How to Handle Obstacles on the Left When Parallel Parking?
1 Answers
Solutions for encountering obstacles on the left when parallel parking: 1. Get as close to the parking space as possible when passing by: When driving past a parallel parking space, the vehicle should be closer to the space than in a spacious area. The appropriate proximity depends on the position of the obstacle on the left. If there is no additional space on the left, try to get as close to the parking space as possible, but not too close, as extreme proximity may cause the side mirrors to scrape. 2. Swing the front of the car to the left when passing the parking space: As the rear wheels are about to pass the parking space, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left, commonly referred to as swinging the front of the car to the left. 3. Maintain a certain distance between the front of the car and the obstacle on the left: Most vehicle models have a front overhang (the distance from the center of the front wheels to the frontmost point of the car). Therefore, when moving forward to the left, do not get too close to the obstacle on the left, as this may cause the front of the car to scrape against the obstacle when reversing. For vehicles with a longer front overhang, it is especially important to leave more space to ensure sufficient room for the front of the car when reversing.
