Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Making a U-Turn in First Gear?

[Clinton]

It depends on the actual situation, but it's generally better not to press the clutch. When making a U-turn, light braking is sufficient. Pressing the clutch may cause the engine to stall in an emergency situation if the driver panics. Article 49 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates: At intersections where left turns are permitted, if there is a sign indicating 'U-turns allowed during red or green lights,' motor vehicles should make U-turns according to the sign's instructions during red or green lights. If there is no such sign, U-turns can be made during either red or green lights, but the U-turn must not interfere with the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. In the absence of a no-U-turn sign, U-turns are allowed if left turns are permitted at the intersection; if left turns are prohibited, U-turns are also prohibited.
