You cannot make a turn when stopping one meter away from the car in front. Here are the details: 1. Reason: Taking a sedan as an example, when the outer edge of the car's wheels is 1.65 meters wide, and the distance between the front wheels and the car in front is greater than 1.65 meters, with the distance from the front wheels to the front of the car being about 0.5 to 0.6 meters, then the distance between the two cars needs to be at least 1.1 meters to make a full turn. 2. Overtaking: When overtaking, it is necessary to control the speed of the car because excessive speed is very dangerous. Therefore, you must slow down in advance to pass safely. If a mistake occurs during overtaking, a lower speed allows for timely braking, whereas excessive speed can easily lead to danger. When overtaking, it is necessary to downshift. When overtaking to the left, avoid making a wide turn, as in most cases, overtaking is done from the left. Be careful not to affect the movement of the vehicle being overtaken. Also, pay attention to the driving conditions of oncoming vehicles and the vehicles behind before making the turn.

I've been driving for over a decade, and this kind of issue is really common. Trying to turn the steering wheel all the way at just one meter from the car in front? Sounds dangerous. Most small cars have a turning radius of at least five meters, so one meter is definitely too close. Once, I was in a hurry to make a U-turn and turned the wheel all the way when I was about three meters from the car in front—ended up scraping the fender and had to spend over a thousand bucks on repairs. Safety should always come first; leaving enough space is key. My advice is to reverse a bit to create more distance before turning, or find a wider spot to maneuver. Don’t be reckless when driving, especially when you’ve got kids in the car. Practice more to get a better feel for your car and understand its turning limits to avoid unnecessary accidents. Take it slow—steady and careful driving saves you a lot of trouble.

Our car is mainly used for taking the kids to school, so we have to be extra careful when making sharp turns just one meter away. I once tried something similar in the garage—turning when just two meters from the wall—and still ended up scraping the corner. One meter is even riskier, as the car could easily lose control and collide if jerked suddenly. In daily driving, I prefer to leave more room, about five to ten meters, to ensure safety. If there's no rush, I’d rather reverse and adjust my position before moving forward. With kids in the car, I’m especially mindful to avoid sudden turns, prioritizing smooth driving. Learning basic vehicle knowledge, like understanding that the turning radius starts at around five meters, can help reduce accidents. Once safe habits are formed, driving becomes much more effortless.

What does 100 mph mean?

100 mph = 100 miles = 100 km/h = 100 kilometers per hour. Driving speed: There are two ways to express the driving speed of a car, one is "kilometers per hour (Km/h)", and the other is "miles per hour (MPH)". Generally, Japanese and Korean car models and most European car models are accustomed to using "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed, while the North American market usually uses "miles per hour" to indicate speed. As for domestic car models, including most imported models, they all use "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed. Origin of the term "mph": The common saying of how many mph a car is going originates from the speed unit "mile". Originally, one mile equaled 1 mile per hour, which is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers per hour when converted to the metric system. Later, the metric system became internationally common.

What is NEDC Combined Fuel Consumption?

NEDC combined fuel consumption serves as China's reference standard for testing the driving range of electric vehicles. The NEDC test cycle consists of two parts: ECE (Urban Driving Cycle) and EUDC (Extra-Urban Driving Cycle). Purpose of ECE: It simulates traditional urban road conditions, composed of four ECE15 cycles. Each ECE15 cycle includes 15 driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, constant speed, and idling. The ECE cycle lasts for 780 seconds, covers a total distance of 4.052 km, with an average speed of 18.7 km/h, characterized by low speed, low load, and low exhaust temperature. Purpose of EUDC: EUDC simulates suburban road conditions, lasting for 400 seconds, covering a distance of 6.955 km, with an average speed of 62.6 km/h. The maximum speed in this segment reaches 120 km/h.
