When to Turn the Steering Wheel During a Curve?

[GavinLynn]

When making a left turn on a narrow road, turn the steering wheel when the right front corner of the car is tangent to the roadside. For wider left turns, you can turn the wheel earlier. When making a right turn on a narrow road, turn the steering wheel when the left front corner of the car is tangent to the roadside. For wider right turns, you can also turn the wheel earlier. Below are some key points to consider when navigating curves: Turn the steering wheel slowly: Always reduce speed when turning, and avoid turning the wheel too quickly to prevent skidding. If the car starts to skid, immediately release the accelerator pedal, steer the wheel toward the direction of the skid, and wait for the car to stabilize before straightening the wheel and continuing. Match speed with steering: When turning, coordinate the steering wheel movement with the curve and adjust according to your speed to ensure an appropriate turning angle. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times to avoid losing control and potential hazards.
