Fold your palms loosely over the rim and rest your thumbs lightly up the flat of the wheel.
Relax your shoulders and keep your arms free of your body.
The examiner on your driving test will expect you to:-
· Hold the steering wheel at either the
ten-to-two or quarter-to-three position.
· Steer at the correct time and smoothly.
· Avoid crossing your hands over one another
when turning.
· Avoid letting the wheel spin back through
your hands when straightening up.
· Keep to the left normally.
· Avoid weaving in and out between parked cars.
· Obey lane markings.
To steer
accurately you should look well ahead at where you are going. You must be able
to operate the main controls without looking at them. Looking down will result
in your car wandering from side to side.
Try to keep both hands on the wheel when braking or cornering.
Although you should keep both hands on the wheel as much as possible, there are times when you need to change gears or operate the lights, wipers and other controls.
When learning, find a straight, quiet road where you can steer with one hand while you practise using the controls.
When approaching right bends, move your right hand to the top of the wheel ready to pull it down to steer round the curve in the road.
When approaching left hand bends, move your left hand to the top of the wheel to pull it down to steer round the curve in the road.
When turning, try not to cross your hands over one another.
When turning left it is important for you to maintain a position about a metre from the kerb.

- Too close to the kerb and your rear wheel may roll over the kerb or even strike it, which could damage to the tyre.
- Too close to the kerb could cause you to swing out and into the path of approaching vehicles.
- Too close to the kerb and swinging out just before you turn could cause the following vehicle to swerve across the road to pass you.
