Empfohlene Lenkradhandhabung zum Autofahren von Oliver Rudolph, Instruktor Audi driving experience recommended steering technique by Oliver Rudolph, Instructor Audi driving experience
Hi Shawn, when my daughter did her driving test she was forced to change her steering to push pull... even she explained that she feels much safer with this technic... they didn't want to know anything about that... she had to do the push pull to pass the test... - some people stick being conservative and smallminded...
For me this is the proper way to do it. Natural, smooth and fast. Never having a doubt where the wheels are pointing. Unexpected skids usually just raise your eye brow, not turn your pants brown. Result - the evil airbag of doom will not deploy in the first place. Funny story - I tried to explain push-pull steering to an ADAC instructor and he thought I was joking.
One thing that I hate about the usual hand over hand technique is that you push the wheel first.. I also hate push pull technique because of pushing the wheel as the first procedure.. But these hand over hand with fixed hand technique got me convinced to use it because in the first procedure, two hands are already working in the wheel.. I just always find that pulling the wheel first feels better than pushing it first.. But with both hands doing the first move is the best..
Hello Natiele, thx for your comment. Steering should never be a pulling action only! you will achieve more precision if you push more rather than pull... Actually it is a sort of cooperation of both hands. The outside hand (eg. the right hand for a lefthander curve) on the steering wheel is pushing with around 70% while the inside hand supports with a 30% pulling action. Try it and you will fell much more under control... drive safe ;)
This a technique that you might use for low speed parking or manoeuvring in a car park because, at low speeds, an accident won't cause the deployment of the air bag. On the road, at normal driving speeds, you are best using the pull-push technique that ALL advanced driving instructors recommend. Most drivers I see use the rotational steering technique - demonstrated here - at all times. But that is because crossing your hands becomes a lazy habit. And, since nearly all cares have air bags, for reasons of safety it is best to re-learn pull-push if you have lost that habit. I know Oliver here is an instructor, but Audis are just cars like any other, apart from the powerfully magnetic front bumpers that draw them to within a a few feet of the rear of your car on the motorway.
Paul Duerinckx There are many ways to go to Rome... this is just one way. A recommendation for someone who wants and needs to be fast and at the same time precise with his steering... at any speed... not only parking ;) Try to worry less abour the airbag... I defenitely needed this steering technique more often to save situations than I saw airbags in my life...
Absolutely. In an emergency situation or on a track (in a road car that has more extensive lock than a purpose-designed track car). I just think that in general driving, Pull-push gives a driver more awareness of the movement of the car and the feedback from the wheels. I think that pull-push is a little counterintuitive which is why perhaps most drivers, once they've passed their test, revert to crossing their hands at the wheel as a matter of course. I do also know that many good drivers - of which you are, I'm sure, one - see pull-push as something from a bygone age when steering wheels were the size of ferris wheels and power assistance hadn't been invented.@@oliverrudolph
@@Drinckx2 I am comming from rallye sport and there it is vital to know in which direction the wheels are pointing when the car is unstable. This is the only way that allows me to know that... With pull-push you will never know it and so the driver will be a passanger only in this moment and not the pilot in control... And if you train this technique you will for sure be feeling better even in normal traffic situations and in any road conditions... And as I am a big fan of doing the same thing again and again I would never drive in two different ways with dìfferent handling habits. Doing one technique is the best way to increase the level of perfection and it becomes an automatism and a part of your every day driving with never ever thinking about it. Nice discussing with you Paul... if ever you would like to join us for a training, let me know it. We cover all levels...
True, but he has the best steering technique I've seen on youtube. Not that hand over hand crap or that hand feed hand, where your hands do start at 3 and 9 but are all over the place and when you realise it, you don't know where the steering is pointed. This is racing steering.
Absolutely terrible steering. I’m a young, 22 year old driver and even I say he’s completely wrong because he puts his forearms across the airbag every time he turns the steering wheel. The airbag is right in the middle of the steering wheel and if it ever comes out, during a turn, the way he’s turning...it would injure his arm badly. Arm across arm is never a skilled drivers action as well.
I see that you dont have a lot of experience and knowledge about skilled drivers action like you call it... hard with 22 years but steering like this is perfect to avoid seeing the airbag comming out! ;)
Oliver Rudolph maybe for an expert driver like yourself, but for average joe daily driving this is not the way. Should notify it on title if this is for performance driving.
