How to Cross the Right Single-Plank Bridge?
2 Answers
Currently, the method for crossing single-plank bridges involves first ascending the left bridge followed by the right bridge. After ascending the bridge, when the left front wheel rolls off the left bridge for about one full rotation, immediately turn the steering wheel to the right to the 1 o'clock position and hold it steady. Turning the wheel to the right causes the wheels to tilt rightward, making the front of the car swing to the right, thereby allowing the right front wheel to climb onto the right bridge. Once the right front wheel is on the bridge, look straight ahead at a point approximately 150 meters away. Gradually straighten the steering wheel to the right based on the tilt of the vehicle body to smoothly cross the single-plank bridge.
Crossing the right single-plank bridge is my specialty, and I often teach this skill during my coaching career. The method is simple: first, slow down to about 10km/h in advance, and don't rush onto the bridge. The key alignment point is to use the right edge of the hood or the headlight to align with the centerline of the bridge, holding the steering wheel moderately without being too stiff. Maintain a steady speed and make slight adjustments to keep straight—never brake or accelerate, as this can easily cause the wheels to slip. Beginners often make the mistake of veering left, so practice several times in the training area: use paint marks to simulate the bridge and enhance spatial awareness. Ensure the entire tire contacts the bridge—reference points vary by car. The risk of falling off the bridge is high, so I recommend checking for slippery road conditions—never attempt it in rain or snow. Focus is the key—don't get distracted by other things. With repeated practice, anyone can master it.
