How to Exit the Parking Space Without Scraping the Adjacent Vehicle?

Turning the steering wheel to full lock should be fine. There's a reference point: when you see the wheel, maintain at least 3 meters from it; when you see the bumper, keep 1 meter; and when you see the license plate, it's about... you can try it out~ When you reverse into the parking space, you might often encounter the phenomenon where the left side is too wide while the right side is too narrow. This indicates that you turned the steering wheel to full lock too early at the starting line. The correct timing is to turn the steering wheel to full lock right at the moment when the left rearview mirror aligns with the starting line. This is the first point. The second point is, after reversing into the parking space and noticing the right side is too narrow, you should adjust the steering wheel to the left (adjust towards the wider side), and vice versa. When the rear of the car is centered, immediately straighten the steering wheel. This way, the issue of one side being wider than the other won't occur. Exiting the parking space is similar to making a sharp turn. If there's still space behind before exiting, you can reverse further to position the car as close to the right side of the parking space as possible. Then, shift into drive and move forward. When you feel that half of the car body has passed the parking space line (the driver has already exited the parking space line), you can turn the steering wheel to full lock left and observe the distance between your car body and other vehicles through the left rearview mirror. If this distance is too close, straighten the steering wheel and move forward until the rear wheels pass, then turn the steering wheel to full lock again. If you cannot continue forward due to obstacles ahead, straighten the steering wheel, shift into reverse, and back up. Then, turn the steering wheel to the right to increase the distance and repeat this process to adjust the car's position for a successful exit. Especially in parking lots, if there's a vehicle in front of the parking space exit, here's how to avoid scraping the front car when exiting: when you see the upper edge of the rear bumper of the front car, the distance is approximately 1m. When you see the lower edge of the rear bumper, the distance is about 2m. When you see the lower edge of the rear tire, the distance is roughly 3m.
