The following is an explanation of how to make a left turn at an intersection.
Approximately 30 meters before the intersection at which you intend to turn, pull over to 50 cm from the left-hand edge of the intersection with your rear view mirror, left signal, and left diagonal rearward safety check to prevent the motorcycle from entering the left side of the intersection.
Do not allow the left front wheel to come off the left edge or swerve to the right. Five meters before the turn, slow down and again check the left diagonal rear and turn left. At this point, the left rear wheel should be 50 cm from the left curb.
When entering a left turn on a priority road, the safety check method is to pause before the intersection to check for vehicles coming from the right side, then left, then diagonally left, and then left again after checking for vehicles coming from the right side while entering the intersection.
Remember this as “triangular check”.
Right, left, and left-hand turn (triangular check) ・While moving, turn right
When turning left at an intersection on a priority road without a traffic signal, stop temporarily before the intersection before entering.
Right, Left, Wrap Around (Triangle Confirmation) And Right, Left while Entering the Intersection
Remember the method of changing course as if it were a spell.
First, look in the room mirror, signal the direction you want to move toward, then look directly backward diagonally in the direction you want to move toward, and then move
(1) Roo.
(2) Ai (Signal)
When signaling, look ahead once.
(3) Kaku (check the rear of the car in the direction you want to approach)
Yori (Move while looking in the side mirror)
When the distance is short or you are making a series of left and right turns, it is okay to use only (2) and (3).
When signaling (2), look ahead once to check the distortion of the vehicle body.
(1) (2) is one set and (3) (4) is one set. Look at the side mirrors between (3) and (4).
According to the Driver’s License Test Administration Standards, points will be deducted for the following violations of the left-turn procedure
When making a left turn, the driver’s left rear wheel is generally 1 meter or more away from the left edge of the road at an intersection.
However, if the radius of the intersection is less than 3 meters, the left rear wheel is generally 1.5 meters or more away from the left edge of the road (turning too far to the left).
If the vehicle makes too large a left turn, it will be considered a wobble and 10 points will be deducted from the total. Also, if the driver swerves to the right before turning left to avoid wheel spin, he or she will receive a point deduction. Points will be deducted even if you are within 1 meter of the left edge.
Points will be deducted in the following cases
When a four-wheeled vehicle turning left does not take the following measures: 1. When a two-wheeled vehicle is immediately in front of or parallel to an intersection in the direction of travel and the vehicle does not precede the two-wheeled vehicle; 2. When the vehicle changes course approximately 30 meters or more before the intersection to prevent the two-wheeled vehicle from passing on the left side of the test vehicle before the intersection, but the vehicle does not change course as far as possible before the intersection; or 3. 2. When a motorcyclist changes course 30 meters or more before the intersection to prevent a motorcyclist from overtaking on the left side of the road before the intersection, but stays as close to the left side of the road as possible.
Five points will be deducted on the spot and 10 points will be deducted on the road.
The left-hand side of the road is defined as within 1 meter, but in practice it is about 0.5 meters.
For those of you practicing left turns, here is something to think about: why do you lean to the left when making a left turn?
The answer is to keep motorcycles from entering the left side of the road. From the motorcyclist’s point of view, this may seem like harassment, but it is to prevent accidents involving motorcycles.
Points will be deducted for the following conditions when making a left turn on the test.
When making a left turn, the left rear wheel is approximately 1 meter or more away from the left edge of the road at an intersection (turning wide).
When making a left turn (including entering a narrow road), the driver changes the course of the vehicle to pull as close as possible to the left side of the road, but is still approximately 1 meter or more away from the left side of the road (turning away).
In the on-road test, the score is minus 5 points and minus 10 points only for the off-road test.
In the on-road test, there are about 10 left turns in total, including the entrance of cranks and S-curve cranks, so this is the most frequently observed item and points will be deducted.
In order to make a good left turn, you should practice and learn the position of the left front tire when pulling over, and the position of the left rear wheel and the miracle when turning left.
As mentioned above, the left edge should be 0.5 meters, not 1 meter.
On the street, pull over to the border between the asphalt and cement, and if there is an outside line, pull over to where you step on the line (online).
I will write about a right turn at an intersection.
The following is a detailed description of the violation of changing the course of travel.
Steering to the right before an intersection
Steering to the right just before the entrance of a narrow course (S, crank)
According to the scoring criteria, 5 points will be deducted inside the course and 10 points will be deducted on the road.
During the test, points will be deducted if the driver turns the steering wheel to the right before making a left turn.
When making a left turn, please look straight ahead and check the direction of the vehicle to make sure that you are not steering to the right.
