How to Check Reference Points and Steer When Making a Right Turn

When making a right turn, first maintain your current steering direction and activate the right turn signal. Check the right rearview mirror to confirm there are no vehicles attempting to overtake from the right side, then turn the steering wheel to the right as needed.

When making a right turn, I first slow down and prepare to observe: when the corner of the right front windshield aligns with the edge of the curb, I start turning the steering wheel. This helps avoid crossing the line or scraping obstacles, which is crucial for beginners. I think it's important not to rush, slowly operate the steering wheel, turning it about 90 degrees to the right, and adjust according to the curve's arc. After completing the turn, ensure the car's front is aligned with the road before straightening the wheel. Remember to signal early to alert others, while also glancing at the right rearview mirror and blind spot for any bicycles or pedestrians. Maintain a low speed throughout, around 20 kilometers per hour, to ensure a safe transition. After turning, don't forget to check the road ahead and accelerate to merge into traffic, developing good habits to reduce accident risks.

When making a right turn, I habitually focus on checking for pedestrians and blind spots. After a quick glance at the right-side mirror, I signal early, steer smoothly by pushing with the right hand and pulling with the left in a natural 90-degree rotation to avoid jerking. For experienced drivers, rhythm is key: turn more for wider curves and adjust lightly for tighter ones. Coordinate your sight points with traffic light changes, such as accelerating into the turn when the light turns green. Straighten the wheel immediately after turning and accelerate to prevent congestion. Also, watch for slippery conditions due to water or gravel on the road, especially in rain. Always scan the distance to vehicles behind you to maintain a safe following distance.

When making a right turn, prioritize safety. Use the obstacle on the right or the corner of the intersection as a reference point. Turn the steering wheel gently and slowly within 90 degrees to avoid loss of control caused by sudden turns. Slow down to below 15 km/h in advance and use the turn signal to indicate. During the turn, scan left and right for blind spots and pedestrian paths to check for potential risks. After completing the turn, straighten the steering wheel and proceed smoothly. Speed control is crucial.
