How many methods are there for reversing into the garage in Subject 2?
3 Answers
There are two methods for reversing into the garage in Subject 2, namely right-side reversing and left-side reversing. Below are the relevant introductions about reversing into the garage in Subject 2: 1. Project Introduction: Reversing into the garage is the most time-consuming project in Subject 2 and also the one with the highest failure rate among trainees. 2. Common Mistakes: During the exam, trainees who usually perform well in practice may exhibit a polarized state. Some trainees, worried about failing the exam, become overly nervous, causing their usually proficient exam steps to become completely disorganized during the actual test. Another group of trainees, who believe they perform well in practice, may approach the exam too casually, neglecting some details and easily stepping into the "danger zone" of failure. 3. Tips for Passing: Participate in pre-exam mock tests to promptly identify and adjust your shortcomings, ensuring a smooth passage through the exam.
When it comes to parallel parking, my driving instructor taught me two main methods back when I was learning. The most common one is the rearview mirror method: first align the car body parallel to the parking space line, maintaining a distance of about 1.5 meters. While reversing, keep a close eye on the right rearview mirror, and when the parking space corner disappears from view, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Then, observe the left rearview mirror, and when the bottom corner of the parking space becomes visible, straighten the wheel and make minor adjustments to both sides. This method is particularly suitable for driving tests because the reference points are clear. The other method is the door handle technique: while reversing, pay attention to the positional relationship between the door handle and the parking space corner. When the door handle completely covers the parking space corner line, start turning the steering wheel. This method relies more on spatial awareness, and with practice, the reversing speed can be faster. Actually, no matter which method you use, the key is to control the speed well—the slower, the easier it is to adjust the direction. With a few more practices, anyone can master it.
When accompanying my friend to practice Subject 2, I noticed there are mainly two methods for reverse parking. The standard parking method follows step-by-step reference points: drive the car to the starting line and stop, shift into reverse gear, then when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror covers the dashed line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Wait until the car body and the corner of the parking space form a 30-degree angle in the right rearview mirror, then turn the steering wheel back halfway. When the car body is straight, turn it back fully. The other method is the steering adjustment method: instead of strictly following reference points, continuously observe both side mirrors while reversing, and steer towards the side with more space to adjust. This method is more intuitive for those with good spatial awareness, but for the driving test, the standard method is still recommended, as the test site has clear reference lines. The key thing to remember is: it's better to steer early than late. If you steer early, you can still make adjustments, but if you steer late, you're bound to cross the line.
