What gear should a beginner use when turning?
1 Answers
When turning with a manual transmission car, you can choose gears 2, 3, or 4 depending on the actual situation. To ensure safety, when making a sharp turn of less than 90 degrees, the gear should be reduced to 2nd or 1st. For wide roads with a 90-degree turn at an intersection, you can use 2nd or 3rd gear. For turns of 120 degrees or more, you can use 3rd or 4th gear. When turning right: Do not turn the steering wheel by hand; instead, move the steering wheel. Turning the wheel insufficiently may result in not completing the turn. The smaller the intersection, the greater the angle you need to turn the steering wheel. Turning the wheel too little may lead to driving in the wrong direction. Always keep both hands on the steering wheel. Precautions when turning: When turning, always slow down, honk, and proceed cautiously, following the principle of 'slow down, look around, and then pass.' Pay close attention to pedestrians and obstacles on the inner side of the turn, and be prepared to stop at any time. Coordinate steering wheel operation with the vehicle speed, promptly adjust the steering angle as needed, and avoid accidents.
