What is the deal about Steering?

Consider it another Safe Driving Tip that will help you pass the road test.  

STEERING? 
Steer smoothly whether you are driving straight ahead, turning or backing up.

Looking back many years later, this was a serious story and I will never forget it as long as I live.  For 18 years I worked in Manhattan, so I took the D train from Burnside Avenue, in the Bronx to 47th-50th Street, Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.  I befriended a lady during our morning commute.  During one of our Monday morning rides we admitted to each other that we needed to get our driver’s license.  We both agreed on the fact that the driver’s manual was too complicated and not so easy to follow.  She laughed when she said, “girl listen!"  When she went to take the road test, and the test started, the examiner told her to go straight.  That was all she remembered.  She took off and before she knew it, the test was over! I said what happened?  She said, she was so nervous, she forgot what happened, but the examiner told her afterwards that she was all over the place, steering the car left, right and in the middle of a two lane street.  Obviously, she was not ready for the test.  As you can imagine we laughed like two crazy ladies, but the fact of the matter was she was driving dangerously and needed more lessons.  The times have changed and I don’t want the same thing to happen to you.  You probably can steer going straight, but how about backing up straight? Do you need more tips?
