How to Operate When Turning a Car

Place your left hand at the 9 o'clock position and your right hand at the 3-4 o'clock position, with the thumb on the inside of the steering wheel and the other four fingers on the outside. First, turn on the left turn signal, use your left hand to steer the wheel to the left, and assist with your right hand to push left. After turning, use your right hand to steer the wheel back to the right. First, turn on the right turn signal, use your right hand to steer the wheel to the right, and assist with your left hand to push right. After turning, use your left hand to steer the wheel back. Making a U-turn is an unavoidable skill in daily driving. There are two scenarios: first, if there is ample space ahead, you can "take a wide turn." The key to navigating continuous curves is to slow down. Before entering the curve, you can lean slightly to the right. If turning right, you can lean slightly to the left.
When I first started learning to drive, I always felt a bit nervous when making turns. Remember to slow down in advance, control your speed, and turn on the indicator about three seconds before turning, while checking the rearview mirror and blind spots to ensure safety. Steer smoothly—don’t jerk the wheel suddenly, or you might lose control. After the turn, gradually accelerate to match the flow. Beginners often forget to slow down or signal; once, I forgot to slow down during a nighttime turn and ended up sliding to the roadside. Now, I’m extra careful. In rain or snow, pay even more attention to keeping your speed low to avoid skidding. Learning to drive takes practice—you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries. But safety always comes first; don’t rush and blindly speed up.
