Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First When Turning?

[DiAdam]

You must press the brake first to reduce speed, while pressing the clutch ensures the car doesn't stall. For sharp turns, if the car shakes while braking, downshifting is necessary. Specific situations require specific operations—some intersections have gentle turns where third or fourth gear may suffice. Below are precautions for turning a car: 1. Adapt to the road: When turning, adjust the steering wheel according to the road's curvature and coordinate with driving speed, ensuring appropriate steering angle, timing, and timely correction. Never remove both hands from the steering wheel to avoid dangerous deviations. 2. Control intensity: Reduce speed when turning and avoid sudden steering to prevent excessive centrifugal force causing skidding. If the car skids, immediately release the accelerator, steer toward the side of the skid, and only resume normal steering after the car straightens its course.
