Struggling to Steer? Staying Centred for Beginners

Many learner drivers struggle with keeping the car centered and steering around bends when they start driving. In this video you can see how I help Emily get better at steering in a safe and relaxed way.

    I passed today with only 2 minors. I’m just making the rounds to my favourite driving channels to say thank you so much for the help. My instructor was brilliant and taught me well and these KZread channels helped me learn between lessons. So, again, a BIG THANK YOU. Conquer Driving helped me big time with clutch control, gears and steering. You were a big help during the first month of my driving lessons and the mock tests you did were soooo helpful in preparing myself for the real test.

    I think Emily is doing fantastically during these lessons. Also, whether she realises it or not, being recorded and it being posted online for thousands of people to see is just going to make things harder no matter what. I think she shouldn't be so harsh on herself or compare her abilities to anyone else!

    Like Emily I struggled with steering early on in my lessons; in fact my instructor told me that out of the hundreds of people he'd taught I was BY FAR the worst case he'd ever seen! 🙈 But with a few more lessons (and a small amount of private practice with my partner on weekends) I gradually improved. I passed my test (first time with no minors 🥳) last November and been driving for 9 months now; I still have to pay attention to my lane discipline as it seems that my brain is sometimes trying to sabotage me (I suspect I might have a form of dyspraxia although I've never been formally diagnosed) but with experience I continue to get better at it and I certainly feel I'm a safe driver. ☺️ So Emily, keep practising and I promise soon you will have forgotten all about any issues with steering! Onwards and upwards, you're doing great! 🙌🏻

    I am 45 and I passed my manual practical test 2 days ago at first go. I had been watching your vids a lot and they helped massively. I also had a very calm and patient instructor. Interestingly, what helped me the most to overcome the initial anxiety was my passion for sim racing, both rally and GT3. My muscle memory for gear changes, steering, mirror checks, etc was all in place and ready. I remember you had a vid on City Car Driving and I used that game as well. Also Euro Truck Simulator. All of this together made for an easy pass. All the best. Lukas

But this one's going to be short and it's just a big thank you, both to Richard and, maybe even more, to Emily. It's really brave to let so many strangers watch one struggle one's way through something that they learn for the first time, and so generous to take that additional stress and distraction. It's very much appreciated! Also, congratulations on the visible progress that was made in the course of just that one lesson!

    What an instructor you are Richard! Emily was terrified as she said it but then was asking you if she could show off her right turns. The look for gaps technique will prove a big help to me hopefully, as I’m always swaying, I’ll use this on my lesson tomorrow. The ability you have to make a learner feel so comfortable is also brilliant as the communication Emily has with you is fantastic which will prove a big help in future lessons as she will feel a lot more comfortable and confident. My previous instructor did not talk to me ever and made me feel tense and anxious at times. Also, I like the way you don’t intervene all the time for instance, telling Emily she’s about to hit the curb instead of straight up grabbing the wheel. Keep up the good work! 😊

    Subcribed to the channel ! Emily is an amazing student - with the right tutors, she can learn brain surgery! What I think is so great is that she has little trouble voicing her thoughts and feelings, for example the final point about her best friend and how she already feels significantly behind him. This is great for her as it makes Richard's job easier as he can avoid the guess work and dive straight in with his teaching. But it is even better for any learner driver watching this who may experience the same concerns/anxieties/pressures and find it difficult to voice them. Her progress from Lesson 1 to Passing will be a great series and I look forward to it! Keep at it Emily!

    I enjoyed this video wayyy more than I expected! This was so fun! I got my license a few weeks back. We have lower standards for passing the test where I live, and the driving school also teaches you very little. That translates to like 30 classes total, but it's just a maximum of 10 minutes each. So I'm continuing to watch your videos to make sure my basics are solid. I've already driven some hundreds of kilometres.. 😁 and watching videos like these gives me a confidence boost thinking how much I've grown. I still have many weak points, like changing gear right when I'm turning. ( I have an old car with more stringent gear changing requirements.) My major weak point that I've noticed on my own is when I get on to a highway from the opposite side (and I have to cross one lane to get to my lane) my car wobbles, sort of, indecisively, before planting myself on the left-most side of the track to gain speed. (Right handed drive here btw. ) I'm always afraid I'll trouble the person coming on from behind. I guess I should just wait longer for a more clearer road before taking off. But that's really impractical in the busy roads of India. 43:35 "My amazing right turns!" lolol so kawaii! Haha.. Awesome video.. I guess my longer comment is proportional to the longer video. (that I never thought I'd watch the whole length.) Cheers!

Helps me a lot but I am learning in a Citroen so it probably differs, but I'm on my 15th hour and I don't even really have to think of how to turn anymore it comes very naturally to me now, it does take time to get used to though like u have said and it gets easier and easier each time

    I was so fortunate that i had lots of "unofficial" driving experience (large private car park, only car there) before i had my lessons, so i really hit the ground running with "control". I really don't think I'd have done anywhere near as well as Emily is doing here, so early on in her journey. (I still took a full course of lessons before taking my test... And failed the first one!). Passed in 2000, touch wood no accidents, incidents or claims! I watch these videos to help me help family members to learn before their lessons, and to remind me of potential bad habits I may have developed!

    I had my first lesson this morning in central London (automatic) and had to drive very busy roads with junctions and turns and bin trucks and pedestrians running over the road and while it went really well I can't help but get jealous looking at these lovely empty roads with so much space in these videos :D I hope it's right what they say, that learning to drive in London means you can drive anywhere.

    I've just had my third driving lesson so am at the same stage of learning as Emily. It's super interesting to see the things we've both had difficulty with. Also, really like your advice on aiming points for steering. This makes a lot of sense and I'm going to apply it in my future lessons. Please keep up these videos with Emily!

    What I like about this instructor that I don't find with other ones is the little details that I don't get from others. For example the width of the car is the steering wheel.. Put your bum in the middle, don't look close, look further ahead etc. Little details like this I pick up which I really like. You are a great instructor. I would love to do some lessons with you

    When my wife had her first lesson, she was unable to steer but the instructor (a trainee) didn't teach her how to steer. He took her into a busy area and used the dual controls to drive the car. My wife came back a bag of nerves. Needless to say, I had words with him and that was the last lesson with him. His answer was "she needs to learn to steer before she can do anything else". Your instruction with Emily was first class. By the way, I watch other driving videos but yours are the best.

    I passed my test 15 years ago but now I am driving a larger vehicle from my wheelchair which is fitted with spacedrive controls and I feel like I have regressed somewhat as I am not fully comfortable driving without a steering wheel. However these videos are still really helpful, but I feel Emily's "pain" as it is scary and an intimidating process for many. She's doing great and I love how you teach. Personally I would be interested in seeing some driving session/lessons with adapted vehicles and disabled drivers as well, I've found there to be a gap in the market with limited driving instructors qualified in this field and many struggle with instructor availability, myself included.

    I'm on my 5th lesson I think and was struggling with my steering crossing my arms so I've been working on that and round abouts (I am doing automatic now not manual due to disability) So that's how I'm at the point of doing roundabouts and main roads now. But this helped with turning as I sometimes would steer too late and have to swing the car round. My driving instructor Jamie craddock Highley reccomended this channel to watch to recap on things I've done each lesson otherwise I get better with one thing then go backwards with something else that I previously was progressing with.

    Thanks Richard. I am a PDI and started yesterday. I was so nervous on my first lesson. I watched the first lesson with Emily the night before and kinda copied 😊 on my teaching. Both of my students were happy. Real life teaching is not easy to find on KZread I mean good quality ones. Now I am watching this video for my next lessons. Thanks a ton for being brave and helping us. Kudos to Emily as well.

    She's doing just fine, she's definitely "getting" it. I hope she sticks at it. She takes it seriously in terms of being safe and that's very good. I think she'll end up being a good driver.

    Hey Richard, I know you get a lot of these sorts of comments but honestly your videos have been so instrumental in helping me to pass my driving test first time! My instructor was OK, but at times failed to fully explain how to do things correctly in a way that I could understand. Your videos were perfect to fall back on to help me understand things like pulling off safely and when to change gears etc. Thanks again!

    My driving instructor in germany wasn't nearly as good . At my first lesson he asked me if i could drive. I said that i can drive a little bit And he took me on a 40km ride at night to the nearest City. Never explained anything about the car because i was learning in a Workshop so i knew the most things. But i passed first try at my test and your videos helped a lot even if they weren't ment for the german roads.👌

    Hi Richard. I am a new resident from abroad and I have never driven in the Uk before and my experience has been driving in India only. I initially found driving here to be very difficult and the instructors have been not teaching the right thing. I had started watching your videos on driving test. And I practiced on my own with my international driving license and I am glad to inform that I had passed driving test yesterday despite being in heavy Wolverhampton traffic with just 4 minors. I would not have passed it otherwise. I would still continue to watch your videos and would recommend my friends to watch it as well. Keep up the good work! Cheers mate!

    I remember my instructor used to say that the car will go where you're looking, so if you're looking forward and trying to turn a corner, you'll take the corner more widely. I passed my test first time but it was after a long time as a learner and it would have been amazing to have had resources such as your channel - though KZread wasn't even a thing at the time!
