How to Determine Reference Points for Parallel Parking and Exiting?
1 Answers
There are 4 key reference points for parallel parking in Subject 2 of the driving test, mainly determined by observing the rearview mirrors and the alignment of the wiper points with the road edge line. 1. The first point is to position the car at the starting line after entering the test area, ensuring the right quarter of the hood covers the road edge line, meaning the raised rivet on the wiper should align with the road edge line while driving. 2. When your shoulder aligns with the stop line, press the clutch and brake, shift into reverse gear, and start reversing. Watch the rearview mirror, and when the door handle is perpendicular to the parking space edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. 3. Observe the left rearview mirror, and when the right rear corner of the parking space appears in the mirror, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. 4. While reversing, watch the left rear wheel. When it is about to touch the edge line (dashed line) of the parking space entrance, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and continue reversing. 5. Observe the left rearview mirror, and once the car body is parallel to the parking space edge line, stop the car (the parking time must not exceed 30 seconds).
