How to Adjust Direction When Unable to Park in Reverse?
2 Answers
The method for adjusting during reverse parking is quite simple. Just master the "30cm" technique: maintain a 30cm distance between the car body and the corner of the parking space. When the distance exceeds 30cm, adjust to the right. When it's less than 30cm, adjust to the left. Additional Information: 1. Key Points to Note: When adjusting direction, the movements should be swift and decisive—avoid excessive hesitation to prevent missing the right moment. During the adjustment process, also control the clutch properly, slowing down the speed to allow sufficient time for corrections. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times to prevent uncontrolled deviation caused by the wheel automatically turning back. 2. Evaluation Criteria: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification; having the car body cross the line or failing to park properly in reverse leads to disqualification; exceeding 210 seconds without completing reverse parking results in disqualification; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time.
When I first learned parallel parking, I was also flustered and couldn't seem to get the steering right—no matter how I turned the wheel, the car just wouldn't go in. My palms would sweat from nervousness. Later, I found a spacious parking lot to practice slowly, starting with straightforward parking spots to get used to checking the left and right rearview mirrors instead of just staring ahead. Remember, you need to judge the car's position using the mirrors. If you notice it's off, make small steering adjustments—just half to one turn of the wheel is enough, no need for sudden, big turns. After a few tries, I felt more in control of the car's position and even used the backup camera for assistance. If your car doesn't have one, ask someone to help watch the angles. The key is not to rush. If you park incorrectly, step out and observe the car's distance, then learn from the experience. Gradually, you'll find your rhythm and park quickly and accurately—practice makes perfect.
