What are the precautions for making a right turn while driving?

Precautions for making a right turn while driving are: 1. Slow down in advance when turning, check the rearview mirror, and ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians behind or beside you before turning; 2. Control the steering wheel properly during the turn—if making a sharp turn, turn the steering wheel as much as possible, then gradually straighten it after completing the turn; 3. For a wide turn, steer slowly. Situations where a right turn is allowed at a red light include: 1. If the intersection has an arrow traffic light, right turns are only permitted when the right-turn signal is green; otherwise, right turns are prohibited; 2. If the intersection has a "No Right Turn on Red" sign, right turns are only allowed when the signal is green; 3. If there are no other signs at the intersection, vehicles may turn right at a red light, provided it does not interfere with the normal movement of other vehicles or pedestrians.
I always think it's crucial to stay highly vigilant when making a right turn while driving. First, I need to signal with the turn indicator in advance to let vehicles behind and pedestrians know my intention. Then, I should reduce to an appropriate speed because turning too fast can easily lead to loss of control. Especially at urban intersections, where there are many blind spots, I make sure to take an extra look in the rearview and side mirrors, and even lean forward to confirm there are no bicycles or pedestrians hiding. Additionally, if I encounter a red light while turning right, some places allow it, but I must ensure pedestrians have the right of way. Extra caution is needed during rain or at night when visibility is poor, so I turn on the headlights to help see the road clearly. In short, practicing this kind of scenario driving more often can enhance safety awareness and prevent accidents.
