What is the most foolish method for making a right-angle turn?

Before entering a right-angle turn, the vehicle should drive close to the right side, maintaining a distance of approximately 0.1m between the right wheels and the right edge of the road. When the vehicle reaches the point where the driver aligns with the inner right-angle protrusion, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to its limit position. Once the left rear wheel passes the inner right-angle protrusion, gradually steer to the right to exit the turn, straightening the vehicle before completely leaving the turn.

Last time I taught my neighbor's little sister to drive, I told her that the dumbest but absolutely safest method for a right-angled turn is to crawl along using reference points. Keep the speed below 10km/h—before fully turning the steering wheel, make sure the front of the car is about 30cm from the right curb (roughly the length of a water bottle). Focus on a specific point on your right window—I usually use the bottom edge of the side mirror to align with the curb. Once your shoulder passes the corner's edge, immediately turn the wheel all the way to the right. Only straighten the wheel after the rear of the car has completely cleared the turn. This trick works great during driving tests, though cars behind you will honk like crazy. Remember, it's better to reverse and adjust than to force the turn—scraping the rims against the curb will hurt your wallet.

The dumbest way to navigate a right-angled turn? Treat it like a driving test! First, hug the right side within 30cm and creep forward slowly. Stop when the raised dot on the right wiper presses against the curb. Before fully turning the wheel, always tilt the mirror downward to check the rear wheel position. Keep speed below 10km/h throughout - if the rear wheel nears the line, stop and reverse to adjust. My instructor scolded me most for right-angle turns during license tests, until I discovered that keeping speed slower than a bicycle and turning the wheel quickly usually works. Just remember to readjust the mirror after completing the turn.

For beginners navigating a tight right-angle turn, there are three foolproof steps: Stay close to the right side one car length in advance, keep speed below 8 km/h, and roll down the window to monitor the tires. My personal trick is aligning the AC vent with the right-side obstacle before turning, then craning my neck to watch the rear right wheel when steering fully. If you hear tires squealing against the curb, brake immediately and shift to reverse - better to reverse three times than force through. Last week at a market corner, this method saved me with just a hand's width between the mirror and wall.

Teaching my wife to make 90-degree turns revealed that a seemingly clumsy method actually works. You must leave at least 50cm of clearance on the right side of the car—about the length of your outstretched arm. During the turn, keep your eyes fixed on the angle between the curb and the road in the right-side mirror, maintaining a snail's pace of 5km/h. Gradually turn the steering wheel to its limit, and the moment you see a vertical road line appear in the mirror, immediately straighten the wheels. This method proves far more reliable than relying on intuition alone, with high success rates tested in tight right-angle turns in old residential areas—though drivers behind might roll down their windows to 'compliment' your family.

Does the new Audi Q5 burn engine oil?

The new Audi Q5 consumes engine oil slightly faster compared to other vehicles in the same class, but it does not burn engine oil. It is undeniable that burning engine oil is indeed related to the design structure and characteristics of certain engines, but incorrect car usage habits can also cause engine oil burning. Engine oil burning: Engine oil burning refers to the situation where engine oil enters the combustion chamber of the engine and participates in combustion along with the air-fuel mixture. This can lead to rapid damage of the vehicle's oxygen sensor, increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idling, weak acceleration, increased fuel consumption, excessive exhaust emissions, and other adverse effects. It also causes insufficient engine lubrication, and prolonged conditions like this can result in difficult-to-repair engine damage or even potential safety hazards. Solutions: You can use high-quality engine oil, clean the fuel system to avoid carbon deposits, and use fuel additives.
