Generally, turning the steering wheel one full rotation is sufficient for a typical turn. Below is more information on steering wheel usage: Techniques for turning the steering wheel when making a turn: For tight turns at small intersections, which are more demanding, you may need to turn the steering wheel one full rotation, and if that's not enough, you can adjust by adding a bit more angle. For easier turns at larger intersections, you can start by turning the steering wheel half a rotation and similarly adjust if needed. Precautions for using the steering wheel: Drivers should not remove both hands from the steering wheel simultaneously. The left and right hands should not be placed too close together on the steering wheel. The degree and speed of turning the steering wheel should match the angle of the turn and the vehicle's speed. Do not grip the steering wheel from the inside. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary to prevent damage to the steering system and unnecessary tire wear.

Should You Use First Gear or Second Gear When Pulling Over?

You can use either first gear or second gear when pulling over. Here is a brief introduction to pulling over: 1. Pay attention to the voice prompt: During the Subject 3 driving test, when you hear the voice prompt "Please pull over ahead," observe the traffic conditions on the right and behind you through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors. After confirming it is safe, turn on the right turn signal. 2. Slow down in advance: Reduce the speed to below 10km/h, press the clutch pedal, control the speed, then turn the steering wheel to the right, and slowly approach the curb. 3. Control the distance: Under safe conditions, turn the steering wheel to the left to adjust the distance between the vehicle body and the curb. When one-third of the right side of the front of the car aligns with the edge line, and the distance between the car body and the curb is exactly 300mm, adjust the car body and park smoothly.

How to Shift from 1st to 2nd Gear in Driving Test Section 3?

Method for shifting to second gear: 1. You must slow down first, otherwise it will damage the engine. To downshift, first press the brake to decelerate; after deceleration is completed, immediately release the brake and press the clutch, then quickly shift from second gear to first gear. Especially when the car body shakes, quickly press the clutch with your left foot—do it firmly. Remember this: if the car body shakes, it means there's insufficient power, so downshift quickly to avoid stalling; 2. While pressing the clutch with your left foot, use your right hand to shift gears. At this time, be careful not to look down at the gearshift, as your focus should be on the road ahead. With only one hand on the steering wheel, you must firmly grip it to control the direction. The right hand should shift gears swiftly; 3. Lift the left and press the right like a seesaw—the clutch should be released slowly. After reaching the semi-engaged position, gradually press the accelerator with your right foot, but don’t press too hard. At this moment, it’s like stepping on a seesaw—one foot up, the other down.

Will insurance cover a car flooded by rain?

If a private car is flooded by heavy rain and the owner has purchased waterlogging insurance, the losses incurred from the flooding will be compensated. However, if this insurance is not purchased, the insurance company will not be responsible for compensation. Only by additionally purchasing a waterlogging damage insurance (applicable only to non-commercial vehicles) can one receive compensation in such situations. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: Article 21 of the "Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China" states that the policyholder, insured, or beneficiary must promptly notify the insurer upon becoming aware of an insured event. If the notification is intentionally or negligently delayed, making it difficult to determine the nature, cause, or extent of the loss, the insurer will not be liable for the portion that cannot be determined, unless the insurer has already become aware or should have become aware of the insured event through other means.
