Too bad we are not allowed to discuss this here.

(Even my answer intended to only express my extreme liberal opinion that people should be allowed to do whatever they want to do as long as it doesn't harm others, already breaches the rules.)

Pedants: Steering, Brake, Gas
Even more pedantic: Newton's 1st (clutch), Acceleration, Acceleration, Acceleration.
 
Yes, it's a change of velocity vector (magnitude or direction) in time. So it's acceleration. Like in centripetal acceleration. That's why Newton's 1st law specifies that in the absence of an unbalanced force a mass will continue moving >in a straight line<.

Steering wheel is accelerator because mechanics shenanigans? Change of direction implies acceleration?
An object moving due North (that's a vector) has zero East-West velocity (also a vector). By turning the wheel the object's East-West velocity rises from zero. That's a vector acceleration.

I find mealy mouthed attempts at political correctness offensive.
I once had the following dialogue, and no, it is neither a joke although it sounds like it is nor is it phantasy. It happened. Protagonists: David (English), John (American), me. Location: Somewhere in the Basingstoke area.

David had said something funny.
Me: "David, that wasn't pc."
David: "Oh, that's an American invention. We don't have that here."
