Finally unstuck myself from subject 8: sharp turnings. Very boring because I was doing what previous 2 sessions been doing. Instructor remarked that I’m quite inconsistent, sometime makes fantastic turns while other times, not too perfect. Different instructors taught different things. This one taught me to follow the centre white line (when you don’t see it, turn the steering wheel fast, never too late or else end with the rear wheel mounting kerb and never too early or else end with front wheel mounting kerb) while making a sharp turn on inner lane. I prefer this way.
1. When making a left turn as above situation shown,
At high speed, turn once when the front bumper meet the horizontal axis.
At moderate speed, turn once when half bonnet meet the horizontal axis.
At low speed, turn once when the side mirror meet the horizontal axis.
Straighten the wheels when they are parallel to the kerbs.
2. When moving off, always start with the lowest gear (1/2) as it has the greatest power. Starting with gear 3 and gear 4, the engine stalls very easily, can’t even move off.
3. When changing lanes, remember to check rear view mirror, signal, then check side mirror and blind spot before turning. Slow down. When turning, steer the wheel GRAUDUALLY. Very important!
I have removed the illustrations.
