What is the dumbest way to make a right-angled turn?
2 Answers
The right-angled turn maneuver usually comes after curve driving. After exiting the curve, steer the car to the right side, aligning the wiper node with the right-side boundary line. Maintain a distance of 30 cm between the vehicle and the right boundary line. 1. At the curve: When the left front door handle reaches the curve boundary line, the front wheels should have just passed this line. Immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Timing is crucial here, and the steering must be quick to avoid the right front of the car crossing the line. 2. Straightening the car: Check the rearview mirror to see if the left rear wheel will hit the corner. If it's about to hit, slightly adjust the steering to reduce the turning radius, ensuring the rear wheel clears the corner. Straighten the wheel when the car body is nearly parallel to the boundary lines on both sides.
The dumbest way to make a right-angle turn is to charge ahead without a care in the world. Look, some drivers are so distracted that they don't even slow down at the turning point—just yank the steering wheel casually, and the car veers sharply to the right. The result? Either the wheels slam into the curb or the body scrapes against nearby obstacles, not to mention startling pedestrians. I've seen plenty of novice drivers do this, convinced they're skilled enough to save time and effort. But in reality, this brute-force approach is a surefire way to scratch the paint or even cause minor accidents. If another car approaches, the risks escalate—ranging from vehicle damage to serious injuries. Remember: brake to reduce speed before turning, then steer gently at a small angle. Prioritizing safety over shortcuts is what truly smart driving looks like.
