When first learning to drive, go to a secluded parking lot or other closed circuit area where there is little or no traffic. Here, practice turning the vehicle. By doing this technique you can become familiar with the response of the steering wheel, which is one of the vehicle's primary controls.

There are two techniques for manipulating the steering wheel:

1) Hand-over-hand, which is the preferred method in North America and other parts of the world.

2) Hand-to-hand, which is the preferred method for a road test in the U.K., Europe, parts of Australia and other parts of the world.

The most accepted method for working the steering wheel is hand-over-hand because it moves more of the steering wheel, therefore, turning faster.

After completing the turn, you do not have to manipulate the steering wheel back; simply open your fingers (keeping your palms in contact with the steering wheel) and allow the steering wheel to spin back to the straight position. You may have to manipulate the steering wheel to bring it to the correct position, but that is often a minor correction.

Again, practice, practice, practice working the steering wheel for the purposes of a driving test.

If you're driving a manual transmission, move the steering wheel to a static position on the turn, hold with the hand that’s not shifting and then shift the gear.

Good luck on your road test!
