steering wheels

Circular driving grips

Steering wheels is the plural of steering wheel, the circular device a driver grips and rotates to control a vehicle's direction.

Most cars, trucks, and boats have one.

The steering wheel has become symbolic of control itself: Who's got the steering wheel on this project?

She took the steering wheel and drove us home.
