What gear should be used for lane change in Subject 3?
1 Answers
For left lane changes in Subject 3, you can use 3rd gear or higher. Generally, 3rd gear is suitable for speeds of 20-40 km/h, 4th gear for 40-60 km/h, and 5th gear for speeds above 60 km/h. The gear selection should also align with the speed requirements of the left lane. For example, if the left lane requires speeds of 40-60 km/h, you can use 4th gear for the lane change. For right lane changes, you can maintain your current gear and gradually merge into the right lane. Once fully in the lane, you can downshift by one gear. Lane change precautions: When changing lanes, drivers should carefully observe traffic conditions. Before changing lanes, pay attention to the size of the following vehicle in the rearview mirror to estimate the distance. To ensure safety, practice mutual courtesy during lane changes. After signaling with the turn indicator, if the following vehicle honks or turns on hazard lights to indicate disagreement, wait for it to pass before changing lanes. Additionally, vehicles merging from auxiliary roads must yield to vehicles already on the main road, and vehicles entering a roundabout must yield to those already inside. New traffic regulations clearly state that lane changes must not affect the movement of vehicles in the target lane. When driving on curves, prioritize safety over speed and minimize lane changes. Exercise extra caution when changing lanes on slippery roads during rain or snow.
