-I got slowly to location 4. Back only as far as necessary to complete the maneuver and before hitting the curb. Stop with wheels straight 4.Check traffic again and signal left.Move slowly toward while steering left toward location 5

Steering Straight Backwards

1.Hold the brake pedal down and shift to reverse. 2.Turn your body to the right,and pt your right arm over the back of the passenger seat.Look back through the rear window. 3.Put your left hand at the top of the steering wheel at a 12 o clock position 4.Release pressure on the brake just enough to allow the vehicle to creep backward slowly. 5.While looking back through the rear window,move the top of the steering wheel toward the direction you want the back of the vehicle to go. 6.Keep your foot over the brake pedal while your vehicle is moving backwards.Glance quickly to the front sides to check traffic.Continue to look through the rear window as you stop.

Downhill Parking with a curb

1.Position your vehicle close the curb and stop. 2.Let the vehicle creep forward slowly while turning the steering wheel sharply right. Let the right front tire rest gently against the curb. 3.Shift to park(reverse in stick shift) and set the parking brake. 4.When leaving the parking space,check traffic and back a short distance while straightening the wheels. Signal and check traffic again. Shift to drive(first in a stick shift) and accelerate into traffic. Downhill Parking with no Curb

Uphill Parking with no curb

1.Position your vehicle close to the curb and stop. 2.Let the vehicle creep forward slowly while turning the steering wheel sharply right,as in the 3rd picture. Let the rough front tire rest gently against the curb. 3.Shift to park,and set the parking brake. 4.When leaving the parking space,check traffic and back a short distance while straightening the wheels. Signal and check traffic again. Shift to drive,and accelerate into traffic

Backing a Stick Shift Vehicle

1.Push the brake and clutch pedals down. 2.Shit to reverse. 3.Release the brake(May cause the vehicle to jerk back quickly)and let the clutch come out slowly to the friction point. Holding the clutch at a fp allows you to back the vehicle at a slow,controlled speed.

Uphill Parking with a curb

1.Using personal reference points, position your vehicle close to the curb.Just before stopping,turn the steering wheel sharply left. 2.Shift to neutral.Let the vehicle creep back slowly until the back of the right-front tire gently touches the curb. 3.Shift to park(first in a stick shift) and set the parking brake 4.When leaving the parking space,signal,check traffic,and accelerate into the lane of traffic

Most dangerous

3 point turn

Standard reference point,reference and personal

A reference point is some part of the outside or the inside of the vehicle,as viewed from the drivers seat. A standard reference point is the point on the vehicle that is typical for most drivers. A personal reference point is an adaptation of a standard reference point for one's own vehicle. Reference points can be developed for the front,side,or rear to help you know where your vehicle is located in the roadway.Personal reference point is a adaptation of a standard reference point for ones own vehicle

Downhill Parking with no curb

Follow the same procedure as downhill parking with a curb. Turn wheels sharply as you creep as near to shoulder as possible.Use the same steps for parking downhill with a curb to complete this maneuver and to leave the parking space. When you leave any hill parking space ,make sure you have a big enough gap to enter traffic safely. Traffic coming down the hill may be approaching faster than you think it is You have to be able to start moving forwards to avoid rolling backwards. Staring on a uphill grade without rolling back involves timing and coordination

You decide what turnabout to do by the following:

Legality of the turnabout Amount of traffic Types of driveways available Need to enter traffic lanes forward or backward Ample space to enter traffic Number of traffic lanes to cross

Steering Straight Foward

The steering adjustments you need to make to drive in a straight line are small but critical.Some new drivers tend to turn the steering wheel too much, or oversteer. When you oversteer,your vehicle will weave from side to side. Others tend to understeer. These drivers do not turn the steering wheel enough to keep the vehicle in the planned path. If you understeer,you continue too far in one direction before you can correct and steer toward your target. Correct under steering by turning the steering wheel only slightly straight and more often.

Parking is easier and safer if you consider these factors:

Try to find a parking space with ample room for entering and exiting.The size of your vehicle is the main factor in determining the space you choose. Avoid spaces at the end of the parking lanes and near a large vehicle that might block your view. In end spaces your vehicle has a greater chance of being struck by other moving vehicles. Avoid spaces with a poorly parked vehicle on either side. Use reference points when executing parking maneuvers

Signaling

Up-right turn Straight-left turn Down-stop Make all hand signals well in advance.
