When learning at the driving school, the instructor will tell the students to return the steering wheel to the right after parking, and many students have developed this good habit after graduating from the driving school, and after parking, they will definitely turn the steering wheel back to the front and then turn off the engine. Some car owners travel abroad and find that people in Europe and the United States parking is very characteristic, they not only do not return the steering wheel, but also deliberately crooked, why is this?
Hazards of the steering wheel not returning to normal after parking:
If the steering wheel is not back to normal after the vehicle is parked, the wheels will also be deflected in one direction, which will cause the steering wheel system to be overly stressed and the service life will be shortened. After parking for a long time do not put the steering wheel back to the right, we will find that the steering wheel is becoming more and more insensitive, the accuracy is not high, sometimes the owner has played a circle of steering wheel, but the degree of wheel rotation is biased.
Why do foreigners deliberately turn the steering wheel off after parking the car? Don't they understand that this practice hurts the car? Foreigners also know that this will affect the function of the wheels and steering wheels, but they have to do it. The owner of the car parked the car on the slope of the road, if the steering wheel is not crooked, the handbrake does not work the vehicle is likely to slide down the slope and cause the car to slip.
Many foreign car owners are driving classic cars that are more than ten years or even more than 20 years old, and the handbrakes of these vehicles have long been difficult to use. When parking the car on the downhill section, even if the handbrake vehicle is pulled, it may slip downhill, so the owner will deliberately tilt the steering wheel. After the steering wheel is crooked, the wheels will tilt to one side, and the vehicle will not easily slide down the slope.
Foreigners also know that doing so can damage the function of the steering wheel and cause serious wear on the wheels, but foreigners don't care much about these. Many foreigners buy second-hand cars, used cars have a lot of problems, these second-hand cars are cheap, broken can also be repaired, repair is not good to change a new used car. Foreigners and Chinese have different concepts of car buying and car maintenance, resulting in differences in car habits.
Advantages of steering wheel back positive:
Chinese parking is not very regular, after parking the car will be the steering wheel back to the right, the steering wheel and the car rotation will not increase the pressure, even if the car is parked on the slope surface is no problem. Aren't Chinese afraid of slipping away when the vehicle is parked on the slope? There is a project in China's annual inspection that specifically checks the handbrake of the car, and the vehicle with the handbrake problem cannot be on the road at all, so the handbrake of most cars on the road has no problem.
Chinese after buying a car, they cherish the car very much, and few owners will park the car on the slope for a long time, and everyone is worried about the car's braking system, braking system, and wheel damage, and will try to park the car in a flat and open place. Parking on flat ground is completely unnecessary to tilt the steering wheel, China's parking space is not spacious, and a crooked steering wheel will affect the parking of vehicles on the left and right sides.
Editor's Comments:
The national conditions of each country are different, the road conditions are different, and the car owners' car habits will also have a large deviation. Foreigners like to tilt the steering wheel when parking, because in order to prevent slipping when parking on the ramp, foreigners will also turn the steering wheel back to the right when parking on the flat ground. Most Chinese car owners have developed good driving and parking habits, and everyone just needs to continue to maintain it.
