At what position should a beginner turn the car?

You can start turning the steering wheel when the vehicle's B-pillar reaches the stop line. The principle of turning after the B-pillar is that when you feel half of the car body has passed the stop line, you can make the turn. While turning, steer the wheel about half a turn. Pay attention to the following points when turning: Control the speed. Always slow down in advance when turning, as reduced speed helps lower centrifugal force and minimizes the risk of skidding or rolling. Avoid using brakes to slow down once in the turn, as braking can easily cause skidding and loss of vehicle control. Do not enter the turn in neutral (clutch depressed), as the engine cannot restrain the wheels in neutral, significantly reducing the effectiveness of braking and steering operations. When turning, turn on the turn signal in advance, check the rearview mirror, and ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians behind or to the side before turning. Pay special attention to blind spots in the turn. Beginners often focus only on what's directly ahead or to one side, neglecting blind spots, which can lead to hitting the curb or causing a scrape. When making a right turn, try to keep the turning radius small. Right turns sometimes intersect with straight-moving vehicles, such as at intersections. A smaller turning radius ensures you don't interfere with the normal flow of straight-moving traffic; otherwise, you may obstruct others. When making a left turn, aim for a larger turning radius. Sometimes, you may encounter competing traffic for the same lane. To avoid obstruction or collision hazards, try to turn into a farther point.
