How much to turn the steering wheel when making a left turn at an intersection?
1 Answers
When turning at an intersection, the amount of steering wheel turn depends on the size of the turn. The smaller the intersection, the greater the angle of the steering wheel turn for a left turn. Turning too much at a large intersection may lead to driving in the opposite direction, especially when making a left turn across two or three lane lines. If the vehicle is in the right lane line and the steering wheel is turned too much, it may affect the left-turning vehicles on the left. The correct method is to first turn the steering wheel slightly less than half a turn, and if it feels insufficient, add a little more to make it just right. Below are some techniques for turning at intersections: 1. Turn the steering wheel one full turn for a left turn. 2. For a small left turn intersection, turn the steering wheel one full turn, and add a little more if it's not enough. 3. For a large left turn intersection, first turn the steering wheel half a turn, and add a little more if the angle is insufficient.
