Back in the day, before power steering was commonplace, vehicles had bigger steering wheels to improve the mechanical advantage.

So, if you had a vehicle where it was difficult or impossible to switch to a manual steering box, you could get some of the same effect by just installing a bigger diameter steering wheel.

This has some obvious down sides, like steering wheels with switches and gizmos integrated, and less room for your legs and stuff.

But, it would work.

Please carry on.
