Can You Reverse Park Without Adjusting the Mirrors?

[LaChristian]

You can reverse park without looking at the mirrors. Here are the relevant introductions: Non-Shaped: For "Non-shaped" reverse parking, the vehicle should be perpendicular to the target parking space. Using the B-pillar of your vehicle as a reference point and the first parking space as a guide, you can generally reverse into the third parking space. This positioning method is more suitable for novice drivers. The advantage is that if mastered well, it's relatively easy to complete in one attempt, but the downside is that it's somewhat mechanical. Linear: For "linear" parallel parking, use the car in front as a reference. Align your car's body, turn the steering wheel to the right, and when the angle between the two cars reaches 45 degrees, observe and straighten the steering wheel while reversing. If estimated correctly, you can complete the parking in one go. Diagonal Parking: When the side mirror aligns with the parking space boundary line, turn the steering wheel fully outward and move forward. When the car body aligns straight with the parking space, straighten the wheels and start reversing, directly backing into the parking space.
