One major advantage of push/pull steering from the low-hand position is enhanced vehicle control because the arms stay close to the body and helps to maintain a more stable vertical body position.

The hands are always placed on the steering and if the person encounters any unexpected situation, the person can make an instantaneous counter maneuver. It is designed in such a way that the arms are not covering the airbag.It stops sudden input of steering to avoid any under-steer or over-steer situation. Thus push/pull steering gives enhanced control over the vehicle.
