Hand position on wheel and driver's character Hand position on wheel and driver's character

What can you tell about the driver just by looking at how he holds the steering wheel and what the wrong grips threaten. And also - how can your life and the life of your passengers depend on your usual way of control? Are you a brave or indecisive person? Are you willing to compromise or not? Not only your friends can tell about this, but also your hands. More precisely, how you hold the steering wheel with them. And in an emergency, your life may depend on it.

To properly hold the steering wheel, you must imagine. Imagine that the steering wheel is the clock face, dividing it from 1 to 12. Then the correct position of the left hand is the sector from nine to ten o'clock. Right - from two to three hours. In this case, the arms should be kept straight, the hands should be below the shoulders, and the elbows should be lowered down. The grip should be strong, but the arm muscles should be relaxed. Professionals recommend two types of grips - open and closed.

A driving school instructor and a psychologist talk about the differences in the position of the hands on the steering wheel in terms of safety and psychology.

PSYCHOLOGIST: This position of the hands on the steering wheel is typical for insecure and shy people. Most likely the person is not decisive enough, timid.

INSTRUCTOR: Handlebar grip is not allowed. Due to the fact that the hands are in the wrong position, the driver will not be able to make a turn. In fact, he voluntarily "ties" his hands, they get tired of such a situation. Getting around the barrier in this case is problematic.

PSYCHOLOG: This is how a powerful person who likes to dominate leads. He is not inclined to compromise. He will also most likely react aggressively to the situation on the road.

INSTRUCTOR: This position can lead to loss of concentration. In fact, the driver rests on the steering wheel, or "hung" on it. Also, hands obscure the instrument panel and can become an obstacle when opening the airbag. This is an old steering grip that was used on cars without electric and hydraulic boosters.


PSYCHOLOGIST:
So a trained and self-confident person sits behind the wheel. He is energetic, open to the world, and sees well everything that is happening around. Most likely this person likes to drive a car.

INSTRUCTOR: Forced grip because forced to shift gears. It is quite difficult to drive a car quickly with one hand, which leads to fatigue. When driving around an obstacle to the left - a small amplitude of movement of the steering wheel. If the driver is fast and attentive, he may be lucky, but it is better to use both hands.

PSYCHOLOGIST: A person who holds the steering wheel like that is practical and self-confident. He knows how and what to do.

INSTRUCTOR: If the driver is tired, this is the rest position. But the steering wheel should not serve as a support for the hands. Left hand will not be able to apply the correct force and will slow down the movement of the driver on the turn. He simply will not be able to quickly respond to changing traffic conditions.

PSYCHOLOGIST: The driver is a reasonable and rational person. He is open in communication, you can rely on him. At the same time, this type of person is characterized by changes in mood, desires and preferences.

INSTRUCTOR: Another grip that should not be recommended. Hands from this position are very difficult to turn the steering wheel. This leads to an incorrect trajectory of entering a turn both during a normal maneuver and in a critical situation on the road.

PSYCHOLOGIST: So an organized person is driving, who is in complete control of his own and does not take risks.

INSTRUCTOR: Modern correct grip of the steering wheel for cars. From this position, you can make almost all the maneuvers, quickly respond in a critical situation. It will also help you know the exact location of the wheels on the road. Hands do not interfere with the deployment of the airbag and the control of the instrument panel.
