Cranking the Wheel

Do you ever do this? As you are driving and taking a sharp turn you turn the wheel as tight as it will go. When this happens I always think of my Dad. He explained on numerous occasions that it was not necessary to crank the wheel as far as it could go. That puts undo stress on the turning cables (or something like that). I've had many cars in my day and not one time has my steering wheel warn out. But every time I crank the wheel too far I am "fondly" reminded of Dad. It's a nice memory that brings a smile. It's great to be a big girl and make my own decisions about how to manage the steering wheel. I find my self teaching the same thing to Ashton and Dallin. The crank of the steering wheel has come full circle.

  1. Just you wait until your tires wear out!! Then you will lwish you had listened to your father.
    He told me the same thing when I was the one having to do the driving. I'd never heard that before.
