<p>Vehicle and method of steering such a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a steering wheel and steerable driving wheels and a transfer system for converting steering wheel actions to a steering angle of the steerable driving wheels, and wherein the transfer system is provided with a predefined stiffness value that determines said transfer system's transfer characteristic pertaining to a required amount of torque that is required in turning the steering wheel to effect a desired steering angle of the steerable driving wheels. In this vehicle and method of steering this vehicle, an area in front of the vehicle is monitored for detecting objects that the vehicle may hit when it continues its current path of movement. Depending on the detection of any such object the stiffness value of the transfer system is reduced so as to ease turning the steering wheel for effecting the desired steering angle of the steerable driving wheels.</p>
