What is the general turning speed for novice drivers?

[VanAriana]

It is necessary to slow down in advance when turning. Precautions for turning: Ensure that the vehicle is driving in the center of the lane and the road conditions are not too complex. Force yourself to shift your gaze slightly away from staring straight ahead, using peripheral vision to observe the three rearview mirrors, the road surface, and the area above the front of the vehicle. Maintain a central field of vision that can scan a wide range of road conditions—front, rear, left, right, up, and down. Look as far ahead as possible; observe the rear through the center, left, and right rearview mirrors to see the distance and speed of following vehicles in all lanes; observe left and right from the far left to the far right of the road, including oncoming vehicles, parked cars, pedestrians, and vehicles preparing to turn out at intersections; look up to see road signs and traffic signals; look down to see road markings and obstacles. Bad driving habits: Driving habits are formed over time. If you want to change them, you need determination. Initially, consciously keep your foot off the clutch, and gradually you will develop good habits, avoiding the tendency to always keep your foot on the clutch.

As a driving instructor, I recommend that beginners maintain a speed of 20 to 30 km/h when turning for safety. You see those young drivers who just got their licenses—they tend to panic if they take turns too fast, and sudden steering can easily cause skidding. In urban intersections, pedestrians and electric scooters often dart around unpredictably, so it's best to start slowing down about 200 meters in advance rather than braking abruptly at the intersection. When turning, always check the rearview mirror to ensure no vehicles are beside you before making the turn. I remember one time during a training session, a young driver took a turn at 40 km/h and almost scraped the guardrail—it scared him so much he never sped through turns again. Faster isn’t always better when turning; safety comes first.

I've been driving for five years now, and I still remember when I first touched the steering wheel—I was really unsure about turns, and my instructor always told me to slow down even more. Looking back, that was good advice. Beginners don't have a good sense of car distance or turn angles, and going too fast can easily lead to trouble. For a standard 90-degree turn, around 25 km/h is appropriate in the city, while highway ramps can go up to 40 km/h, but always check the speed limit signs. Weather conditions also matter—reduce speed by 5 to 10 km/h on rainy days, or else the tires won't grip the road well. Actually, turning isn't about the numbers on the dashboard; what's more important is whether the car feels stable. If the people inside aren't swaying, then the speed is just right.

Cornering really depends on the vehicle. My old pickup truck and my wife's sedan feel completely different, while SUVs with higher centers of gravity require even slower speeds. Beginners are advised to practice with family sedans - maintaining 20-30 km/h is sufficient for standard right-angle turns. Pay attention to tire sounds; squealing means you're going too fast. Once when I drove a friend's new energy vehicle, the electric motor's acceleration was so fierce that a 30 km/h turn felt like we might skid out, forcing me to ease off the accelerator immediately. Many modern cars now come with cornering assist systems, but beginners shouldn't rely too much on these electronic aids - mastering fundamental skills remains most important.
