In a nutshell the use of the push pull method is why I would never consider doing IAM/ROSPA stuff.

That's a depressingly blinkered attitude really.

For someone who claims to enjoy driving so much I would have thought you'd be more aware of different techniques or at least open to them.

Fixed input has its uses and is the technique I favour at speed on open, well sighted roads but it's useless on twisty stuff because it only allows up to
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
~180 degrees wheel movement either side of straight ahead, by which time your arms are crossed right over, you're starting to twist out of your seat and you are not in proper control of the vehicle.

Getting into that situation is fine on a track perhaps where you know you won't be required to apply any more lock but idiotic on the road.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
From that point you
have to![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
go to a different technique and from that situation Rotational steering is about the only option left until you have time to fundamentally readjust your grip on the wheel or straighten out.

FI is great for fast open roads as once learned the light grip gives better feedback and it also allows rapid countersteer because you instinctively know how much lock you have applied at any given moment.

That said, rally drivers tend not to use it because of the risk of kickback

From what I've seen of in-car footage they appear to use a rapidly changing mix of PP, Pull and rotational, but mostly Pull because they generally have to keep a firm grasp on the wheel to keep the car on course.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
FI is only sensible up to about 90 degrees turn of the wheel, by which time your hands are at 12 and 6 o'clock respectively.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
From then on you have to move to the PP method to apply more lock, indeed to most people it is instinctive, so to say you'd never do it is just plain silly.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I can only assume you don't know what PP actually is so are not aware you are using it; or you are just being deliberately provocative.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Fact is, eveybody on the road uses some sort of PP a lot of the time.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Just becaue they are not aware that is what it is or are not necessaily doing it correctly doesn't change that.
