Hi,
I am just learning to drive in one of the driving schools. After my second lesson, I realised that I still can't gauge when to start turning when negotiating turns especially sharp bends. My instructor keep telling me to look ahead .. but I don't exactly understand this concept, where do I look when I am trying to turn? It's either I turn too early, too late, understeer, oversteer ... sigh! To those experience drivers ... please help!!!
dont be too anxious! you are only at your second lesson!
anyway i usually start turning when my side mirror reaches the turning point. that is for sharper bends. for curves, just follow what your instructor said - look ahead, and turn your steering accordingly. of course, slow down if you are not that confident in handling turns.
