A hierarchy of strategies were postulated to describe the process of learning steering control. Vehicle motion and steering control data were recorded for twelve novices who drove an instrumented car twice a week during and after a driver training course. Driver describing functions were calculated. The data suggested that the largest changes in steering control with learning were in the way the driver used the lateral position cue.
