Can the left and right reversing methods for parallel parking be the same?
1 Answers
Left-side and right-side parallel parking actually follow the same reference method. For right-side parking, turn the steering wheel to the right, and for left-side parking, turn it to the left. Left-side parking method: Press the clutch and brake, shift into first gear, release the brake and clutch to start. Slowly exit the parking space. When the car's B-pillar aligns with the left corner of the parking space, turn the steering wheel one full turn plus 90 degrees to the left. Continue exiting until the interior left door handle aligns with a point on the yellow stop line, then press the clutch and brake, shift to neutral, and stop without straightening the wheels. Press the clutch and brake again, shift into reverse, turn the steering wheel about 15 degrees more to the left, release the brake and clutch to start reversing. When the car enters the parking space and the body is parallel to the parking lines, press the clutch and brake, stop, and shift to neutral. Precautions for parallel parking: Maintain a steady speed and control the clutch well to keep the vehicle speed stable, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration, which is not conducive to parking. Practice driving straight forward and reversing in a straight line frequently to improve clutch control.
