When you driving, how do you make a good left and right turn?

Question

when you driving, how do you make a good left and right turn? the instrutor either say i turn too fast or too slow, and it is very hard to turn when both side of the oneway road is park, making the road even narrow. any way, how much further do i drive out when stop on the white line, before making a good turn?

thank you

Answer 1

Press the gas lightly while turning the steering wheel in the direction you want to turn.

Lift your foot off the gas and coast through the turn. Give gas as needed.

Enter your new lane and begin driving.

Answer 2

Brake, turn wheel, straighten wheel.

I'm sorry, but turning is completely intuitive and rather simple.

Answer 3

just close your eyes and punch it!!

Answer 4

The more you drive the more you'll feel How and When and How Fast you should turn. Really. It's similar to the perception of speed. When I first drove a car, even 20 mph seemed to be  too fast for me, I tended to look too close in front of the car.

Try to approach the gap in such a way so that your car goes as straight into it as possible.

It's better to be too slow when making turns and increase the speed incrementally as you get more comfortable in the car.

Answer 5

Just follow the road. Don't cut the wheel too soon. Just turn the wheel the same degree as the road is. You'll get the hang of it. Just drive with someone during your free time going through mall parking lots. down one lane then the next. It will come to you after awhile. Just don't run anyone down.  :o)

As far as the turning question, this might help:  What they teach you in high-performance driving is that in a straight line you have your right and left hands on the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions respectively. For turning right, you 1. lift your right hand off its position, 2. with your right hand you will now grab the wheel just above your left hand (with palm facing away from you), 3. have your left hand let go of the wheel while at the same time you revolve the steering wheel in a clockwise rotation. Keep your left hand at the ready near the 9 o'clock position. 4.  when your right hand gets back to the 3 o'clock position, let your left hand grab the wheel at the 9 o'clock position again. (You will notice that your right and left hands are back at their original position and you just turned the wheel 90 degrees to the right). 5. if you have more turning to go, with both hands still grasping the wheel at their original positions keep turning clockwise (to make 180 degrees) and keep turning with your arms crossing themselves (for more than 180 degrees).

To return to straight: reverse the above procedure and to make a left turn just do the opposite.  I know it seems complicated, but complete each step slowly in a parked car,  then work your way up to a more fluid motion until you have mastered it to become "second-nature." Then practice in a vacant lot before you try it in real life.

The beauty of this is that you maintain more hand contact in a controlled position for both hands on the wheel. After doing this all the time you always know the position of the wheel even when you get into some hairy situations (like skidding).

It seems the rest of your problem is with timing. And the only way to solve that is through practice.

As far as stopping at the stop line:  Always come to a complete stop with the front of your car stopping right at the line. The best way to do this is to first forget about how the other drivers (and their bad habits) do this. What you should do is look straight ahead (do not try to look to your left and try to anticipate your move into traffic!) Just look ahead and concentrate on first stopping COMPLETELY at that stop line or at the stop sign first!  Then turn your head to the left creeping forward slowly until you have a good view, stop again, then proceed when you safely have room.
