Should You Take a Wide or Tight Left Turn?
1 Answers
Take a wide left turn. Here are the specific reasons: 1. Better visibility with a wide left turn: When taking a wide left turn, the vehicle stays closer to the right side of the lane. Since the blind spot behind during a left turn is large, a wide turn allows you to see more of the rear-left vehicles and road conditions, avoiding interference with normal traffic flow due to an excessively sharp turn. 2. More room for adjustment: Although a wide turn may seem like it covers more distance, in heavy or congested traffic, it provides more space to adjust and choose the appropriate lane. 3. Steering principle: The steering principle is 'turn the wheel as much as needed, return it proportionally—small turns require small returns, slow turns require slow returns, large turns require large returns, and quick turns require quick returns.'
