How to Steer in the Curve Driving Test for Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 curve driving steering methods include observing whether the edge lines coincide, checking the distance between the hood and the edge line, and monitoring the position of the car front relative to the edge line. Details are as follows: Observing whether the edge lines coincide: After entering the S-curve, pay attention to observation. When the hood coincides with the right arc, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left. As the vehicle continues to move forward, when the left front of the car overlaps with the right arc, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left and make slight adjustments to keep the front of the car overlapping with the arc. Checking the distance between the hood and the edge line: When the left front hood (1/3 position) aligns with the arc, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. Monitoring the position of the car front relative to the edge line: When the right front of the car overlaps with the left arc, start turning the steering wheel half a turn to the right, then make slight adjustments to keep the front of the car always overlapping with the left arc.
When I first started learning to drive, the curve driving in Subject 2 was a major challenge. My instructor told me to keep the speed around 10-15 km/h—driving slowly helped me stay calm. When turning the steering wheel, I couldn’t jerk it; it had to be gentle, like painting. For example, when approaching a right curve, I’d lightly steer slightly to the left, about a quarter turn of the wheel. For a left curve, it was the opposite—small adjustments to the right. I had to look far ahead, not just focus on the front of the car, but observe the entire curve of the road to anticipate where to adjust the steering. During practice, my common mistakes were either turning the wheel too sharply and crossing the line or not turning enough and drifting off track. Later, I realized fine-tuning was key—each adjustment shouldn’t exceed half a turn, and I had to straighten the wheel promptly. Remember to check the mirrors frequently to confirm the wheel position. After a few tries, you’ll find the rhythm—don’t rush, just practice more!
