Hi guys,

I'm having difficulty understanding how the steering wheel and the car works. I'm learning how to drive a car but it's so tough and difficult for me.


I just want to quickly pass my driving evalulation and book my driving test. But it seems to take forever and forever and I just couldn't pass my driving evalulation


Can you guys help me with this?



Example:


My car is not straight. The car body and all 4 wheels are slanting to the right.


So I turn my steering wheel fully to the left (2 rounds to the left)


When the car is straight, I stop turning my steering wheel to the left.


Now the car body is straight, but the front 2 wheels are pointing to the left.


Therefore, I turn back the steering wheel fully to the right ( 2 rounds to the right), to straighten back the front 2 wheels.



Here's where it gets CONFUSING for me.

At this point, when I turn back the steering wheel fully to the right ( 2 rounds to the right), to straighten back the front 2 wheels, wouldn't that cause the car body to turn to the right?

Meaning the car won't be straight, but will be slanting to the right again?




But during my driving lessons, if I straighten back the front 2 wheels, the car will be straight. The car body will not be slanting to the left/right.

Why is it so?

Can you guys help me with this? Thank you.
 
If you start with your wheels straight (don't worry about your car being straight) and turn the steering wheel two full revolutions to the left, the front wheels will be facing left. If you turn the wheel two full turns to the right, the wheels will be straight again. You have to turn the steering wheel two full revolutions to get the wheels pointing to the right and two more turns to the left to get the wheels facing straight again.

By the way, the front wheels will straighten out all by themselves when the car is moving if you relieve the grip on the steering wheel and let it slide through your hands no matter which way the wheels are facing.
 
^ It also helps to understand how the steering works. One thing to remember is that you never know which direction your wheels are pointed unless the car is moving. As a rule, cars want to go straight until you turn the steering wheel.
 
This is a deja vu thread for me.I can remember Jubbers saying the best way to learn is to get in the car and drive it.
 
^ I'm debating about explaining to him how to drive in reverse.
 
^ I remember that thread and he still seems to have the same problem. It appears that he is turning the steering wheel when the car isn't moving. In that case, inexperienced drivers will never know which way the wheels are turning. You simply cannot steer the car when the car isn't moving unless you're experienced enough to know in which direction the car is going to go when it begins moving.

Experience is the best teacher.

Parallel parking is a different matter entirely. Some people never learn how to do it.
 
I think you should give up trying to drive.
 
This seems like a more thought out, wordier telstra question.
 
It really doesn't matter what way the car LOOKS to be. It is the direction it travels that matters
I do think the OP is overthinking this

Cars, like computers, do a job for us. We don't need to knw how they do it, just that they do it

But you need to know enough of how they work to be able to properly tell them what to do.

Driving school that has cars with double steering wheels might help.Not sure if they are available

Where exactly does the driver sit? On the other hand, I don't think such a vehicle would be helpful to the OP. He's having enough trouble trying to figure out how to use one steering wheel, imagine his conundrum trying to use both wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!! But honestly he probably should take a driver training class, the instructor might be able to help him understand things. Or he can just forget about driving a vehicle. He's struggling this much over one of the most basic bits of driving, how will he fare when it comes to the rules of the road, right-of-way and the many other more complex concepts of motor vehicle operation???
 
^ From his posts, I believe he is concerned about which way the wheels are pointing when the car is stationary. Short of getting out of the car and looking, it is impossible to know if the wheels are pointing straight when the car isn't moving.

Unless you have one with one of the fancy gadgets I saw on TV (Top Gear, maybe) that actually showed on the dash which way the wheels were pointing.

Though I'm trying to figure out what he means by having all four wheels pointing somewhere -- most cars only turn two.
 
I think he is talking about all four wheels merely because he is not mechanical so assumes he needs to describe all four.

I'm glad he is getting so much help.

Travis, it is all intimidating when you don't have someone helping you learn by letting you drive a little in some remote parking lot or country road. If you can, get a friend or relative to help. If you can't, keep trying, but you really need that for the test to make sense to you.

Best of luck, kiddo.
 
Travis seems so cute with this....I hope he figures it out...I wish I was near him so I could help...
 
Cars have steering wheels? Where are they found, under the hood? I'm perplexed.
