How Many Degrees Should the Steering Wheel Be Turned for Lane Changing?

[DelCharlotte]

When changing lanes, the steering wheel should be turned between 3 to 10 degrees. While driving on the road, it is important not to turn the steering wheel abruptly in emergency situations, as this can easily lead to traffic accidents. Generally, slight adjustments are sufficient. The steering wheel is typically composed of a skeleton and foam, forming a simple structure. Modern steering wheels often come with various switch settings, such as buttons for answering phone calls, accelerating or decelerating the car, and cruise control. When driving on bumpy roads, it is essential to hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands to prevent loss of control. Misalignment of the steering wheel may be related to the tire pressure, the degree of tire wear, wear and tear on the car's chassis components, and the vehicle's four-wheel alignment. Adjusting the tire pressure and then measuring the four-wheel alignment values may be necessary.
