Maintain a lateral distance of approximately 1.5 meters between the car and the parking space. Drive past the target parking space and stop in the middle of the second adjacent space. At this point, position the driver exactly in the middle of this space, turn the steering wheel fully left or right, then slowly reverse.

The technique of lateral sliding is quite common in racing. As a long-time player, I believe the key lies in balancing throttle and steering control. For example, when entering a corner at high speed on dry pavement, lightly pressing the throttle can trigger rear-wheel slippage, then counter-steering to maintain the slip angle. It's best to practice on closed tracks because public roads are too dangerous; equipment like rear-wheel-drive cars is easier to handle, and remember to check tire pressure and brake conditions. Beginners should first seek guidance from a coach to avoid losing control. I started with basic courses and gradually mastered the sense of rhythm, and now I can easily perform continuous drifts, which feels super exciting but requires constant attention to safety boundaries.

How Long Should a Dead Car Battery Be Charged?

Generally, driving on the highway for more than an hour can fully charge the car battery, keeping it in optimal condition. Below are some extended tips for car battery maintenance: 1. Avoid frequent vehicle starts: Do not crank the engine for more than 3 seconds each time. If the first attempt fails, refrain from repeatedly trying to start the engine. From the perspective of automotive working principles, continuous cranking will definitely cause excessive battery discharge and damage. The interval between restart attempts should be more than 5 seconds. 2. Recognize the signs of a failing battery: Some older batteries develop high internal resistance, leading to quick charging and rapid depletion. When the battery has been in use for about two and a half years, routine maintenance should include battery testing to prevent issues. 3. Turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine: Many drivers are accustomed to leaving the air conditioning on or letting it start automatically with the vehicle. This causes the air conditioning system to activate every time the ignition is turned on, resulting in an instant high power load on the vehicle. Over time, this can lead to battery wear and tear.
