How to Pass the S-Curve in Subject 2 with a Pickup Truck?
2 Answers
Maintain first gear throughout the entire process and avoid steering too abruptly. Keep the right wheel close to the right curb, and vice versa. Reduce speed when entering the curve to allow more reaction time for better navigation. Pay attention to the position of the front of the vehicle, keeping the outer front wheel as close as possible to the right edge of the curve. Use first gear with half-clutch to move forward, and do not stop during the process.
When I took the S-curve test in the pickup truck for my driving license test, I relied entirely on reference points! First, align the front of the car right in the middle of the entrance and slowly move forward. For the left turn, watch as the left corner of the hood covers the right line, then immediately turn the steering wheel one full circle, keeping the hood corner sliding along the right line. After passing the curve's center, when the hood corner touches the left line, quickly straighten the wheel. Then for the right turn, as soon as the right corner of the hood touches the left line, turn right one full circle, keeping the right corner moving along the left line. Adjust the steering wheel slightly throughout the process—don't turn it all the way—and keep the speed under 5 mph. If you feel the wheels are about to cross the line, correct by turning half a circle in the opposite direction, and remember to straighten the wheel when exiting the curve. Keep an eye on the rearview mirror to check the rear wheel position and adjust as needed.
