Is Curve Driving Difficult?
2 Answers
Not difficult. Curve driving is considered one of the simpler items in the Subject 2 driving test. Some students with good car sense can basically complete the entire course by feel, but there are also some students who always cross the line. There is no time limit for the curve driving test, so try to reduce the speed as much as possible, which allows for quick adjustments when problems are discovered. Curve driving: Commonly known as the S-curve, the test requires the vehicle to drive on an S-shaped road surface of specified width without squeezing the edge lines of the road, and the steering must be used freely. Purpose of curve driving setup: To cultivate the motor vehicle driver's ability to use steering and master the skill of tracking wheel trajectories.
To be honest, curve driving was quite challenging for me at first. When I was just learning to drive, my heart would race whenever I encountered mountain road bends, fearing the car might lose control and skid. I remember once on a rainy highway curve, I almost scraped the guardrail because I entered the turn too fast. Later, I learned the key is to slow down in advance, ease off the accelerator before entering the curve, maintain a steady speed throughout, and look ahead to anticipate the curve's shape. The vehicle also matters - my old car had stiff suspension and wobbled badly in turns, while driving an SUV felt more stable. With more practice now, I realize the difficulty depends on experience and conditions - it's harder during slippery weather or poor nighttime visibility. For beginners, I recommend starting with gentle curves, controlling speed properly, and not taking risks like I did. Gradually, you'll adapt.
