Hand-Over-Hand Steering<br />
Use hand-over-hand steering when steering movements are critical, such<br />
as when (a) parking, (b) performing sharp right turns, and (c) for skid<br />
correction. Use quick movements on entry to the maneuver, and then use<br />
slow, smooth movements when straightening the wheel. Steering errors are<br />
directly related to vision errors.<br />
One-Hand Steering<br />
Use one-hand steering for backing maneuvers that do not require full left<br />
or right turns.<br />
Speed Control<br />
Speed control techniques are used to make smooth starts, stops, and turns.<br />
These techniques increase comfort in the vehicle as well as fuel effi ciency.<br />
They also keep the vehicle balanced, which increases the controllability<br />
of the vehicle and decreases risk to yourself and others. Cruise control is not<br />
recommended for the beginning driver.<br />
Make sure your teen learns, practices, and can demonstrate the following<br />
acceleration and braking techniques:<br />
Light Acceleration<br />
Light acceleration is light pressure on the gas pedal.<br />
It is used to (a) make smooth starts and (b) begin<br />
turns that require a stop.<br />
