How to Deal with Driving Straight in a Curve?

[VonTimothy]

Driving straight in a curve is considered as not driving in the designated lane, which can result in a fine and a deduction of three points. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when passing through an intersection, motor vehicles should follow the instructions of traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings, or traffic police. Drivers who violate the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules may receive a warning or a fine. Driving a motor vehicle not in the designated lane usually refers to not driving in the correct lane, crossing the line, or riding the line. The illegal behaviors include: 1. Driving a motor vehicle on the highway not in the designated lane; 2. Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than highways and urban expressways not in the designated lane.

Years of driving on mountain roads have taught me that when taking a curve, your eyes must first look toward the end of the bend! Steer the wheel following your line of sight, and make sure to reduce your speed appropriately before entering the curve. If you encounter a blind curve, never cross into the opposite lane—stay strictly in your own lane. A while back, I nearly slid off the road on a rainy day, so now I ease off the throttle early when approaching a wet or slippery curve, only gently applying power again after passing the apex. Slamming on the brakes mid-curve is a big no-no—it turns your tires into skates with zero grip.

Once when I was in a friend's car, I was scared into a cold sweat watching him overtake on a curve! It's much safer to stay in your own lane when going around a bend, especially since a car could come from the opposite direction at any moment. Before entering a curve, take a quick glance in the rearview mirror—if there's a large truck following behind, make sure to leave plenty of safe distance. If you find an oncoming car encroaching on your lane in the middle of a curve, don't force your way through; honk the horn and move to the right shoulder. And never take a curve at high speed with low tire pressure—I've personally experienced how the car can start to drift.

My driving coach taught me this cornering mantra: Ease off the throttle before entering the bend, maintain steady steering through the curve, and accelerate gently when exiting. Especially when taking corners at night, switch to low beams in advance to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. If you're driving a seven-seater or SUV, reduce your cornering speed by an additional 20% compared to sedans, as the higher center of gravity increases rollover risk. Novices should avoid wrestling with the steering wheel – making small, continuous adjustments is much safer than jerky steering movements.
