How to steer when the rear of the car is leaning to the left?

When the rear of the car is leaning to the left, steer to the right. When reversing, the basic principle is to steer towards the side that has more space. For example, if the left side of the rear is wider, steer to the left. The amount you steer should be equal to the amount you correct to straighten the car body. Vehicle deviation is mainly due to poor judgment of the current position and direction of the vehicle. Techniques for driving straight include: 1. Look straight ahead and pay attention to both sides when driving straight, choose a reference point, maintain a straight line, correct the direction in time, and always be aware of the traffic conditions ahead; 2. Keep the clutch pedal steady, initially press it all the way down, then slowly release your foot; 3. Before driving straight after a turn, try to stay in 3rd gear and apply slight braking.
When I first started driving, the car pulling to the left at the rear really scared me, especially when the body would drag left after turning. I asked experienced drivers for advice and learned to correct it by steering gently to the right—for example, turning the wheel about 15-20 degrees to the right, avoiding sharp angles to prevent losing control. At the same time, I control my speed; if on the highway, slowing down to around 80 km/h before adjusting is safer. Sometimes, the left pull is due to uneven tire pressure or road slope, so I’ve made it a habit to check tire pressure before driving to minimize surprises. Stay calm, keep your eyes on the road ahead, and make slight adjustments to straighten the car. This method is simple—practice it a few times, and even beginners can master it easily.
