What are the foot movements when turning in Subject 3?

Before making a turn, step on the brake to slow down and shift to second gear, then accelerate after completing the turn. Below is a related introduction to Subject 3: Introduction: Subject 3, including the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. Test content: preparation for getting on the car, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.
As a driving instructor, I must emphasize the importance of coordinating the clutch and accelerator during turns in Subject 3. When you see the curve deceleration sign, first gently press the brake with your right foot to reduce the speed below 30 km/h, while simultaneously pressing the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot. As the car enters the curve, slowly release the clutch to the half-engagement point with your left foot. Once the steering is properly aligned, quickly apply some throttle with your right foot to prevent stalling. The biggest mistake during a turn is coasting with the clutch pressed—this will result in an immediate failure during the test. After exiting the curve, when you feel the car is straight, fully release the clutch. The entire process should be executed smoothly, just like an experienced driver.
Driving an automatic transmission car around turns is much simpler! Gently apply the brake with your right foot in advance to slow down to 20-30 km/h, maintaining this speed as you enter the turn. When steering, move your foot from the brake to the accelerator and let the car coast at idle speed for the safest approach. Never turn while braking, as it increases the risk of being rear-ended. Remember to glance at the rearview mirror before turning—if a car is too close, wait a moment. When gently accelerating out of the turn, ensure the steering wheel straightens in sync with the increasing speed to avoid wobbling.
