Was reading about steering technique. There are multiple sites recommending "Shuffle" technique over the "Hand-over-Hand" technique. Reason: If you are turning with your arms crossed, and if your car hits a curb or deep pothole with your thumbs are wrapped around the inside of the wheel, they can be broken due to the resulting violent rotation of the wheel, since the wheel's spokes can break your bones. Also, if an airbag deploys when your arms or hands are in close proximity, you could suffer severe injuries that might include broken bones. Use of Shuffle technique ensure that your arms never get in the way of a deploying airbag. Here is one of them... http://www.koniaris.com/auto/steering/ I use combination of shuffle and hand-over-hand. When making U-turn, I end up using Hand-over-Hand. When making 90 degree turn, I use Shuffle. Do anyone of you guys/gals use "Shuffle" technique consistently, and find it accurate and fast enough when making U-turns?
