How to Adjust the Misaligned Vehicle Body When Exiting the Garage?
2 Answers
The adjustment method for a misaligned vehicle body when exiting the garage can be done using the parallel adjustment method. There are two main points for the reverse parking method: 1. "Non-character type" reverse parking: In this method, the vehicle is perpendicular to the parking space. Using your vehicle's B-pillar as a reference and the first parking space as a marker, you can generally reverse into the third parking space. This positioning method is more suitable for novice drivers, with the advantage of being relatively easy to achieve a one-time entry if mastered well, but the drawback is that it is somewhat mechanical. 2. "Straight-line type" parallel parking: In this method, the vehicle in front is used as a reference. Align the vehicle body, turn the steering wheel to the right, and when the angle between the two vehicles reaches 45 degrees, observe and then turn the steering wheel back while reversing. If estimated correctly, you can achieve a one-time entry.
When I first started driving, I often couldn't keep the car straight when exiting the garage, especially right after getting my license. My sense of direction was poor, and I'd easily veer off course by turning the steering wheel randomly. The adjustment method I learned is to first stop the car completely before exiting, then focus my eyes on a straight-line target in the distance ahead of the garage exit, such as a road or a lamppost, and slowly release the brake to start moving. If the car body starts to deviate, avoid making sharp turns; instead, lightly press the brake to reverse slightly, realign, and try again. Practicing multiple times, especially choosing wider spaces for reverse parking exercises, has now made it easy for me to exit straight. For safety, always check that there are no people or obstacles around, maintain a low speed, and avoid rushing to prevent scratches.
