How Many Degrees to Turn the Steering Wheel for a Right Turn in Subject 3?
2 Answers
For a right turn in Subject 3, the steering wheel should be turned 180°. Related information: 1. Test content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 includes: preparation for getting on the vehicle, simulated nighttime lighting test, and starting for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and special small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. The test content for other permissible driving models is determined by the provincial public security traffic management department. 2. Expansion: The Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test (commonly known as Subject 4) includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
When teaching someone to drive, I often remind them that there's no one-size-fits-all answer for how much to turn the steering wheel during a right turn in Subject 3. The key factors are speed and the curve's sharpness: at a slow speed of around 20 km/h, turning the wheel about one full rotation is usually sufficient, but the movement should be smooth and steady to avoid sudden jerks that could cause the car to wobble or cross the lane line. Before turning, reduce speed to a safe level and always check the left rearview mirror and blind spot to ensure no vehicles or pedestrians are present. Remember to activate the right turn signal for at least three seconds. After completing the turn, promptly straighten the wheel to prevent the car from continuing to drift right—this can make the examiner perceive poor control during the test. Practicing turns in an empty lot is highly effective for developing a feel; understanding your car's steering characteristics makes it much easier. Above all, prioritize safety, ensuring each step flows naturally and coherently, which is essential for passing Subject 3 smoothly.
