As we hit the roads, safety should always be our top priority. 


One crucial aspect of safe driving often overlooked is proper steering wheel handling.


 Taita Tyres shares essential steering wheel safety tips to ensure a smooth and secure driving experience.


*4 Steering Wheel Mistakes to Avoid*


1. *Don't Drive with One Hand*


Driving with one hand can lead to loss of control, especially during sudden turns or unexpected events. Keep both hands on the wheel, with your hands positioned at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock.


1. *Avoid Using the Heel of Your Palm*


Using the heel of your palm to turn the wheel can cause your hand to slip, leading to accidents. Instead, grip the wheel firmly with your fingers.


1. *Don't Hook Your Hand Through the Wheel*


Hooking your hand through the steering wheel can lead to serious injury in case of airbag deployment. Keep your hands and arms clear of the wheel's center.


1. *Don't Rest Your Arm on the Gearstick*


Resting your arm on the gearstick can obstruct your ability to shift gears smoothly and react to emergencies.


*Additional Safety Tips*


- Maintain proper hand positioning (9 o'clock and 3 o'clock)

- Avoid distractions while driving (e.g., using your phone)

- Keep your eyes on the road and stay alert

- Regularly check your vehicle's tire pressure and condition
