How Many Turns of the Steering Wheel for a Right-Angle Turn?
1 Answers
For a right-angle turn, the steering wheel needs to be turned two and a half times. Generally, a full turn of the car's steering wheel is one and a half turns. When turning the steering wheel, the amount turned should be matched by an equal amount turned back to ensure correct direction and prevent deviation. If the steering wheel's rotation angle is unclear during driving, observe the vehicle's direction of travel to judge. Tips for right-angle turns: Before turning, try to drive as close to the outer side as possible. Begin turning inward when the front of the car is about to reach the opposite sideline. Keep an eye on the front and also observe the rearview mirror while slowly turning the steering wheel back. If you feel the middle of the car is about to pass the vertex of the right angle, gradually correct the car's direction. Control the speed well. When turning the steering wheel back, be even, calm, and decisive. Avoid rushing or turning the wheel too forcefully. Adjust the right rearview mirror's position to be as low as possible, allowing you to see the right rear tire from the side. Slow down as much as possible when the car is about to enter the right-angle turn. Keep the left wiper pivot close to the left line of the right-angle turn while moving forward. This point can be hard to judge since it varies based on each person's seating position and height ratio. The main goal is to ensure the left tire is about 15 centimeters away from the left line of the right-angle turn while maintaining proper body alignment.
