A steering wheel locking mechanism comprises an elongated bar. One end of the bar is positioned adjacent the center of the steering wheel. An arcuate boot having the same radius of curvature as the curvature of the steering wheel and the same cross sectional curvature as the curvature of the cross section of the steering wheel is mounted over an arcuate segment of the periphery of the steering wheel. The concave surface of the boot embraces the outer periphery of the steering wheel. The steering wheel has at least one spoke connecting the steering wheel shaft at the center of the steering wheel with the periphery of the steering wheel. A portion of the elongated bar lies over the spoke. A chain is welded to the bar and is wrapped around the spoke and is attached to the chain lock with the concave surface of the boot embracing the outer surface of the steering wheel. The length of the bar is such that the bar extends beyond the periphery of the steering wheel a distance such that if an attempt is made to turn the steering wheel with the steering wheel locking mechanism in place, the end of the bar remote from the steering wheel will engage a portion of the interior of the motor vehicle or the driver, thus preventing further rotation of the steering wheel and, hence, preventing steering of the motor vehicle.
