Which direction do the wheels turn when the steering wheel is turned to the right?

When the steering wheel is turned to the right, the wheels turn to the right. When the steering wheel is turned "to the left" or "to the right", the wheels turn in the direction of forward motion: turning left makes the wheels turn left, and turning right makes them turn right. Additional information: Relevant knowledge about the steering wheel is as follows: 1. Definition: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of travel in cars, ships, airplanes, etc. It is connected to the steering shaft via splines and converts the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The steering wheel is the part of the car that the driver interacts with the longest, uses most frequently, and reflects the most concentrated user demands. 2. Design: The steering wheel is generally circular in shape, with high-performance sports models often flattening the bottom arc. This design is now also applied to regular models. 3. Design features: Ergonomics, such as convex pressing surfaces, mountain-like designs on the back of the grip, suitable hardness and roughness. The wheel diameter is typically 365~385mm, and the grip diameter is 30~50mm.
The first time I drove, I was quite nervous, especially when turning, always afraid of steering the wrong way. Turning the steering wheel to the right definitely makes the wheels turn right, because the steering wheel directly drives the front wheels through the tie rods and rack mechanism, just like turning the handlebars of a bicycle—it's that intuitive. However, I gradually learned a key point: when turning, you should first slow down, keep your eyes fixed on the blind spot, and ensure safety before steering. Beginners tend to jerk the steering wheel sharply during sharp turns, causing the car to wobble, so developing smooth operation habits is crucial. Additionally, modern cars come with electric or hydraulic power steering, making steering easier, but don't rely on it too much. Practicing your feel for the wheel during daily driving is the real key. Remembering these small tips, I felt much more confident on the road, and the car seemed like an extension of my own limbs.
