What is an inside handle?

I used to drive with an inside steering wheel, even though I talked a lot about the driving position. What is an inside steering wheel?

The inside handle is one of the techniques to operate a steering wheel of a car. It is a technique of turning a steering wheel with the opposite hand. It is also called "reverse steering wheel. In the days when power steering was not available, this technique was used when it was necessary to exert force to turn the steering wheel.

Adapted from Wikipedia, "The Inner Climbing Handle."

So many people used to do inside handlebars because the handlebars were heavier in the past. Thinking about it, both of my parents used to turn intersections with inside handlebars. It is true that it was easy to turn the steering wheel, and when I saw it as a child, I even thought it looked cool because it seemed like they were used to driving.

That's how I left the inside handle.I've been trying to get my AT license removed before.When I went to the driving school again.

When making a turn at an intersection, I was turning with the inside handle as is my usual habit, and the examiner told me this.

'This is a test to unlock the automatic transmission.No points will be deducted for the inside handle.But this driving is dangerous andI can't react on the spur of the moment.Definitely something to improve on in the future."And.

The tone of the examiner's voice was so calm and truthful that it scared me at once, and I have not done inside handle since then. Why is the inside handle dangerous?

Why is the "inside handle" dangerous?

There are apparently three major reasons.

(1) Inability to steer quickly when the situation calls for it

Driving is usually fine when there is nothing going on, but when someone suddenly jumps out or something happens, it is impossible to turn the wheel quickly.(Just to be clear, in the case of the PorscheIn a moment of crisis, instead of turning the wheel backHe recommends stopping by stepping on the brake as hard as you can.(He said that Porsche brakes well and that it is definitely safer.)

(2) Airbag opening during an inside hangover steering wheel can cause serious injury.

Indeed, if the airbag opens with the hands crossed in front of the chest, the arms can strike the chest. The airbag, which is supposed to function safely, can in fact cause serious injury.

Wikipedia.

The automobile company states that an inside steering wheel delays operation and increases the likelihood of serious injury if the airbag inflates while the steering wheel is turned backwards during a collision.

It was written.

(iii) Increased risk of involving the inner circle.

While inside handlebars are easy to steer, they are also prone to oversteer. Especially in the case of large vehicles such as the Panamera, it is necessary to consider the difference between the inside wheels and make a wide turn, but with an inside handle, there is an increased risk that the vehicle will ride up or rub the inside tires and wheels if the handle is turned too far.

I see...

In the event of an emergency, the steering wheel cannot be swerved correctly.There is a possibility of serious injury.It would damage the tires and wheels of my precious car, andI can't even enjoy the driving of the car as it should be.

There is not a single benefit to driving with an inside handle knowing that there is such a risk. When I got my license when I was 18 years old, I am sure the examiner would have told me this, but there are many things you don't understand until you actually experience them or get older.

After all, safe driving comes first.
