How to judge the distance between the car front and the wall?

The method to judge the distance between the car front and the wall is: When the front is a wall and the car is facing forward preparing to park, maintain a normal driving posture. Look at the wall base through the lower edge of the left rearview mirror. When the wall base just aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, stop the car. At this time, the distance between the car front and the wall is exactly 50 cm. If parking in reverse close to the wall without the help of a reversing camera, you need to rely on your own experience. Adjust the seat position to suit yourself. You can observe the position of the left rearview mirror. When you can see the rear wall base at the very bottom edge, you can stop the car at this position. At this time, the distance from the rear wall is also about 50 cm.
Hey, after driving for a while, you'll naturally get a feel for judging the distance to the front of your car. My method is to first adjust the rearview mirror so I can see the lower edge of the car body, then slowly move forward while observing the junction line between the wall corner and the ground in the mirror. If that line approaches the front wheel position, it's time to stop—that means there's about half a meter left between the wheel and the obstacle. In rainy weather or at night when visibility is poor, it's actually easier to judge by the shadow position. Another great trick is to sit in the driver's seat while a friend stands in front of the wall waving to indicate the stopping point. After practicing this a few times, you'll develop an intuitive sense of distance. Safety always comes first, after all.
