How to Control the Steering Wheel When Reversing to the Right Rear?
2 Answers
Before reversing, stay calm, observe the surroundings carefully, and decide whether the rear of the car should go left or right. Turn the steering wheel to the left, and the rear of the car will move to the left; turn it to the right, and the rear will move to the right. When the rear of the car leans to one side, you should correct it by steering in the opposite direction. If the car leans to the left, you need to move it to the right to straighten it, so turn the steering wheel to the right. Otherwise, do the opposite.
When I was learning to drive, my instructor said: When reversing, the steering wheel works opposite to going forward. To reverse to the right rear, you need to turn the steering wheel to the right. The key is to make small adjustments slowly, don’t jerk the wheel suddenly. Watch the distance between the right rear wheel and the path in the rearview mirror, and if it feels too close to an obstacle, gently correct by turning the steering wheel back a bit. When reversing to the right, it’s best to turn your head and look out the right rear window—this gives a more accurate judgment of position. Relying solely on the reversing camera can sometimes leave blind spots. With more practice, you’ll find that turning the wheel about half a turn and then making fine adjustments is the easiest to control. If the car body tilts, don’t panic—just move forward half a step to realign.
