How to Most Accurately Determine the Parking Point for Reversing into the Garage in Subject 2?

Adjust the seat to the optimal position, as the seat's forward or backward position makes a significant difference; before practicing, find the seat position you are most familiar with. For students who are unclear about the concept of reference points, have the coach stop the car at the precise point, allowing the student to sit in the driver's seat for a "personal experience." Ensure the vehicle speed is slow, as slow as possible, to allow room for directional adjustments.

I remember when I was a driving instructor, the most effective method for judging the stopping point during the reverse parking in Subject 2 was adjusting the rearview mirror to the right position, allowing the left mirror to just see the corner or line of the parking space. When the car body is parallel to the parking space and the rear is about a fist's distance from the corner, you can stop. During regular teaching, common mistakes students make include driving too fast or not adjusting the seat properly, leading to visual deviations. I recommend practicing low-speed control more and using external reference points like roadside bricks to assist in judgment. Actually, the key to reverse parking is developing a feel for the car—don't rush, take it slow. While reversing, observe the angle and make slight steering adjustments. Once the car body aligns with the line in the mirror, stop immediately without hesitation. Safety first, after all.

When I was preparing for the Subject 2 driving test, I practiced every day. The key to stopping at the right spot was to focus on the position of the parking space line in the rearview mirror. When the car reversed to the point where the edge of the mirror just touched the yellow line or one-third of the car body was inside the frame, I stopped, which usually resulted in a perfect parking. I was extremely nervous at the test site, but I realized that adjusting the seat height consistently and ensuring a clear view in the mirror were crucial to avoid mistakes. I also spent my free time drawing a simulated parking space near my home and practiced repeatedly to get a feel for it. Practice makes perfect, and this helped me avoid crossing the line and having to retake the test.

I've always been passionate about studying the details of car parking, especially when it comes to reversing into a parking spot. The most accurate method is to calculate the car's angle and alignment points with the parking space. For example, when the corner of the parking space completely disappears from the rearview mirror and two-thirds of the car's rear has entered, it's time to stop. Alternatively, you can use reference points and lines. Don't overcomplicate it—adopt a simpler approach: practice frequently to develop a feel, maintain a steady speed, and naturally find the right spot. The key is to stay focused and not get distracted, keeping your attention on the mirror's view.
