The hand radical indicates that you have to turn a wheel, and the second component shows that you there are several turns.

If you consider the hand radical to be a wall besides which you are walking and the other characters to be a wall facing you, then the space between these two looks like a corner of the street that you are supposed to TURN around.

This one looks like a hand (the hand radical) and a vehicle — therefore, a hand driving behind a wheel, which is how I remember that this character has the meaning of “to turn.”

it has the hand radical on the left of the character and the 另 on the right looks like brakes and a steering wheel, so to turn you would need to TURN the wheel with your hands.

The 扌 (hand radical) on the left suggests an action involving movement. The 右 (right) part on the right can remind you of a direction (even though it doesn’t mean “right” here). Imagine using your hand (扌) to turn (拐) a steering wheel or handle in a different direction.
