How to control the speed when reversing into a parking space with a C2 license?

After engaging the gear, press your heel against the floorboard and slowly lift the ball of your foot. Once the car starts moving, keep the clutch steady. If the car starts moving faster, gradually press the clutch a little more. After turning the steering wheel to full lock, slightly release the clutch. You will feel significantly increased resistance at the moment of full lock, at which point you should either slightly release the clutch or slightly straighten the steering wheel.
When controlling the speed during reverse parking, I mainly adjust it by lightly pressing the brake. Since automatic transmission cars don't require clutch operation, I keep my right foot steadily on the brake pedal. The speed needs to be slow, like a snail crawling, otherwise it's easy to deviate from the parking spot. When I first started practicing, I found an empty parking lot and used idle mode to let the car move slowly, while slightly adjusting the brake pressure with my right foot to avoid sudden stops. Don't keep staring at the speedometer; just feel the rhythm of the car. Remember to frequently use the rearview mirror to observe the surroundings to prevent scratches. Practice more often, and once you get used to it, you'll get the hang of it. Safety comes first, so don't neglect checking blind spots in the parking lot.
