Why is push pull steering better?

• A. It keeps you in the lane
• B. It reduces the chance of hitting yourself if the airbag were to go off
• C. It is easier for novice drivers
• D. It avoids using turn signals

Answer: (B)

Push-pull steering keeps your hands on the wheel in a stable, ready-to-turn position, which gives you smooth, controlled steering without crossing your arms. This hand position is especially important if an airbag deploys, because the force of the bag can push the wheel toward your face or pin your arms in an unsafe way. By using push-pull, your hands stay in a safer area and you’re less likely to hit yourself as the wheel moves. So this technique directly reduces the chance of injury from an airbag deployment. Other aspects like simply staying in the lane or how easy it is for novices aren’t what push-pull primarily improves, and turn signals aren’t related to the steering method itself.
