Be more careful when palming the steering wheel?

The feeding the wheel technique has (at long last) been recognised for what it is - an out-dated, unsafe and not very smooth method. Obviously palming is best used for manoeuvring and not necessarily the best technique when traveling at speed - but a professional or advanced driver would know this anyway.

Sorry Dave, but with respect, I have to disagree with you on this one. I’ve always fed the wheel since passing my driving test in 1968. Later reinforced by police advanced driver training. If done correctly with both hands in the appropriate positions it can be done smoothly. When feeding the wheel correctly there should always be at least one hand actually holding the wheel so that the wheel cannot “get away from you”. If, when palming, for some reason the steered wheels are moved by some outside force, eg tramlining or a rut or a stone or other object on the road surface, the steering wheel can then move to follow as you don’t have full control of it.

That was errrr 34 years ago and i've also passed other driving tests for other vehicles since, one of which i was actively instructed not to feed the wheel! Theory behind that is if you get it slightly wrong, you can be left with no hands on the wheel at all!

When I started back in ‘68 PAS was not fitted to many cars and certainly none which I had access to. Accepted about manoeuvring at low speed. Have to admit I’ve mainly witnessed garage staff doing it and the other hand is often holding a drink or over the back of the passenger seat. This reminds me of gardening. Different people do certain things in a different way but still achieve the same result.
