How to Steer When the Car Body is Crooked During Practice?
2 Answers
When reversing, the direction you turn the steering wheel determines where the rear of the car swings. When moving forward, steer towards the side that is wider. While driving, the driver's eyes, any point on the car, and the projection point of the ray formed by the first two points on the ground create a reference line, where the 'ray' refers to the line connecting the first two points.
When I first started learning to drive, the car body often tilted, especially noticeable after curves when I didn’t straighten the steering wheel in time. My instructor taught me a little trick: how to adjust the steering wheel when the car body tilts? You need to learn to make slight reverse corrections—for example, if it tilts to the right, gently turn the wheel a small amount to the left, about 5-10 degrees, avoiding large movements. Always keep your eyes on the centerline of the road ahead, not the hood or wheels, as this helps you sense the overall movement of the car. Speed control is also crucial; practicing at low speeds, like below 20 km/h, makes it easier to feel the subtle feedback from the steering wheel. Never jerk the wheel sharply, as it can make the car wobble or veer off the lane. If the car tilts, stay calm and gradually adjust the steering until the car moves parallel again. Practice simulating such scenarios in empty spaces, like intentionally driving off-line and correcting, to develop instinctive reactions. Once mastered, driving on the road becomes much safer, as a tilted car body risks crossing lines or entering opposing lanes, which is quite dangerous.
