How to Move the Car in Subject 2?

[DonovanMarie]

When the car is moving, the front wheels are turned by the steering wheel to make the car body turn left or right; When the desired angle is reached, the wheels must be aligned with the car body to move straight forward or backward in the intended direction. Otherwise, the car will deviate from the target direction.

Moving the car into the garage is a key item in Subject 2 of the driving test, primarily involving reversing into the garage. Those who have passed know that speed control and reference points are crucial. When I first learned it, the instructor had me stop at the starting line, and as soon as the corner of the garage appeared in the rearview mirror, I had to turn the steering wheel fully to the right. After the car body entered the garage at an angle, I gradually straightened the wheel. The speed should be controlled with the clutch, maintaining a slow speed with half-clutch engagement—never too fast, or you might hit the poles. During practice, I often made mistakes, such as turning the wheel too late, causing the car body to tilt. Then, I would use the left rearview mirror to adjust the distance to about 30 cm from the garage line and make minor corrections. Mindset is also important. Before the test, practice several times to familiarize yourself with the positions on the field, take deep breaths, and stay calm. If you make a mistake, just try again. Over time, you’ll get the hang of it. Remember, reference points vary by car, so warming up beforehand to get a feel for it is safer.

As someone who frequently instructs trainees, the core of garage shifting lies in three points: point, direction, and speed. 'Point' refers to observation points, such as the timing to turn the steering wheel when the corner of the garage appears in the right rearview mirror. 'Direction' means turning the steering wheel decisively without hesitation, maintaining a 45-degree angle while reversing into the garage and using the rearview mirror to fine-tune the left and right distances. 'Speed' involves controlling the vehicle to move slowly and steadily, using the half-clutch to avoid stalling. Common mistakes made by beginners include moving too fast or delaying the steering, which can cause the wheels to cross the line. It is recommended to adjust the rearview mirrors properly before practice to ensure clear visibility. During the test, stay calm and follow the steps one by one: stop - reverse - turn the steering wheel - straighten - stop. Practice more with bamboo poles simulating the garage in the driving school to develop a sense of direction, and the test will be easier to pass.

The warehouse relocation test is actually not difficult, just master a few key points. First, park at the starting point and reverse, turn the steering wheel fully to the right when you see the corner of the warehouse, then straighten the wheel when the car is halfway in. Control the speed with the clutch to move slowly without stalling, and observe the rearview mirror during practice to ensure the car body doesn't cross the line. Memorize the markings on the test site, try a few times to find the right moment to turn the wheel. Generally, turning too early will make the car lean left and require minor adjustments. Simulate the test a few times before the actual exam, stay relaxed and don't rush. Keep your eyes focused on the mirror while reversing, speed control is the key. Stay steady and you'll basically pass.
