Utility of a car lies in the fact that it takes you where you want to go. This is possible because every car has a steering system. At one end of the system is a steering wheel and at the other two front wheels. The driver of the car gives a command to the steering wheel, the steering system transmits it to the two front wheels. That is how the car moves in the direction you want it to take.
There are mechanical devices which carry the command from the steering wheel to the front wheels. It needs some power to change the direction of the wheel. That power is manually provided by the driver through the steering wheel. This could be tiring during long runs. To make it easy for the driver there are power operated steering systems. It reduces the effort required of the driver. Nowadays, instead of mechanical devices there are computer controlled electronic steering systems. Whatever be the system the role and importance of the steering wheel remains the same. It has to be emphasized that safety in driving depends a lot on steering.
A driver has to remain alert while driving. The driver has to carefully watch the traffic that goes ahead of him as also that follows. He has to negotiate through all this traffic by manipulating the steering wheel. This could be quite taxing. Therefore, every effort needs to be made to make it as easy for him as possible.
First of all his seat has to be comfortable. The height of the steering wheel has to be so adjusted that he has a clear view of the road in front, and he does not find it strenuous to operate the steering wheel. Distance between the seat and the floor has to be such that it causes least strain to the driver when he has to operate gadgets like brakes, clutches on the floor.
You can now get a custom steering wheel that has the custom size, look and feel. Just like other car aftermarket products such as custom body kits, this helps you to personalize your car.
