You can determine whether the car body is parallel to the sideline through the rearview mirror. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation of the field driving skill test subject. The test items include five compulsory tests: reversing into the garage, side parking, slope fixed-point parking and starting, right-angle turning, and curve driving; 2. It requires mastering the basic driving operation essentials, having the basic ability to control the vehicle, proficiently mastering the basic methods of field and in-field road driving, having the ability to reasonably use vehicle operating components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle movement, and being able to accurately control the driving position, speed and route of the vehicle.

Let me teach you a grassroots method. When exiting the garage, don't just stare at the rearview mirror—it can easily mess with your vision. Remember to sit up straight and align your left shoulder with the vertical pillar of the left car window frame. Keep your line of sight connected to a marked point on the door (like the rearview mirror adjustment button) and extend it outward. If this imaginary line runs parallel to the yellow line at the garage edge and the car's front is straight, you can drive off without adjusting the steering wheel. If it's off, gently correct the direction with a steering adjustment of no more than 15 degrees, and return the wheel to center with a slight shake. If the test site has reference objects like rain pillars, even better—align slowly while easing off the clutch, and leave a little room when turning the steering wheel instead of locking it. This way, the car body will be about 75% straight.

When I was taking the second driving test, the instructor always scolded me for not keeping the car body straight. Later, I figured out a trick: when reversing or exiting the garage, keep your body straight with the back of your head naturally resting against the headrest and looking forward. The key is to observe the direction of the garage boundary lines in the left and right rearview mirrors—both lines must remain parallel and symmetrical to indicate the car is straight. At the same time, glance at the two corners of the front of the car; the horizontal distance to the garage boundary lines should be roughly equal. If the left side is narrow and the right side is wide, it means the front of the car is tilted to the right, and you need to slightly turn the steering wheel to the left to correct it. When adjusting, slow down to the lowest speed and move the steering wheel just a tiny bit (about the size of a fingernail), then immediately straighten it once the car body is aligned.

Newbie struggling with judging when exiting the garage? Here are three simple tricks: First, look at the rear window – if the horizontal line at its lower edge is parallel to the garage boundary line, your car is basically straight. Second, check the side mirrors – the distance between the garage boundary line and the car body should be equal in both mirrors. Third, focus on the front of the car – the edge of the hood shouldn’t be tilted. If you notice the steering wheel is straight but the car is drifting, don’t panic. Use the half-clutch to move slowly and make fine adjustments to the steering, like doing embroidery. The key is to exit the garage slowly, and after correcting the direction, remember to straighten the wheel after counting two seconds. During practice, placing your phone on the dashboard to see if the screen is parallel to the garage line can also be quite accurate.
