How to Maintain 30 cm from the Side Line During Parallel Parking?
2 Answers
Here are the steps for maintaining a 30 cm distance from the side line during parallel parking: 1. Keep the right wheel 30 cm from line AC, move forward until the rear of the car passes point A, then stop. 2. Turn on the right signal. Shift into reverse gear, look at the right rearview mirror, and when point A disappears from the mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 3. Look at the left rearview mirror, and when point E appears, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left to enter the parking space. Stop when the car is aligned. Here are some driving test tips: 1. Red indicates prohibition, yellow indicates warning, blue indicates instruction, and absence of these colors indicates auxiliary. 2. Prohibition matches prohibition, warning matches warning, instruction matches instruction—same is correct, different is wrong. 3. There's only a one-word difference between "yellow light on" and "yellow light flashing." "Flashing" ensures safety; "on" prohibits passage, but vehicles that have already crossed the line may proceed. 4. For questions about high beams and low beams, only low beams are allowed; high beams are prohibited.
I've been driving for over a decade, and maintaining a 30 cm distance during parallel parking isn't actually difficult—the key is finding the right reference point. Before parking, first align with the rear of the car in front, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right and start reversing. At this point, keep an eye on the right rearview mirror; when the edge line appears to occupy about half the width of the car body in the mirror, stop—this is usually the 30 cm distance. This spacing prevents tire scrapes against the curb or collisions with other cars. In daily driving, I can usually get it right in one go. When practicing, find an open space and use branches or tape to simulate the curb for a few tries to get a feel for it. Move slowly and stay focused—urban road conditions vary, but once you develop the habit, parking becomes effortless. Remember to step out and take a quick look after parking to ensure everything's perfect.
