If an emergency arise on the road from the driver, it is necessary to apply emergency maneuvering. It is very important here that the driver’s hands are properly located on the steering wheel. Try to imagine a steering wheel in the form of a dial, then for emergency maneuvering the location of the hands for 10 and 2 hours or for 9 and 3 hours is most suitable.
When turning to the left, the hands are shifted by 8 and 12, if you want to turn in the opposite direction, then by 12 and 4. Such provisions will be optimal for the detour of the obstacle and timely stabilization of the car with a loss of controllability, as well as the loss of stability of the vehicle. The side capture makes it possible to use several control techniques at once and makes it possible to hold the car on the arc (the trajectory can be adjusted by enhancing and weakening the thrust with your hands down and position on the side sector). Here you can regulate the steepness of the maneuver, which can increase the hand located by 12 hours. The side capture will help when aligning the trajectory of the car after a successful end in the turn (this is especially true with steep turns, then it is not always possible to immediately level the trajectory), because the hands on the side sector, replacing each other, perform the function of braking.
The main thing here is to hold the steering wheel tightly, otherwise a sharp absorption of the vehicle may occur. In the case, if the steering wheel generally breaks out of the hands, then in addition to everything, the precious time spent on the return of hands in the correct position on the steering wheel will be lost. If the skid happened, you should sharply turn the steering wheel in its direction by 90-180 degrees, while not changing the position of the hands. Sometimes you still have to change the position of the hands, controlling one by the left and right hand. Such actions must be performed with a large amplitude.
Some self -confident drivers like to hold their hands on the bottom of the steering wheel. It is not recommended to do this, because it is this position that will not give you the opportunity to apply maximum efforts in an emergency situation, and a precious time will change to change the position of the hands. The position is considered to be ideal when one hand is 4 or 8 hours (there is no big difference here, to whom it is convenient), and the second is 12, it is in this case that you will have the most chances to cope with almost any extreme situation.
