STEERING Meaning and Definition

  1. Steering is a noun that refers to the act, process, or mechanism of guiding or controlling the path or direction of a moving object, typically a vehicle. It involves the use of various devices or systems to influence the movement and trajectory of an object, allowing it to change course or maintain a desired path.

    In the context of automotive vehicles, steering is a fundamental component that enables the driver to dictate the direction in which the vehicle moves. It is generally achieved through the use of a steering wheel, which is connected to a steering column and a series of linkages or gears that transmit the driver's input to the wheels. By turning the steering wheel left or right, the driver can exert control over the vehicle's movement, allowing it to turn, maneuver, or navigate obstacles.

    Steering systems can vary depending on the type and complexity of the vehicle. Modern cars often utilize power steering, which employs hydraulic or electric assist to make steering easier and more responsive. Other vehicles, such as boats or aircraft, may have specialized steering mechanisms, like rudders or control surfaces, that are specifically designed for water or air navigation.

    Overall, steering plays a crucial role in maintaining control and ensuring the safe operation of moving objects. It allows for precise guidance and control, facilitating smooth turns, accurate navigation, and effective maneuvering.

  2. The act of directing a ship in its course by the helm.
