Hundreds of road traffic accidents occur every year in Britain, and some of those result in a car accident compensation claim being made against the driver responsible.
Lack of observation, failure to signal, speeding, and drunk driving are all causes of collisions on the highways, but one reason which may sometimes be overlooked due to its lack of exposure in the media is incorrect steering technique.
Many motorists develop bad driving habits and how they steer their vehicle is one of the skills which can be affected.
Some road users may start using only one hand to steer, cross their hands over each other as they drive round a corner, or may even forgo their grip on the wheel altogether preferring instead to "palm" the controls with one hand.
People who drive in this way have significantly reduced command over their vehicle and this might result in them suffering a car accident, from which they could sustain serious personal injury or may even die.
Moreover, if they have passengers in the car they could also suffer as a result of the driver's poor steering technique, as could any other road users or pedestrians.
Motorists should keep both hands on the steering wheel at a good enough distance from each other so that at a moment's notice any part of the wheel can be reached.
This way, if they encounter an unexpected obstacle in the road and are unable to brake in time, they should be able to steer away successfully.
