How many hours of practice does it generally take to master reverse parking?

[ChristianLee]

The key to mastering reverse parking is not just about the number of hours practiced, but finding the right reference points, getting a feel for the steering wheel, and learning a few tricks. Of course, time is also important; without sufficient practice, some aspects are hard to grasp on your own. Below are some reverse parking techniques: 1. Identify a reference vehicle next to the parking space: If you're reversing to the right, the space to the right of this vehicle is your parking spot. During the process, use this vehicle as a reference to avoid scraping its right rear corner. Always maintain an appropriate distance from it. 2. The distance maintenance method: Position your car about one meter away from the parking space—not too close, as it leaves little room for adjustment, making it difficult to reverse in one go. Too far isn't ideal either, as it's hard to gauge the right angle. About one meter is just right. While reversing, keep an eye on the vehicle to your right. Sufficient width allows for more adjustment space, a larger visible area, and reduces the risk of scraping other vehicles.
