Hand over hand: This method allows you to turn the steering wheel within a short span of time. It’s best when the driver is expecting a sharp turn. While keeping your hands in the standard position, start turning the steering wheel in the direction you want to turn your car until one of your hands is on the opposite side. At this point, release the hand that ended up at the bottom and move it to the 12 o’clock position. Continue turning the wheel if necessary. After turning, loosen the grip. The steering wheel will return to its original position.

Example: When turning right, position your hands at “9 and 3.” As you turn the steering wheel to the right, wait until your left hand reaches the 2 to 3 o’clock position. After that, move the right hand, which is at the bottom now, to the 12 o’clock position and continue turning the wheel if necessary.
