If your vehicle is equipped with airbags, you should use _________ to turn the steering wheel in most driving situations.

Explanation

Two commonly used techniques for turning the steering wheel are the hand-over-hand method and the push-pull (also known as the hand-to-hand) method. In push-pull steering, one hand pushes that side of the wheel up, and the other hand pulls the other side of the wheel down. Therefore, your hands never cross over the steering wheel as they do with hand-over-hand steering. If your hands are in front of the steering wheel at the moment the airbag deploys, it can push your hands into your face or even injure your hands. Still, hand-over-hand steering can be useful in recovering from a skid or parking your vehicle. Use one-hand steering only when you're forced to take one hand off the steering wheel to operate such controls as the headlights or windshield wipers.
