How to Steer the Wheel When Driving on Curves?

There are three main considerations for steering the wheel when driving on curves. Below is an introduction to steering the wheel on curves: 1. At the entrance: Generally, there are two directions, left entrance and right entrance. For a left entrance, the vehicle should stay close to the right line before turning the wheel to the left. For a right entrance, the opposite applies—the vehicle should stay close to the left line before turning the wheel to the right. This is to account for the inner wheel difference and avoid the rear wheels crossing the line during the turn. 2. During the drive: Keep the front of the car aligned with the edge line. Taking a left entrance as an example, when the right corner of the car touches the right line, turn the wheel one full turn to the left, keeping the left corner of the car at a certain angle to the line on the ground, and follow the right line of the first curve of the S-path. This ensures the car does not cross or go off the line. When reaching the second curve, follow the same method as the first curve. Additionally, maintain a slow speed and check the left and right rearview mirrors to see if the wheels are crossing the yellow line. Adjust the steering based on the distance between the wheels and the yellow line. 3. Exiting the S-curve: Pay attention to the two directions—left exit and right exit. For a left exit, when the front wheels are just about to leave, turn the wheel half a turn to the right to prevent the rear wheels from crossing the line. For a right exit, do the opposite—when the front wheels are just about to leave, turn the wheel half a turn to the left to prevent the rear wheels from crossing the line.
