If you are turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary can cause unnecessary wear to the tyres and steering mechanism. This is known as ‘dry’ steering.

Shaking steering wheel whilst vehicle is stationary is a method used by enforcement licence officers during roadside inspections to check for steering box leaks.

Can I refuse to this method of inspection?
