When moving forward, in which direction do the rear wheels turn when the steering wheel is turned left?

When the car is moving forward and the steering wheel is turned left, the rear of the car swings to the right. When the car is reversing, turning the steering wheel to the left causes the rear to swing to the left. While reversing, the wheels turn in the same direction as the steering wheel. Cars use the front wheels to change direction. Under normal circumstances, the rear wheels face forward. Only when the car is turning do the rear wheels follow the direction of the front wheels, though the rear wheels' turning angle is smaller than that of the front wheels. When using the steering wheel, avoid sudden turns. For sharp turns, steer early and slowly, alternating hands on the wheel. This method is not only less strenuous but also improves driving safety. Key points for reversing: adjust the interior rearview mirror; frequently check both side mirrors to avoid blind spots; control speed—keep it below 2 meters per second; stop for pedestrians and oncoming traffic; use the reversing camera to judge distance accurately; avoid using the accelerator while reversing.
