On most large aircraft steering is controlled by a 'tiller', a miniature steering wheel to the left of the captain (and the right of the FO in airbuses). The rudder pedals in these planes only activate a few degrees of nosewheel steering (if any at all), so you can't really steer well with them.

It is better to remain silent and be considered a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
