How to Make a Turn Correctly?
2 Answers
After turning on the turn signal, slow down and apply the foot brake. After completing the turn, engage the accelerator. When shifting gears, press the clutch, but remember to apply the brake before pressing the clutch. When shifting gears, press the clutch to downshift to 2nd or 3rd gear, then immediately release the clutch without keeping it pressed. After downshifting to 2nd gear, release the clutch, turn the steering wheel, and place your foot on the accelerator. Maintain the speed, steer the wheel, and complete the turn smoothly.
I've been driving for over a decade, and turning is something that requires attention. Signaling early is the most basic rule—letting the cars behind know what you're about to do, so don't be lazy about it. Slow down well in advance, reducing speed before entering the turn; braking sharply at the apex can easily cause loss of control. Steer smoothly, avoiding sudden jerks that make the car wobble unnervingly. Keep your eyes looking ahead, not fixated on the hood, and aim for the lane you're turning into—especially watching for blind spots where electric bikes often dart out from the side. Choose between a wide or tight turn based on the intersection width: on narrow roads, first move slightly outward to create space before cutting in, while on wider roads, follow a normal arc. Finally, straighten the wheel decisively when exiting the turn to avoid weaving on the road.
