i can remember years ago driving down a winding country rd at 3am in thick fog doing 70mph, with no lights on. very stupid stunt then by a young wreckless idiot

The point of the 'feed through' or 'push pull' method of steering is not that it is any better than one way or another, it is just a standard way of teaching people as they learn to drive.

If done correctly it also means that you always have both hands on the wheel (unless changing gear etc.) and are then in full control at all times. You are told while learning that you are just brought up to a standard, how you drive after you pass your test is up to the individual. I guess some people either don't know they can do what they want, or are just comfortable as they are.

For me the 'arm over' is the way to go, or of course there is the 'left hand only leaning on the door' method which comes in a close second, but only if it's sunny and the window is open 

Jeez you must have a long left arm 

I used to be able to do both    I had left and right hand drive cars at the same time. 

Yeah, I checked he wasn't one of our LHD friends first 

My mate has a Mustang he imported from the US, catches me out every time I see him on the road and he has a passenger... "who the heck is that driving Craig's car!!!"...

It was a 6ft 4" GATE.............

(visions of a chopped off passenger......LOL!!)

whilst his passenger hung out of the window shooting blanks at a pursuing car.

Yeah, I cringe when I think back to the crazy things I've done in cars over the years.

Doesn't stop me though!   

The thing that worries me is will my son do the same when he's old enough to drive?  Mind you, petrol will probably be 10 times the price by then.

Its nearly that now, at the prices I used to buy petrol for when I first drove!!

i wrote off my first senator in birmingham in 1993, doing over a 100 in severe rain on the m42. if it wasnt raining i wouldnt of slid like i did and would of probably rolled over a dozen times and died. its only when you get older and realise how mental you really were.

I remember being able to fill my 2.3 Firenza to the brim for about £13-£14 (on pay day).

best steering - with your knees of course, how else do you hold your coffee and shave at the same time :-/

An ex-colleague of mine was stopped by the Police years ago doing a similar speed in similar conditions on the motorway.  Apparently they had been following him for miles before they got him to pull over and when they asked him why he took so long to stop, he said "I couldn't see a bloody thing for all this rain"

 

We still rip him about that yet!  He was really nuts in a car, would overtake on blind bends, blind summits, you name it.  And he wasn't a young lad which kinda makes it worse!

Surely you have to alternate between coffee and texting, no?

[Richie London]
