When to Straighten the Steering Wheel at the Exit of the S-Curve in Subject 2?
2 Answers
When exiting the curve in the S-curve driving of Subject 2, straighten the steering wheel when the outer boundary line disappears at the exit (i.e., when the boundary line is completely covered by the front of the car) to complete the S-curve. Notes: 1. When entering the curve, slow down in advance and keep to the right. 2. Do not turn the steering wheel too quickly or sharply. 3. Try to choose a route with a larger turning radius. 4. Avoid using the brake, especially emergency braking. 5. Check the rearview mirror—it's essential to learn how to use it properly, and also master the clutch by using the half-clutch technique. To successfully pass the S-curve, students need to practice more, as practice makes perfect.
I've coached many students for the second driving test and found that most struggle with when to straighten the wheel at the exit of an S-curve. The key lies in the position of the car's front - you should start straightening when the leading edge of the hood covers the outer edge of the exit boundary line. At this point, the steering wheel needs to be turned very gently, not with large movements like during the curve. Everyone's sitting position differs; shorter individuals might need to wait until the line is completely covered, while taller ones can start when it's slightly covered. I always remind students to practice this reference point multiple times during simulations - it's better to straighten late than early, as early correction risks touching the inner line. Don't fully release the wheel until the rear completely exits the curve, maintaining slight adjustments. Most importantly, control the speed - slower means more reaction time. Remember this reference point to avoid panic during the test.
