Introduction
This video provides driving instruction on navigating tight corners without hitting curbs or obstructions. The instructor demonstrates techniques for proper timing, positioning, and using both sides of the road when necessary.
Key Takeaways
Turning too early is a common mistake: Learners often turn too early, increasing the risk of hitting nearby objects or curbs.
The "go wide" technique: When space allows, widening the approach to a corner provides more room to maneuver and avoid obstacles.
Using the rear-view mirror: The rear of the car is less likely to hit obstacles, so the driver should use the rear-view mirror to gauge clearance. The object should be aligned with approximately the B-pillar.
Utilizing both sides of the road: In very narrow situations, safely using both sides of the road (when permitted) is necessary to execute the turn.
Checking for other drivers: The importance of checking for other road users before executing maneuvers, especially in tight spaces.
