How many degrees should the steering wheel be turned for a right turn in Subject 3?
2 Answers
For a right turn in Subject 3, the steering wheel should be turned when the right front corner of the car is tangent to the roadside (i.e., forming a 180° angle between the right front corner and the roadside) if the turning road is narrow. Below is an introduction to the relevant content of the Subject 3 exam: 1. Exam regulations: The specific subjects of the Subject 3 exam are road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge, with full scores of 100 points each. A score of 90 or above is considered passing. 2. Study hour regulations: Subject 3 consists of a total of 40 study hours, including 16 hours of theory, 4 hours of simulated driving, and 20 hours of practical driving. According to the teaching syllabus, driving training is recorded with a time card, and study hours accumulate. Each student can sign in for a maximum of 4 study hours per day.
As a coach with ten years of teaching experience, I must remind students that there is no fixed degree for steering wheel rotation during a right turn in Subject 3! The key during the test lies in observation: coordinating the distance between the vehicle and the roadside, the curve's arc, and the speed. For a regular intersection turn, steering between 90 to 180 degrees is sufficient, and remember to activate the turn signal 3 seconds in advance. The focus isn't counting degrees but learning to observe the rearview mirror while turning the wheel, maintaining a 30 cm distance without crossing the line. During the turn, the right hand should push the steering wheel no further than the 3 o'clock position, with the left hand ready to straighten it at any time. Finally, don’t forget to turn off the turn signal after completing the turn—these are the scoring points examiners truly care about.
