How to judge the distance of the body when turning, when to hit the wheel without scratching, three skills for novices to get started quickly
In car driving, turning is a common but problematic maneuver. Many novices often find it difficult to accurately judge the distance of the body when turning, which can easily lead to scratches or misalignment, affecting the safety and smoothness of driving. Today, I would like to share with you some experience and tips on how to judge the distance of the body when cornering and when to hit the wheels without scratching, hoping to help friends who are learning to drive.
First tip: Familiarize yourself with vehicle dimensions and turning radius
I once had the experience of scraping against a wall while turning in a narrow alley. At the time, I didn't fully grasp the dimensions and turning radius of the vehicle, resulting in a misjudgment and the body being scratched by the wall. Since then, I've been familiar with the size and turning radius of the vehicle I'm driving, often practicing in open areas, and gradually mastering the car's sense of space when cornering.
For novices, it is recommended to practice turning many times in a familiar environment to gradually master the size and turning radius of the vehicle, so that they can more accurately judge the distance of the body in actual driving and avoid scratches and collisions.
The second technique: make use of rearview and side-view mirrors
In addition to familiarizing yourself with the size of the vehicle and the turning radius, the proper use of rearview and side mirrors is also one of the important tips to avoid scratching. When turning, we need to pay attention not only to the road conditions ahead, but also to always observe the situation behind and from the side, especially the use of mirrors and side mirrors is crucial.
I remember one time when I was overtaking on a highway and needed to change back to my original lane in time, but because I didn't pay attention to the speed and distance of the vehicle behind me, I collided with the vehicle behind me when changing lanes. This experience made me realize the importance of rearview mirrors and side mirrors, and when turning or changing lanes, it is important to always observe the situation of the vehicles behind and on the side, so that you can complete the turning maneuver more safely.
The third technique: master the right timing of the round
Finally, getting the timing right is also key to avoiding scratching. When turning, we need to play the wheels reasonably according to the road conditions and vehicle speed, so as to avoid the misalignment or scratching of the body caused by the wheels too early or too late.
I once made a turn in a narrow parking lot and got a scratch from a scratch caused the car to come into contact with the wall due to premature wheeling. This experience made me realize that when turning, it is necessary to play the wheels reasonably according to the actual situation, especially in narrow environments, to avoid scratches or collisions caused by improper wheeling.
In general, in order to accurately judge the distance of the body when turning and avoid scratches and collisions, the key is to be familiar with the size of the vehicle and the turning radius, make reasonable use of the rearview mirror and side view mirror, and master the correct wheel timing. I hope that through the sharing of these skills and experience, we can help the majority of novice friends to drive more safely and enjoy the fun of driving!
