According to the traffic police, a frequent cause of road accidents is improper actions of drivers in extreme situations. And this applies not only to beginners, but also to experienced motorists. One of the difficult maneuvers, which even a qualified driver cannot always cope with, is entering a turn. Learning how to handle a car when entering a corner will provide the driver with safety and improve coordination.
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to make a turn at an intersection, when approaching it, slow down on a straight part of the road. Slow down so that you can go around the corner at a constant speed, supported by gentle pressure on the gas pedal. Do not enter a corner at high speed and do not brake on an arc. Otherwise, you run the risk of being in a skid or on the side of the road.
Step 2
Enter the corner in gear. If it becomes necessary to brake urgently, you can do it almost instantly. Therefore, remember that it is dangerous to perform a maneuver with the gas pedal released.
Step 3
Watch the steering wheel turn. Turning it to a greater than necessary for the maneuver, an angle, can lead to the demolition of the car. Accuracy in performing this action is achieved through repeated training.
Step 4
During movement, when making a maneuver, you have to change the direction of movement. At the same time, the driver can turn the steering wheel in different directions. As a result of sudden movements, the car can skid either to the right or to the left. Try to turn the steering wheel smoothly, without jerking, to avoid skidding and holding the car.
Step 5
Choose the correct turning path. Do not try to cut the corner to complete the maneuver faster. By doing this, you leave yourself less time and space for possible emergency actions. Enter the corner with the most gentle trajectory.
Step 6
When cornering, keep in mind all sorts of factors that can influence the performance of the maneuver (for example, snow, ice, rain) and, based on this, choose the speed. Be careful when you cannot see what is around the corner, and always be prepared for the appearance of a pedestrian, a parked car, etc.
Step 7
Exercise more for better maneuvering. Learn to control your car, show utmost attention on the road, learn to predict the situation.
