When practicing driving at school, the first item we learned was to reverse the car into the garage. After the instructor asked us to dump the vehicle into the garage, we had to turn the steering wheel back to square. After graduating from driving school, everyone gradually developed such a habit, every time they stopped the car, they had to turn the steering wheel back to the right, and then turn off the car door and lock the door.
Many people don't really know why the steering wheel is back to the right, but the coach taught himself how to learn this way, so he will do it every time he stops. After parking, the steering wheel is reversed, in fact, in order to avoid the front wheel mainspin inclination angle is too large, affecting the driving performance of the car.
If you turn the steering wheel to a certain angle when parking, the car will be raised, and the steering lever of the car will be subjected to a lot of pressure and pressure. If the car is parked in one place for a long time and does not move, the steering rod will deviate due to the pressure for a long time. In the process of driving, the car tire will appear abnormal wear, aging speed is accelerated. Therefore, the driving school instructor asked us to turn the steering wheel back to the right after stopping, in fact, it is also to ensure the service life of the car.
Americans have been in contact with cars earlier than we do, and many people will repair the car by themselves, they should know more about the maintenance and maintenance of the car, but why do they not return to the steering wheel when they stop, and deliberately distort the steering wheel? After learning about the geographical environment of foreign countries and local traffic regulations, everyone finally understood that it was not that they wanted to distort the steering wheel, but that the local geographical environment and traffic laws required them to do so.
The terrain in the United States is relatively high, and many urban houses are built on the half slope, and the owner needs to park the car on the sloped road after returning home. If you turn the steering wheel back to the front, in case of a slip, the car will slip straight downhill. Crooked steering wheels will create some resistance, and the car will go downhill less quickly, which can reduce the occurrence of additional accidents.
In addition, there are many car owners in the United States who buy second-hand cars or a car that has not been replaced for many years, and the parts on these cars have long been aging. Park such a car on a downhill section, and even if the handbrake is pulled on, the vehicle may slowly slip down. The owner can only tilt the steering wheel to increase the friction of the tire, or pad a few bricks on the tire to prevent the car from slipping.
And parking on the half slope, it is not the owner who wants to tilt the steering wheel, and wants to turn the steering wheel back to the right. Many states in the United States have clear laws for parking on the half-slope, and when parking on the ramp or mountain road, you must turn the wheel to the side, otherwise you will be fined.
When the car stops in the uphill direction, the steering wheel is killed to the left. When stopping in the downhill direction, the steering wheel should be killed to the right. In general, which direction has road teeth, the steering wheel is killed in the opposite direction.
In fact, when parking, the steering wheel is crooked or the steering wheel is reversed, not because someone does not understand the car, but because it can minimize the risk of accidents. Foreign car owners also know that opening the steering wheel will cause wear and tear on the steering system and tires, but the parking environment requires them to do so, and they have no way.
The domestic driving environment is relatively flat, the roads in the city are flat, the owner only needs to put the steering wheel back to the right when parking, if it is to a place like the mountain city of Chongqing, you must pay attention to the steering wheel when parking, otherwise it may also happen to slip.
