How many days does it usually take to learn reverse parking?

Under normal circumstances, learning reverse parking requires four class hours per day, and it usually takes about a week to master. The criteria for reverse parking are: failing to follow the prescribed route and sequence results in disqualification. Exceeding the parking lines, failing to park properly, or stopping midway also lead to disqualification. Not completing the reverse parking within 4 minutes results in disqualification. The standard dimensions for the reverse parking garage in Subject 2 are: 5.25 meters in length and 2.3 meters in width. Wear the seatbelt properly during Subject 2 test: After getting into the car, fasten the seatbelt properly. Remember not to buckle it incorrectly or to the co-driver's seat, otherwise the system will directly judge the test as failed. Do not unfasten the seatbelt at will during the entire test. Adjust the seat and other settings during Subject 2 test: After getting into the car, adjust the seat, adjust the rearview mirror, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, shift to first gear, and release the handbrake. None of these six steps can be omitted. Make sure all preparations are done thoroughly before starting. No stopping is allowed during Subject 2 test: There is no time limit for reverse parking, but it is important to note that stopping midway is not allowed. If the wheels remain stationary for 3 seconds, the system will judge it as stopping midway. Therefore, controlling the speed is crucial. The time limit for hill start is 30 seconds: The time limit for hill start is 30 seconds, and the system will give a voice reminder every 10 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds will directly result in disqualification.
When I first started learning to drive, it took me over a week to get the hang of parallel parking. I practiced for about two hours every day, and at the beginning, I kept crossing the line or parking crooked, which made me sweat with anxiety. The key is to remember a few reference points: when the left rearview mirror covers the corner of the parking space, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and then straighten it when you see the rear corner of the space. Our instructor always said not to just memorize the points but to understand how the rear of the car moves. Don’t panic if you learn slowly—someone like me with poor spatial awareness took ten days, while Xiao Li in the same car got it in three. I recommend wearing a hat to block the sun so you can see the rearview mirror clearly and learn more steadily.
