What gear is suitable for turning?
1 Answers
For small-displacement vehicles, due to their weaker torque, 2nd or 3rd gear is more suitable for regular turns. If the speed is higher, 3rd or even 4th gear can be used. The principle is to avoid stalling the engine by not decelerating too much. For large-displacement vehicles, given their strong torque, using 4th gear is generally fine. Turning precautions: 1. Intersection turns: Intersections often have heavy traffic, making accidents more likely. When turning at an intersection, always observe carefully. One essential action when turning is to use the turn signal, mainly to alert surrounding vehicles. Additionally, try to leave space for other vehicles to avoid blocking their path and causing traffic congestion. Always turn slowly and avoid hitting obstacles. 2. Slope turns: When turning on a slope, remember to honk the horn. Turning on a slope often involves gear limitations, and slopes are inherently harder to control. Honking can serve as an early warning to others in case of unexpected situations. Always reduce speed on slopes and maintain control to ensure safety.
