The
higher the speed, the less the steering wheel needs to be turned in order to
get around the curve.
On
the contrary, in sharp turns (90 and more degrees), especially at speeds
under 25 km/h, you may need to steer using “hand-over-hand” technique
for fast full turn: for example, when steering left, push the wheel
upwards-left-and-down with the right hand as far as you can do so
comfortably; while doing so, move the left hand over the right hand gripping
a higher section of the wheel and pull the wheel left-and-down with the left
hand; grab the bottom of the wheel with the right hand and push it
upwards-left-and-down, and so on.
Brisk
“hand-over-hand” steering is the only technique that can help you in
skidding.
But
avoid crossing arms or you may find the hands fumbling on the wheel, not
being able to take quick evasive action, if needed. Compare the pictures
below.
