How to Exit a Parallel Parking Space?
2 Answers
The method for exiting a parallel parking space mainly involves the following steps: 1. After hearing the voice prompt, press the clutch and brake, shift into 1st gear, turn on the left turn signal, and fully turn the steering wheel to the left. Slowly exit the parking space; when the right front corner of the engine hood aligns with the roadside line on the right, straighten the steering wheel and continue moving forward. 2. Continue moving forward, and when the left one-third of the engine hood aligns with the yellow line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right; this allows the vehicle to maneuver around the corner of the parking space and exit. 3. When the car body is parallel to the direction of the road, turn the steering wheel back to the left to straighten the car body, and then you can exit the parallel parking test area. Additional notes: During the process of exiting the parallel parking space, it is important to control the clutch properly—the speed should be slow, but the car should not stop midway; the timing of turning the steering wheel must be precise, otherwise missing the correct timing can easily result in crossing the line.
As a beginner driver, I believe that exiting a parallel parking space should be done slowly. First, check the rearview mirror to see if there are any vehicles or pedestrians approaching from behind—this is fundamental. Then, turn your head to look at the blind spot on the side, because there are always blind spots in the car, and relying solely on mirrors isn't enough. Before slowly starting to exit the parking space, make sure the left and right sides are clear before moving. I practiced this technique several times before getting the hang of it. New drivers tend to rush, but patience is crucial. The most important aspect of exiting a parallel parking space is observing changes in the environment, such as being extra cautious about lighting during rain or at night. Simulating this scenario during regular parking can help reduce the risk of accidental scrapes.
