Right Turns - Making Right Turns for New Drivers: Turn Speed, Lane Position, Steering Control & More

Hey there, fellow road warriors! It's your good old reliable driving instructor Micah here, and today we're tackling the most exciting turn of them all - the right turn!

Now, I know what you're thinking - "But Micah, isn't the left turn the most exciting one?" Sure, it's fun to dodge oncoming traffic and make that wider turn, but the right turn is where the real challenge lies. You've got to avoid clipping the curb and parked cars while making a much sharper turn. But don't worry, I've got your back.

First things first, before you even think about turning, you need to assess the situation. What's the traffic like? Are there any pedestrians or bicycles around? Is it a four-way stop or a one-way street? You gotta know what you're dealing with before you make your move.

Once you've assessed the situation, it's time to prepare for the right turn. Gradually slow down and put on that turn signal, but don't get too close to the curb just yet - you gotta check that blind spot first. And here's a pro tip: when making a right turn, always move towards the right curb after signaling. It's like dancing with your car, but instead of a partner, you've got the curb... it's actually nothing like that... just making sure you're listening.

Now, let's take a look at some different scenarios.

If you're at an all-way stop, remember that it's "first come, first serve." Make sure to check your blind spots and the crosswalk before turning.

For two-way stops, where cross-traffic doesn't stop, you stop first and then inch out into the intersection and angle that steering wheel to the right. You're like a driving ninja, smoothly guiding your car through the turn while checking for any incoming danger.

And when no stopping is required, if you're feeling particularly daring, you can make a rolling right turn! But don't get too cocky - make sure to slow down before the turn and keep a close eye on your surroundings.

At the end of the day, it's all about visualizing where you want to end up and confidently steering your way to victory. So buckle up, my fellow road warriors, and let's conquer those right turns!

Your video teaching is far better than driving school teacher Lubbock.

[yolly]

This is the best driving video I've seen for turning. I'm a new driver struggling with turning, although I'm much better than when I first started. If only my instructor had told me all of this. I especially like the blueprint for making the right rolling turn. This is a fantastic video. Thank you!

[eddyhernandez]

I have a couple of friends who prefer to let the steering slide back in their hands to its straight position when completing a turn. Whereas other people prefer to manually turn the steering wheel back. As for myself, I prefer to do it manually like you and the rest of the people who are like us.

[anthonyl]
