The relationship between the steering wheel and the rear of the car when reversing is that turning the steering wheel to the left makes the rear of the car turn left, and turning the steering wheel to the right makes the rear of the car turn right. The steering method is the same as when moving forward. Reversing refers to the act of a motor vehicle moving backward, and driving in reverse is more challenging than driving forward, mainly due to limited visibility. More details about reversing and moving forward are as follows: 1. Explanation one: When reversing, the control of the steering wheel still follows the method used when moving forward. Therefore, the steering wheel operation is the same whether reversing or moving forward. If the rear of the car needs to turn right, the steering wheel should be turned to the right. Similarly, if the rear needs to turn left, the steering wheel should be turned to the left. If the front of the car leans left while reversing, it means the rear is leaning right, so the rear should be adjusted to the left by turning the steering wheel to the left. 2. Explanation two: Turn left to go left, turn right to go right, whether moving forward or backward. When the car leans to one side, it must be corrected by steering to the other side. If the car body leans left, it must be moved right to straighten, so turn the steering wheel right, and vice versa, regardless of moving forward or backward.
