What is the safe turning distance to avoid collision with the front of the car?
1 Answers
The safe turning distance to avoid collision with the front of the car is: Generally, a safe turning distance of at least 1.5 meters is required for most vehicle models, with larger vehicles needing additional safety distance. When you can see the upper edge of the rear bumper of the car in front, the distance is approximately 1 meter. When you can see the lower edge of the rear bumper, the distance is about 2 meters. If you can see the bottom of the rear tires, the distance is roughly 3 meters. If you cannot see the bumper of the car in front at all, do not attempt to turn; instead, brake and step out to check the distance. When making a left turn, observe both side mirrors and reduce speed, checking the distance between your car and the centerline. Try to stay close to the centerline. Also, observe the left mirror to check the distance between your car and the road boundary. If the distance is large, you can turn with confidence. If the distance is small, reduce speed and gently steer to the left to complete the turn.
