Moving forward is not allowed during reverse parking. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction: Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is an evaluation point in the driver's test, which requires correctly reversing the vehicle into a garage from both sides while in motion. 2. Test content: Reverse from starting point A into garage B and park correctly; move forward to turnaround area C and stop; reverse from turnaround area into garage B and stop; return from garage B to point A to complete the test. 3. Evaluation criteria: Failing to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; having the vehicle body cross lines or failing to fully enter during reversing results in disqualification; exceeding 210 seconds to complete reverse parking results in disqualification; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time.

Back when I just got my driver's license, parallel parking always made my heart race. Once the parking space was too narrow and I didn't align the angle properly - my car almost touched the neighboring vehicle, so I quickly pulled forward a bit to readjust. That's completely normal! My instructor said this is standard practice, and many drivers do this to correct their trajectory, especially during the beginner phase. Safety first - don't stubbornly keep reversing or you might scrape other cars or walls. During actual parking, observe your surroundings carefully and take it slow. Remember, parallel parking isn't a one-shot deal - pulling forward a few times helps develop better spatial awareness and control. The key is more practice - nowadays I always check my reference points carefully before moving.

With over 20 years of driving experience, I often help friends with parking tutorials. Of course you can pull forward during reverse parking! This is very common in parallel parking or underground mall garages, especially when the reversing angle is off—just moving slightly forward can realign the car with the space. The key is assessing the situation to avoid obstacles. Many people panic and stubbornly keep reversing, which often leads to minor collisions. I suggest staying flexible with steering adjustments rather than rigidly committing to one motion. These minor maneuvers in daily parking save time and reduce friction. After a few tries, you'll find the rhythm. Experience tells me it's best to brake and confirm safety before each forward adjustment. Overall, it's an efficient strategy—just avoid excessive movements.

What does 100 mph mean?

100 mph = 100 miles = 100 km/h = 100 kilometers per hour. Driving speed: There are two ways to express the driving speed of a car, one is "kilometers per hour (Km/h)", and the other is "miles per hour (MPH)". Generally, Japanese and Korean car models and most European car models are accustomed to using "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed, while the North American market usually uses "miles per hour" to indicate speed. As for domestic car models, including most imported models, they all use "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed. Origin of the term "mph": The common saying of how many mph a car is going originates from the speed unit "mile". Originally, one mile equaled 1 mile per hour, which is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers per hour when converted to the metric system. Later, the metric system became internationally common.

What is NEDC Combined Fuel Consumption?

NEDC combined fuel consumption serves as China's reference standard for testing the driving range of electric vehicles. The NEDC test cycle consists of two parts: ECE (Urban Driving Cycle) and EUDC (Extra-Urban Driving Cycle). Purpose of ECE: It simulates traditional urban road conditions, composed of four ECE15 cycles. Each ECE15 cycle includes 15 driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, constant speed, and idling. The ECE cycle lasts for 780 seconds, covers a total distance of 4.052 km, with an average speed of 18.7 km/h, characterized by low speed, low load, and low exhaust temperature. Purpose of EUDC: EUDC simulates suburban road conditions, lasting for 400 seconds, covering a distance of 6.955 km, with an average speed of 62.6 km/h. The maximum speed in this segment reaches 120 km/h.
