What are the techniques for driving on winding roads?

Techniques for driving on winding roads include maintaining an "outside-inside-outside" turning path, adhering to the "slow in, fast out" turning principle, and controlling the throttle before uphill curves. "Outside-inside-outside" turning path: The safest and most time-efficient route when turning is the "outside-inside-outside" path. When driving at high speeds, you should first stay on the outer lane before the turn, move to the inner lane at the midpoint, and then return to the outer lane. This is because, to turn without decelerating and without generating excessive centrifugal force, you should make full use of the road width on both sides, aiming for as straight a curve as possible. Therefore, before starting the turn, stay on the outer lane; when entering the turn, move to the inner lane; and finally, return to the outer lane—maintaining an "outside-inside-outside" turning path. "Slow in, fast out" turning principle: Never rush when turning. Before entering the curve while still driving straight, apply the brakes to slow the car down. For sharp turns, downshift a gear first. Once in the curve, immediately press the accelerator firmly. The acceleration will shift the car's center of gravity backward, slightly lifting the front and making the steering lighter, while the rear wheels may experience slight lateral skidding, allowing the car to turn more easily. When you see the end of the curve and confirm the road conditions are safe, straighten the steering wheel and accelerate.
