To push pull or not?

There has been a lot written about the pros and cons of using the "push pull" technique of steering, not just for the driving test, but beyond. The DSA do NOT consider it a fault if the candidate does not demonstrate this technique during the driving test, or hold the wheel at ten to two or quarter to three. All they are concerned about is whether the pupil uses the steering wheel in a smooth, safe, controlled manner.

Having said that, just consider the disadvantages of crossing your hands when turning the steering wheel. What could happen if the airbag employs and you've got your hands covering it? What if you need to apply more turning? Very difficult if both hands are on one side of the steering wheel! 

Hope this helps? Helen :-)
