How to align the car body with the line in Subject 2?

When starting to reverse into the parking space during parallel parking, it is essential to accurately determine the three-centimeter distance between the car body and the yellow line. For the slope section, the distance from the yellow line must not exceed thirty centimeters, otherwise, ten points will be deducted. There is no thirty-centimeter requirement for curve driving. Simply drive the car to the middle of the curve and follow the instructor's guidance to pass.
As a driving instructor with years of experience, I always emphasize little tricks for aligning the car body. During the Subject 2 test, such as reverse parking, you need to observe the alignment between the car body and the markings through the rearview mirror: maintain a straight sitting position, gently adjust the steering wheel, and don’t rush to move the wheels. The key is to practice more to develop a feel—for example, when reversing to the right, keep the distance between the car body and the line within 10 cm in the right mirror, and if it deviates, straighten the steering wheel and slowly adjust. I’ve seen too many students fail because they were too hasty and ended up with the wheels crossing the line, so I recommend practicing 30 to 50 times during simulated driving. Once you get familiar with the car’s feel, it will come naturally. During the test, take deep breaths, stay calm, and don’t let distractions affect your focus. Remember, patience is your best friend—treat every practice session as if it were the actual test, and your efficiency will improve significantly.
