How to Steer the Wheel for a Right-Angle Turn?
2 Answers
First, focus on the raised part of the left wiper, maintaining a distance of about three to four fingers' width between the raised part and the right line. Then, turn your head to check if the left window decal is aligned with the left line. Keep the decal aligned with the left line. When the bottom of the left window's black vertical rod falls on the horizontal extension line of the corner, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
When driving a training car, it's important to prepare early for right-angle turns: Before entering the turn, position the car as close to the outer lane line as possible and reduce speed to below 15 km/h. When your shoulder aligns with the inner corner line, turn the steering wheel sharply toward the center of the turn by more than 1.5 turns. At this point, pay attention to the rearview mirror, as the rear wheels are prone to hitting the corner. If the angle feels insufficient, quickly add another half turn of steering. As the car body is about to straighten, swiftly return the steering wheel. The faster you turn the wheel, the more responsive the tires will be. A common mistake beginners make is turning the wheel too slowly, causing the front of the car to fail to turn and ride onto the curb. Be extra cautious when performing this maneuver on rainy days, as reduced tire grip can easily lead to skidding.
