What causes the right rear wheel to run over the line during a right-angle turn?
2 Answers
Turning the steering wheel too late and releasing the clutch too quickly are the main causes. Key points to note: The test requires low-speed passage, so use first gear without pressing the accelerator to comply with regulations. Once the low-speed requirement is met, timing is crucial. When entering the test area, stay as close as possible to the right curb. Once the front curb is obscured by the engine hood, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left or right until it reaches the limit. Specific operation: When the front of the car aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel. Before entering the right-angle turn, drive slowly forward as far away from the turning point marker as possible within the lane lines.
The most dreaded thing while driving is cutting corners on right-angle turns, right? My driving instructor used to scold me a lot about this. 'You're turning the steering wheel too early!' During a turn, the paths of the front and rear wheels are completely different. For example, in a right turn, if you turn the steering wheel too early, the front of the car will enter quickly, but the rear will swing out and cross the right line. I remember our instructor saying that the most stable way is to turn the wheel when the front of the car is about 1 meter away from the corner. Another trick is to check the right-side rearview mirror—as long as the rear wheel is more than a fist's distance from the roadside line, you generally won’t cross it. Practice a few times, and you’ll get the hang of it. Just make sure to drive slowly—the slower you go, the easier it is to adjust your steering.
