How to control the right-side distance while driving?
2 Answers
While driving, you can control the right-side distance by observing the rearview mirror or the right one-third of the car's hood. The right one-third of the car's hood indicates the position of the right wheel. Below is an introduction to car rearview mirrors: 1. Definition: Car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the car's front and inside the car. They reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas. They serve as "second eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. 2. Classification: Rearview mirrors can be divided by installation location into exterior rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. By purpose, exterior rearview mirrors reflect the rear and side of the car, lower rearview mirrors reflect the front and lower part of the car, and interior rearview mirrors reflect the rear and interior of the car. Different purposes result in different mirror structures.
As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I believe mastering the right-side distance starts with small details. Properly adjusting the seat position and rearview mirrors is crucial—tilt the right mirror downward to see the car body and rear wheels, which helps when reversing or making right turns. Regularly glance at the position of the right front wheel while driving; use a fixed reference point, like a small mark on the right front hood aligned with the roadside line, to gradually gauge the distance. Urban traffic is complex, with frequent bicycles and pedestrians on the right, so always check blind spots by looking back, not just relying on mirrors. For practice, find an empty parking lot and drive along the edge lines—a few tries will build your feel. Safety first: stay patient and avoid rushing. These tips have saved me countless scrapes. Beginners should start with the basics and never hurry.
