It is not acceptable to shift into neutral when turning with a manual transmission. Steps for turning with a manual transmission: First, pay attention to road signs and slow down early. At intersections, there are usually overhead road guidance signs on one side of the road. When turning, always follow the road instructions and reduce speed in advance. Choose the correct lane based on the signs to enter the turning position. Avoid changing direction abruptly, and never alter your route after crossing solid lines. While turning, observe the road ahead and also be aware of blind spots on both sides to ensure full situational awareness. Precautions for turning with a manual transmission: Turn slowly and avoid sudden steering movements. When stopping, use the handbrake. If using the foot brake, apply gradual braking to slow down—avoid slamming on the brakes. Stop gradually. When going up or down slopes, use a low gear to pass smoothly and avoid shifting mid-slope. When going uphill, prevent stalling; when going downhill, never coast in neutral.
