Hello, i just want to know how to say "volantear" in English.

When someone said volante they usually imagine a advertising brochure but we also named volante to the Handle of an automobile. And we tell volantear to the abrupt movement of the handle.

Please use "want to " no "wannas' please. - ray76, Jul 26, 2017

Answer 1

En inglés no hay tal verbo. Es necesario usar una "frase verbal"

Turn the steering wheel quickly or rapidly.

Answer 3

Is swerve close or is "volantear" not quite as drastic?

I think if it refers to an automobile. - NKM1974, Jul 27, 2017

Answer 4

No creo que exista una palabra inglesa que expresa "volantear", como lo explica Alma. Faltara decir algo como "to drive crazily", o "to careen about".
