Shuffle Steering: Still A Useful Technique?

- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2020
- Most modern drivers use the 9-and-3 steering position and a hand over hand technique when more steering angle is required. This is a great technique and has gained popularity for a number of good reasons, but the old-school "shuffling the wheel" technique perhaps shouldn't be fully discounted.
Shuffling the wheel is simply the method of keeping your hands relatively at 9 and 3, and passing the steering wheel between them to accomplish large steering inputs. While this is not the recommended technique for high speed driving, it accomplishes one very valuable thing: the driver keeps both hands on the wheel in a good position 100% of the time, which is hugely useful for maintaining positive control of the vehicle in less-than-perfect scenarios.
This is the main reason that shuffling the wheel is taught for off-road driving, buy experts around the world and here at Team O'Neil. the driver always keeps both hands on the wheel as the vehicle travels over and through rough terrain and obstacles that exert strong side forces on the front tires.
It is the same reason that LEO and MIL drivers use the shuffling technique, to maintain solid control of the vehicle over potentially rough terrain and small collisions with obstacles and other vehicles during offensive driving and pursuit scenarios.
An added benefit of shuffling the wheel is that the driver's hands and arms stay away from the path of a potential airbag deployment should they get into an accident or other tactical / pursuit driving scenario.

Lol, when going for your drivers licence in the Netherlands, You MUST use this type of steering or you fail your exam
i imagine shuffle sterring might have been something useful in low speed no-servo driving
I use this technique for drifting. This is the best way to control the steering mid drift. Crossing your hands drifting is a no no.
As a firefighter we’re taught shuffle steering for high speed driving as it gives greater control and to keep our thumbs out of the inside of the steering wheel 👍🏻
I have been shuffle-steering since 1991, almost at the same time I learned how to drive. it has become a second nature. Friends call it "dish-washing steering". others thank me for the smoothest rides they ever had in their life.
I recall car throttle mocking this technique as bad driving. Its something I picked up naturally learning how to drive quickly while being smooth. Allows for smooth even inputs through corners with decreasing radius's etc
I've never heard of this technique before, interesting
Finally i found the way to do this, its used in drifting most of the time, I saw rally drivers turning the steering wheel with one hand in sharp corners in first gear, this thing is useful i want to practice
pfff, everyone knows correct hand position is left wrist at 12 o'clock, right hand on the gear lever, beside your beer. thats how you get the most height when you jumpy your car :)
I been practicing this, trying to lose the fear of not taking my hands of the steering wheel. I also practice left foot braking/threshold breathing. Thanks you for all you content.
Woah something I do when driving that team O'Neil doesn't hate 😂
Adding something in case someone doesn't know, shuffle steering is possible for road cars but not really for race cars as the steering lock is tight and you don't turn the wheel that much.
I learned shuffle steering in EVOC years ago, then really started using it all the time after hearing Bobby Ore give it praises (in fact he said he won't train anybody until they master this first). However, when racing, especially in anything with a smaller steering wheel, you literally can not steer as fast with the shuffle. I nearly ran my RZR off the track trying it. Putting it on a stop watch, I could go full lock out right to full lock out left significantly faster using hand over hand. I considered myself a good test subject since I used ONLY shuffle steering for over 10 years, truly believing it was superior.
I use it for dritting. I feel so confy with it. It lets me countersteer all the way as fast as i want
My police officer relatives mentioned during their driver training this technique is of priority for safety in airbag equipped vehicles. They were told of one member in a hard accident with his arms crossed over, injuries sustained were far more severe than they otherwise would have been due die airbag inflation.
Now I realise how much I have adopted this type of steering watching you doing it . Always in revere when park and at almost all situations
driving instructors always teach feeding the wheel which is what its called in england but tbh i kinda hate it, i use it occasionally but its such an awkward and slow way to steer
Make more videos on tactical driving. Skills that would be helpful in defensive situations.
I've been in a car crash once, caused by someone asking the driver why he would shuffle or not. Driver started focussing on that and thats how we knocked down 3 walls.
