At what position should the steering wheel be turned when making a U-turn?
1 Answers
Turn the steering wheel when more than half of the vehicle body has passed during the U-turn. Below are the precautions to take when making a U-turn: 1. Decelerate before shifting gears: Before making a U-turn, the vehicle is usually moving relatively fast, around 30-40 km/h. After completing the light operation, first apply the brake to reduce speed, then press the clutch and downshift. 2. Check the rearview mirror to ensure surrounding conditions: To ensure a smooth U-turn, always check the rearview mirror to confirm safety behind before proceeding. Then look forward; if there are vehicles going straight, let them pass first. If there are no special circumstances, you can proceed with the U-turn. 3. Avoid turning left too early: Although a U-turn requires turning the steering wheel fully to the left, remember not to start turning left too soon. The earlier you start turning, the more difficult the U-turn becomes. Therefore, keep the vehicle moving straight until you are ready to make the U-turn, then quickly turn the steering wheel to the left.
