How Many Degrees Should the Steering Wheel Be Turned When Making a Turn?
1 Answers
The number of degrees the steering wheel should be turned when making a turn depends on the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, a typical turn requires turning the steering wheel one full rotation, which is 360 degrees. However, if the turning conditions are particularly tight and one full rotation isn't enough, you may need to turn the wheel a bit more to compensate for the angle. Conversely, if the turning conditions are very lenient and you can complete the turn without even turning the wheel halfway, there's no need to turn it a full rotation. Precautions when turning: 1. Always reduce your speed when turning. If you're going too fast, you won't have enough room to maneuver the steering wheel, which can lead to a minor skid or drift at best, or an accident at worst. 2. For sharp turns, try to turn the steering wheel all the way and then gradually straighten it after completing the turn. For wider turns, simply turn the steering wheel slowly as needed.
