What are the techniques for steering when turning?
2 Answers
The techniques for steering when turning are: 1. Hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, ensuring body support points and hand grip points, using three points to control the steering wheel; 2. Slow down in advance to avoid excessive speed and vehicle skidding; 3. Take a small turn when turning right; 4. Take a wide turn when turning left; 5. When turning, adjust the steering wheel according to the road curvature and coordinate with the driving speed, achieving appropriate steering angle, proper timing, and timely return of the steering wheel; 6. When turning, observe the angle between the car's left and right corners and the roadside line, aligning the left roadside line with the left front corner of the car and the right roadside line with the right front corner, maintaining tangential contact.
I used to struggle with cornering until I learned proper steering techniques. First, you must slow down in advance – don't wait until the last moment to brake hard. Hand positioning is crucial too; I keep mine at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions for better maneuverability. As you enter the turn, look toward the exit point while smoothly turning the wheel – no jerky movements. This is especially important during rainy conditions when roads are slippery. After completing the turn, avoid sudden acceleration and return the steering wheel rhythmically. These practices have significantly improved my cornering stability, and I recommend new drivers practice frequently to develop their own rhythm.
