When turning right, ensure safety. Cornering

27.09.2021

The car on the turn experiences the action of additional external forces, in particular centrifugal force, which are absent when driving on straight sections of the road. The centrifugal force tends to move the car outward from the center of the turn in the road. Its value depends on the weight of the car, the radius of curvature and the square of the speed. That is why, at high vehicle speeds, it is dangerous to make sharp turns of the steering wheel performed at short intervals: in this case, the radius decreases sharply, and the centrifugal force increases accordingly.

There is a fair opinion that no two turns are the same on the road. Each turn has a different radius, a different slope, a different surface, a different visibility, or a different environment. Therefore, the driver must evaluate each turn and choose a speed mode that ensures the safety of movement on this particular turn, taking into account its inherent characteristics and surprises. . Then the driver will be able not only to correctly determine the turning radius, but also see if anyone is approaching from the opposite side, if the road is free on his side.

When driving on a curve, you must not allow slipping, which can lead to loss of control of the car. If the driver hears the creaking of tires while cornering in dry conditions, it means that he has developed excessive speed. You can not cut corners, you must always drive on the right side of the road. When turning, do not slow down, change gears, press the throttle control pedal too sharply. All of these can lead to dangerous situations.

The correct turn should be carried out as follows: before approaching its beginning, it is necessary to reduce the speed to the appropriate limit, determined on the basis of experience; the beginning of the rounding should be passed without increasing the speed of rotation of the engine crankshaft, but even without braking even by the engine; at the same time, without jerking, gradually turn the steering wheel, accelerating its rotation as the curvature of the turn increases; from about halfway through the turn by gradually increasing the engine speed so as to exit the turn at a speed equal in magnitude to the speed before the start of the turn. It is also necessary to turn the steering wheel back to the main position without jerking and gradually.

It must be remembered that, due to the inertia of the car, the turn should be started somewhat earlier than the start of the direct rounding of the road, and exiting the turn should also be correspondingly earlier. The value of this advance is determined on the basis of long experience. The correct execution of turns is characterized by the absence of skidding and smoothness. The steering wheel must be held with all fingers and palms of both hands firmly enough, if possible, you should not shift your hands, but rotate the wheel without taking your hands off it. You can't cross your arms. If on a turn with a very large curvature, for example, on mountain serpentines, the driver needs to change the position of one hand, then it is necessary that the other hand always tightly wraps around the steering wheel rim. It is prohibited to remove both hands from the steering wheel at the same time in all cases. One of the difficult tasks for the driver is to quickly and accurately determine the amount of curvature of the turn and hence the choice of a safe speed.

4. In any.

Question:
Arrows are not visible on the non-burning sections of the traffic light, I cannot know what will be highlighted there, thus I cannot say where I will move.
Answer:
On the remaining sections of the traffic light, the same arrow to the right will be displayed. All sections always have the same arrows.

Correct answer:
When the green light turns on, continue moving only to the right.

Correct answer:
In all cases where towing is carried out.

Ticket 16 - Question 8

Is the driver of a car moving in the left lane obliged to give way in this situation?

1. Required.

2. Not required.

The driver of a car moving along the left lane without changing the direction of movement is not obliged to give way to a car whose driver intends to change lanes to the left lane (clause 8.4).

Correct answer:
Is not obliged to.

Ticket 16 - Question 9

Can you make a U-turn at an intersection while reversing?

2. It is possible, if this does not interfere with other road users.

3. You can't.

It is impossible to turn around in this way, since reversing is prohibited at intersections (clause 8.12).

Correct answer:
It is forbidden.

Ticket 16 - Question 10

At what maximum speed do you have the right to continue driving outside built-up areas in a car?

Correct answer:
90 km/h

Ticket 16 - Question 11

Are you allowed to overtake in this situation?

1. Permitted.

2. Permitted only if the tractor speed is less than 30 km/h.

At unregulated intersections, overtaking is prohibited when driving on a road that is not the main one (clause 11.4). Since you are approaching an intersection of unequal roads, moving along the main road (sign 2.1 "Main road"), you can overtake at this intersection.

Correct answer:
Allowed.

Ticket 16 - Question 12

In which of the following places can you park your car?

1. Only V.

2. B or C.

3. In any.

In this situation, you are allowed to park the car only in place B, since clause 12.1 of the Rules allows you to park the car on the right side of the road. According to this paragraph of the Rules, under certain conditions, it is allowed to park a car on the left side of the road only in a built-up area. However sign 5.26 "The end of the settlement" (on a blue background) informs that on this road, both before the sign and after it, the provisions of the Rules established for driving in settlements.

Correct answer:
Only in.

Ticket 16 - Question 13

You intend to drive straight through the intersection. Who should you give way to?

1. Tram and car.

2. Only by tram.

3. Nobody.

The green signal of the traffic light gives you and the oncoming vehicle the right to move (clause 6.2). In this case, you must give way only to the tram, as it has an advantage in relation to trackless vehicles (clause 13.6). An oncoming passenger car must give way to you, as it turns left (clause 13.4).

Correct answer:
Tram only.

Ticket 16 - Question 14

When you enter an intersection, you:

1. Must give way to both vehicles.

2. Must give way only to a car.

3. Have an advantage over both vehicles.

At the entrance to the intersection, where roundabouts are organized, marked with the sign 4.3 “Roundabout”, you are obliged to give way to all vehicles moving at such an intersection (clause 13.11 1).

Question:
From November 8, 2017, the rules for passing roundabouts have been changed.
Answer:
The circle, by definition, is the main road of clause 13.11 1 of the SDA.

Question:
The entrance to the circle must be carried out from the extreme right lane in the absence of a vehicle on it.
Answer:
In settlements, movement is allowed in this direction along any of the two lanes of clause 9.4. You can enter the circle both from the right lane and from the left section 8.5.

Correct answer:
Must give way to both vehicles.

Ticket 16 - Question 15

To whom do you have to give way when turning left?

1. Only by bus.

2. Passenger car only.

3. Both vehicles.

Since you are approaching an intersection of unequal roads on a secondary road (signs 2.4 "Give way" and 8.13 "Direction of the main road"), you must give way to both vehicles that are on the main road, regardless of the direction of their further movement (clause 13.9).

Correct answer:
Both vehicles.

Ticket 16 - Question 16

Are you allowed to stop on the motorway to the right of the line marking the edge of the carriageway?

1. Allowed.

2. Permitted only in case of forced stop.

You can stop on the motorway to the right of line 1.2
, denoting the edge of the carriageway, only in the event of a forced stop, i.e. stopping the movement of the vehicle due to its technical failure or danger posed by the transported cargo, the condition of the driver or passenger (clauses 16.2 and 1.2).

Correct answer:
Permitted only in case of forced stop.

Ticket 16 - Question 17

Which of the following requirements are mandatory when transporting children?

1. Transportation of children under the age of 11 (inclusive) in the front seat of a car must be carried out only using appropriate child restraint systems (devices).

3. Both requirements are mandatory.

Transportation of children under the age of 7 years in a car and aged 7 to 11 years (inclusive) in the front seat of a car must be carried out only using appropriate child restraint systems (devices); it is forbidden to transport children under the age of 12 in the back seat of a motorcycle (section 22.9).

Correct answer: point 1.5).

Question:
Why is the content of this question and ticket 12 question 18 roughly similar, but the answers are completely different?
Answer:
In this question (ticket 16 question 18) a maximum slope of 23% is defined, at which the parking brake system must ensure a stationary state of the car. If the slope is more than 23%, then the movement of the car is allowed. Therefore, the correct answer here is up to 23% inclusive. In ticket 12, question 18, we are talking about 16%, but the comparison is based on other parameters (control lamp, pedal travel). Since 16 is less than 23, the operation of the vehicle at 16% is even more prohibited.

Correct answer:
Up to 23% inclusive.

Ticket 16 - Question 19

When turning right, traffic safety is achieved by making a turn along the path shown:

2. Put one hand on the victim's forehead, raise his chin with two fingers of the other and, throwing his head back, bend over to his face and listen to his breathing for 10 seconds, try to feel the exhaled air with his cheek, follow the movement of the chest.

3. Without tilting the head of the victim, bend over to his face and within 10 seconds listen to the breath, feel it with your cheek, follow the movement of his chest.

In a victim who has lost consciousness, breathing may not be determined due to the retraction of the tongue, blocking the flow of air into the respiratory tract. Therefore, to determine the presence of breathing, you must first restore the patency of the respiratory tract of the victim. To do this, put one hand on his forehead, and with two fingers of the other raise his chin, throw back his head. Then, leaning towards his face, listen to his breathing for 10 seconds, try to feel the exhaled air with his cheek, establish the presence or absence of chest movement.

Correct answer:
Put one hand on the victim’s forehead, raise his chin with two fingers of the other and, throwing his head back, bend over to his face and listen to his breathing for 10 seconds, try to feel the exhaled air with his cheek, follow the movement of the chest.

8.1. Before starting to move, changing lanes, turning (turning) and stopping, the driver is obliged to give signals with light indicators for the direction of the corresponding direction, and if they are absent or faulty, by hand. When performing a maneuver, there should not be a danger to traffic, as well as obstacles to other road users.

The signal of a left turn (reversal) corresponds to the left arm extended to the side or the right arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards. The right turn signal corresponds to the right arm extended to the side or the left arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards. The brake signal is given by the left or right hand raised up.

8.2. Signaling by direction indicators or by hand should be carried out in advance of the start of the maneuver and stop immediately after its completion (hand signaling can be completed immediately before the maneuver is performed). At the same time, the signal should not mislead other road users.

Giving a signal does not give the driver an advantage and does not relieve him from taking precautionary measures.

8.3. When entering the road from the adjacent territory, the driver must give way to vehicles and pedestrians moving along it, and when leaving the road, to pedestrians and cyclists whose path he crosses.

8.4. When rebuilding, the driver must give way to vehicles moving along the same way without changing direction. When simultaneously rebuilding vehicles moving along the way, the driver must give way to the vehicle on the right.

8.5. Before turning right, left or U-turn, the driver is obliged to take the appropriate extreme position in advance on the carriageway intended for movement in this direction, except when making a turn at the entrance to an intersection where a roundabout is organized.

If there are tram tracks on the left side of the same direction, located on the same level with the carriageway, a left turn and a U-turn must be performed from them if signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 or markup 1.18 no other order of movement is prescribed. This should not interfere with the tram.

(see text in previous edition)

8.6. The turn should be carried out in such a way that when leaving the intersection of the carriageway, the vehicle does not end up on the side of oncoming traffic.

When turning right, the vehicle should move as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway.

8.7. If the vehicle, due to its size or for other reasons, cannot make a turn in compliance with the requirements of paragraph 8.5 of the Rules, it is allowed to deviate from them, provided that traffic safety is ensured and if this does not interfere with other vehicles.

8.8. When turning left or making a U-turn outside the intersection, the driver of a trackless vehicle is obliged to give way to oncoming vehicles and a tram of the same direction.

If, when turning outside the intersection, the width of the carriageway is insufficient to perform the maneuver from the extreme left position, it is allowed to perform it from the right edge of the carriageway (from the right shoulder). In this case, the driver must give way to passing and oncoming vehicles.

8.9. In cases where the trajectories of vehicles intersect, and the order of passage is not specified by the Rules, the driver must give way to whom the vehicle is approaching from the right.

8.10. If there is a deceleration lane, the driver who intends to turn must change lanes in a timely manner and slow down only on it.

If there is an acceleration lane at the entrance to the road, the driver must move along it and change lanes to the adjacent lane, giving way to vehicles moving along this road.
