How to Steer the Wheel During a Turn in Subject Three?
2 Answers
The method for steering the wheel during a turn in Subject Three is: 1. Turn on the left turn signal in advance. When making a wide left turn, after the vehicle crosses the stop line, steer 15 degrees to the left, being careful not to turn too early to avoid the left rear wheel running over the solid line; 2. When reaching the center of the road, increase the steering angle to align the front of the vehicle with the intended lane, then quickly straighten the wheel and turn off the turn signal; 3. For sharp left turns or U-turns, the steering method is similar to the right-angle turn in Subject Two. When half of the vehicle has passed the stop line, you can turn the wheel fully to the left, observe the road ahead to choose the lane to enter, and finally straighten the wheel.
I've been driving a taxi for over a decade, so I'm very familiar with steering during the third subject exam turns. Don't get nervous when turning, just rotate the steering wheel gradually - 90 to 180 degrees left for left turns, right for right turns. Slow down before entering the turn, check ahead and mirrors to ensure no obstacles, then begin steering. Accelerate appropriately after exiting the turn while letting the wheel return naturally. Keep movements smooth and fluid - examiners prefer this style. The worst mistake is jerky steering which risks crossing lines or losing stability. New drivers often turn too quickly or late; I recommend practicing simulated curves at driving schools to develop muscle memory and fluidity. Safety first - good habits make driving much easier.
