How to identify reference points when exiting parallel parking in Subject 2?

Methods for identifying reference points when exiting parallel parking in Subject 2: 1. Turn your head 135 degrees to the right and look at the wide pillar between the front and rear doors on the right side of the vehicle. There is a black protruding cylindrical pull rod below the rear door window. When the cylindrical pull rod aligns with the front right corner of the parking space, that's the moment to turn the steering wheel fully to the right; 2. Using the rearview mirror, when the rear right corner of the parking space appears as an obtuse angle in the mirror, this position can also be determined by the intersection of the vertical bar of the rear door triangular window and the yellow line at the back of the parking space. When exiting, since the steering wheel is already turned fully to the left, proceed directly until the left front fender ridge of the car touches the right yellow line, then straighten the steering wheel and drive forward. When the right front corner of the car touches the right yellow line, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right. You can stick your head out of the window to check if the front wheel is pressing against the yellow line and make appropriate adjustments.

When I first started learning to drive, the most challenging part of the subject two side parking was exiting the spot. The key reference points were the rearview mirrors and the body position of the car. Before exiting, first shift the car into reverse gear, and as soon as the car starts moving, immediately look at the left rearview mirror to ensure that when the left rear wheel is about to touch the roadside line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Then, as the front of the car starts moving outward, watch for reference points ahead, such as when the front of the car is parallel to the roadside, quickly straighten the steering wheel. The entire process should be slow, not too fast, otherwise it's easy to go out of line or scrape the wall. My coach always emphasized practicing several times during training, adjusting the reference points each time, because different cars and seating positions vary. The step of exiting side parking is actually simple; the key is to find the reference points and develop intuition through practice, so you can handle it calmly during the test.

I remember during the Subject 2 driving test, the reference point for exiting a parallel parking space was crucial, and it relied on the rearview mirrors for positioning. After starting to exit, first focus on the left rearview mirror. Wait until the left rear wheel just crosses the roadside line slightly, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right, and the front of the car will gradually swing out. Next, look at the front mirror or a roadside reference point, and straighten the steering wheel immediately when the car body is aligned. Common mistakes include turning the wheel too early, causing the car body to tilt, or turning too late and hitting the line—I've made both errors before, but with more practice, it became smoother. In real driving, the reference points for exiting a parking space are similar, but the test is stricter. So, it's important to develop the habit of using rearview mirrors to observe safety, not just focusing on reference points while ignoring actual road conditions.

The key to exiting the garage lies in precise positioning: Start the engine, then check the left rearview mirror. Once the left rear wheel just passes the roadside line, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right, allowing the front of the car to slowly emerge. After the car exits, look for a reference point ahead, such as the central axis of the road or a mark on the wall, and straighten the wheel once the car body aligns. During practice, adjust the reference point height according to the vehicle, and avoid relying on a single point. Only through repeated practice can you develop the right feel.
