How to correct always hitting the right corner when reversing into the right parking space?

[MacAlan]

When reversing with the steering wheel fully turned to the right, observe the distance between the car body and the parking space corner in the right rearview mirror. If it is slightly less than 30cm, you can turn the steering wheel back half a turn. Observe the position of the right parking space corner through the right rearview mirror. If you find that the right rear wheel can enter the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Finally, determine whether the car body is parallel to the parking space boundary line by observing the left and right rearview mirrors. When it is almost parallel, straighten the steering wheel.

I used to always hit the right corner when practicing parking. Later, my instructor gave me a few key suggestions, and after fixing this issue, it became much more comfortable. First step: Before reversing into the left bay, make sure the car is parked straight and about 1.5 meters away from the right line, leaving room for adjustments. Second step: While reversing, keep a close eye on the right rearview mirror—once you see the corner of the bay appear, immediately turn the steering wheel back half a turn to control the wheel's path. Third step: Keep the speed as slow as a crawling snail; going too fast can easily lead to significant deviations and hitting the corner. Also, pay attention to the car's front and rear—if it starts to tilt, stop and make minor adjustments. During practice, I often used friends or the instructor's car as imaginary obstacles, repeating the process a few times to get the hang of it. After driving for a while, I realized this maneuver is about judging distance and coordinating speed. Practicing parallel parking more often can also boost confidence.

Having driven for many years, I once had a minor accident due to scraping the right corner, but I've since learned my lesson and now handle repairs like a pro. First, check the position: ensure the front of the car is directly facing the garage door before reversing into the right-side parking space, and don’t start too far away to avoid insufficient space. During the reversing process, frequently use the rearview mirror to observe the right corner. If the edge of the line disappears from the mirror, it means you’re about to scrape it—quickly make minor steering adjustments to correct, but avoid sudden turns to prevent chaos. Also, get used to using external reference points, such as roadside trees or lamp posts, as positioning markers, and keep the speed below 3 km/h. Practice the entire reversing-into-garage routine regularly, not just focusing on the right corner. From a safety perspective, scraping corners can easily damage tires and paint, affecting driving safety, so it’s essential to regularly check tire wear to nip potential issues in the bud.

My modification method is straightforward: Before starting the right reverse parking, adjust the seat height to clearly see the surroundings. Throughout the reversing process, keep an eye on the right rearview mirror to observe changes in the corner of the parking space. When the corner point disappears, quickly turn the steering wheel back 1/4 turn to stabilize the wheel path. Simultaneously, control the throttle and lightly tap the brake to maintain a slow speed, allowing time to react. If necessary, stop and realign before continuing to reverse. Practice with different angles to develop a feel, and don't overlook the impact of the vehicle's dimensions.
